Confession: I have absolutely no idea how good or bad this newsletter is. I had never heard of it before right now. But in a compelling argument for the power of graphic design, the style of the hero image had made me curious enough to go find out.

Why does Jack Skellington list among his Pumpkin King credentials “I’m known throughout England and France” is that a particularly spooky thing to accomplish or

Ttrpg folks: charge what your game costs. Don’t undersell you or your work.

Blades in the Dark by John Harper blew the hinges off the door. Honey Heist by Grant Howitt helped too

If you like Draw Steel (or archaic narrative fantasy poetry), give this a watch— I’m really proud of it and you might enjoy it!

Would you want to play a TTRPG with this game loop?

I believe backstories can be better. I cover rules from DnD 5e, Daggerheart, and Draw Steel, and how they can keep players inherently invested in the game. youtu.be/fLkOTx_-1NU

I love Portland

Every time a forever GM gets to be a player, the earth gets cooler and adds one year to its lifespan.

Idk I just don’t think we should be assigning moral value to art we don’t like at all, actually

I love this hobby. So many amazing games, amazing creators, cool GMs and players. We are fortunate. I love this hobby.

There are simply too many good ttrpgs

FALSE

I hope folks today have art that helps them feel like someone understands what success means. What failure means. What their place in the world is or could be. What power they have or lack. And what it meant to be disillusioned, and what they are disillusioned by.

Reading Triangle Agency 🔺 — @hauntedtable.bsky.social really just asked "What if an RPG was incredibly FUN to read?" I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm fearing for my life. I have no doubt it'll be a blast to play, too

#rpgtheory It might be tempting for us as game designers to think that games' rules "constrain" gameplay, or that gameplay "enacts" the game's rules, but I really think it's the opposite. A game's rules wait inert for you to reach out, in the moment of gameplay, and choose to bring them to bear.

We all play D&D. D&D is no longer the brand, it's just the name of the thing. Like saran wrap. What kind of D&D do you play? 5e? Blades in the Dark? Daggerheart? Pathfinder? Draw Steel? Mothership? Cthulhu? GURPS (because you're freaky like that)? Yep, they are all D&D now. D&D is the best.

My three types of TTRPG characters: 1. Innocent and naive with complex motivations 2. Patient & unserious mage 3. A competent woman who's sick of the status quo (my fav)

Here's something not design-related from Explorers Design. A confession: I can't do accents. Not even coherent bad ones. So, when I prep for my sessions, I deliberately redesign NPCs without them. www.explorersdesign.com/how-to-rolep...
