This December, I wanted to give back to the TTRPG community, so I reached out to a few creators I admire and offered to translate their games into my native language, Brazilian Portuguese. And guess what? The first two games are already available for download on my Ko-Fi, and they're 100% free!

the mechanical crux of coffinkeep is dread. it is very funny to scare your players by dropping another d6 into a pile whenever they make noise.

Finally managed to snag a Brazilian copy of Undying, after years of combing the internet for it. The game's local publisher went under during the pandemic, so there really wasn't any way of buying a copy through official channels. PS: Undying is pretty great! All vampire fans should check it out.

introduce yourself in five #ttrpg classes - Clan Tzimisce (Vampire: The Masquerade) - Bone Gnawer (Werewolf: The Apocalypse) - Shunned Nanomancer (CY_BORG) - The Infernal (Monsterhearts) - Masked Horrorist (Electric Bastionland)

Not surprised in the slightest by my Spotify Wrapped. I didn't leave my comfort zone for most of 2025, listening to lots of The Wonder Years, Ghost, The Front Bottoms, CBJR, Jão, Modest Mouse and Let's Eat Grandma. Shootout to the Coteries of New York OST for sneaking into my top albums, lmao.

I'm honestly surprised "vampire" and "procedures" aren't ranked higher, lmao.

Today we're talking about aftercare for your table after wrapping up your first big ttrpg campaign! Lots of talk about the importance of open communication in this one, as well as ways to learn from possible missteps and ensure that your second campaign will be informed by them!

Mothership v. Death in Space in a nutshell. The former can be amazing at the hands of a GM who's confident and skilled enough to fill in the gaps in the rules, while the latter provides you all the tools you need to run it well.

Turns out New Vegas isn't just a well-written game, it's also one hell of a framework for your TTRPG campaigns. All the pieces are already on the board, all you gotta do is reflavour them, and Dice Goblin made that easier than ever!

NOW IN PRODUCTION COMING WEEKLY TO PATREON LATER TO BE RELEASED ON ITCH #wip #art

Part 3 of my Mork Borg-related TTRPG design ideas series is now live, this time with a crossover idea! #ttrpg #osr #morkborg #cy_borg #ttrpgdesign #blog delvingwolf.blogspot.com/2025/11/my-f...

1/ There's a deep yearning for human interaction and emergent stories in online games, and ARC Raiders is proof of that. Solo players are grouping up, helping others against the AI and PvPers, hell, some are even roleplaying and creating their own fun. MMOs used to fill that niche, so what happened?

Current Fantasy Character Portraits pack sketches, just 1 (and one ninth) pages to go! #WIP #art

On one hand, fleshing out Vampire: The Masquerade NPCs (well, SPCs) is so much fun, and probably my favourite part of prepping for a Chronicle. On the other, I inevitably get attached to a bunch of them, and Vampire is a game where you absolutely *need* to be willing to literally kill your darlings.

Vampire: The Masquerade - Redemption. I bet y'all expected me to say Bloodlines!

Yo, what the actual hell? Goran is one of my GOATs, this shit is baffling. Meanwhile, we have a bunch of reactionary fucks who get to spout their bullshit with no pushback from the mods. For fuck's sake, Bsky. You should be better than this.

I'm thinking about SRDs, but meanwhile... I want to preview another Warriors of the World Ablaze playbook on the kickstarter! We've already previewed the Harrow Queen and the Hunting Kite. Which one would you like to see next? Most likes wins! How about... www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

1/ Heresy time: I lowkey think every World of Darkness title works better as its own individual game, rather than a part of a wider setting. If I'm running Vampire, I tend to simplify the other creatures, using them as monsters from horror movies. No Garou, just werewolves. No wraiths, just ghosts.

Procedures are great, and since Vampire: The Masquerade could use more of 'em, I went and made a couple. Nocturnal Tasks are a quick way of generating and managing tasks and gigs that players (or SPCs!) can take on, and the Urban Pulse is a good ol' random event generator tailored for Vampire.

I made a dungeon (and it's free, and system-agnostic)!

Spaceships that look like big-ass guns. That is all.

VOID_SHIFT PHYSICAL IS OUT and BLACK FRIDAY(ish) SALE IS ON shop.binarystar.games Read on for more detail!

1/ I know I've complained about the OSR/NSR's inherent penchant for autophagy before, but I still believe great games can be made within the ol' dungeoncore constraints. Just because something has been done before, it doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Take Errant, for one.

Not sure if I've ever shared this over here, but this is still one of the coolest character sheets I've ever made. The game it was meant for is kind of stalled, but I learned *a lot* while making it, the number one lesson being that maximalism is HARD.

1/ The Second Inquisition gets a lot of hate, but what really sold me on them as interesting, morally ambiguous antagonists was this page (hidden in the Nosferatu write up, of all places). The SI aren't good guys. They're self-righteous cops, with zero regard for the vulnerable and the weak.

I swear I make some of my best design work for stuff I have no intention of publishing. I use a fan-made V5 Google Docs template for my prep, so I always feel compelled to make a cover, lmao. This is the one I made for my Bloodhunt-inspired Chronicle.

The first episode of the new video podcast, Rose Playing Games, is out! Join two Roses on a journey through hex mapping in tabletop RPGs, and the possibilities that lie beyond the grid.

The shittiest part is that Ubisoft actually hires a lot of great creatives, even if they're underpaid and undervalued by the company. Still, you can always spot some of their spark among all the rubbish Ubisoft pads their games with. I wish we could play the games those devs actually wanted to make.

Holy shit, this is a STEAL. 1200+ gorgeous fonts for under 20 USD! If the conversion rates to BRL wasn't so brutal, I'd get it myself, but this is SO worth it for anyone who already deals in USD.

Who is The Castle Automatic for? Have you been meaning to get HIS MAJESTY THE WORM to the table? Get started right away with 100+ room dungeon for your Underworld, without building your own.

Fuck it, gonna run an ultra-violent V5 Chronicle in Prague to keep the spirit of Bloodhunt alive.

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014). One of the best vampire films ever made!

I am running a session for players who are new to #OSR games, and TTRPGs in general. I recorded a brief primer - and figured it might be useful to others, as well! youtu.be/x_UH7fKFfXw

I blogged my musings about making little micro scenarios, check it out: www.mindstormpress.com/pocket-sized...

Bloodhunt's potential for virtual LARPing is so big that the game was actually acknowledged in the official Players Guide for V5. It's such a shame that Paradox (or Sharkmob, or both) decided to shut it down rather than repurpose Prague as an online social hub. It doesn't deserve to be forgotten.

Here's a headscratcher: my blog post on examples of wealth abstraction rules is currently sitting at 1220 views, making it one of the most viewed posts I've ever written. I have *no idea* why it outperformed the vast majority of my posts, though. I barely shared it here and on Twitter. Weird stuff.

I still regularly use my faction generator to spark ideas and think you might get some use out of it too. Check it out! perchance.org/smoke-fuel-f...

I was looking for a good copy of Mage: The Ascension for a friend on Shopee (the Brazilian equivalent of eBay), and I actually found one! The item's description completely wrecked me, though, as the book belonged to the seller's late husband, and they felt it was time to let it find a new home. ):

If VtM: Bloodlines 2 was a GM/Storyteller, we would have *vastly* different STing styles. That's not to say Bloodlines 2 would be a bad ST, just far, far more bombastic than I am. Some of the stuff that happens during the game's third act is so over the top that I struggled to suspend my disbelief.

Absolum instantly won me over with its gorgeous artwork, but the gameplay is nothing to be scoffed at, either. It's *very* accessible (my partner usually avoids action games, yet she's really digging this one), but it's not lacking in depth, either. Really glad I gave it a shot.

Predator: Badlands is everything I've ever wanted from the franchise, and Dan Trachtenberg is the best thing that ever happened to Predator. That dude just *gets* it.

I *deeply love* all of the game-related work (that isn't scheduling and wrangling and interpersonal management), love building props and setting up stages and etc, making resources available, but there's a difference between "I like it" and "we just expect it from everyone, players do no work lmao"

Oh, what the hell. Judge me based on 4 favourite films, GO!

Yeah, Imma go ahead and say this shit is sneakier than algorithms. Not cool, mods.

Didn't expect to get even MORE peak from one of my GOATs in 2025, but here we are. Check this playtest out, y'all! Not only is it gorgeously laid out, it's also oozing with weird apocalyptic flavour.

Here's a story hook connected to this loresheet: a Sabbat Nosferatu with the Patient Zero *and* the Living Nightmare Advantages is poisoning the city's main blood bank with his own Vitae. Vampires who partake of poisoned blood bags get the Ugly Flaw (-1) for d4 weeks. Unless they're Nosferatu. 1/2

I've been using a modified version of this template to work on the playtest version of my *own* vampire game, This Scarlet Thirst. After making this loresheet, though, I'm seriously considering adapting my VtM procedures to this format and releasing them for free, along with some house rules!

I've got some more to say I guess, which is that the reason rule of cool is so prevalent specifically within DnD spaces is that DnD for the most part, does not let you do cool stuff even though its players are very convinced it does.

The Nosferatu have always been one of my favourite clans, but I still think Requiem did their curse way, way better than any Masquerade edition. To fix that, I made a loresheet that infuses V5's Clan of the Hidden with some of that Vampire: The Requiem 1e flavour!

Hardcase is the coolest solo TTRPG I've ever read, and it's 25% off right now! I'd recommend it at any price, but at 25% off, it's a steal!
