What are your favorite uncommon words?

Expanding my huge list of RSS feeds to various TTRPG blogs! If you have any that you write to, or enjoy, please comment below with your favorites!

Was out there yesterday for the No Kings protest in Minneapolis standing up for the Constitution. ... Some would say literally! ... I travelled with the team carrying the tarp-recreation of the document. Thing was heavy!!!

Anyone know of a Substack alternative that has a social network feed like it had with Notes? ... Something to make it easy to communicate and network with other bloggers?

Last week was a pretty modest issue! ... I did really enjoy finding all of the videos of actual places on Earth (ruins, tunnel networks, caves, etc) which could inspire TTRPG dungeons.

Howdy TTRPG folks! I want to share my Substack with you!! I do regular round-ups of tabletop RPG news, game master and design advice, free resources, bundles/deals, and more! ... Plus its a great spot to share where my fascination is that week, and connect with people! Link in the comments!! <3

show of hands. who here is on Bluesky natively? (no scheduling apps, or X auto-posts)

show of hands. who here is on Bluesky natively?

so, I started Hytale last night and as a geek for survival crafting and a long exposure to minecraft RPG modpacks, seeing a heroic and atmospheric augmentation of an old formula is refreshing. I might opt to host a Hytale server on my new home lab rather than an MC server

i hate to break it to you, but content creation is really just you talking about your favorite things to a room consisting of three people and twelve mannequins the sooner you understand it the better

X/Twitter has got to be the most enshittified platform I have ever encountered this decade. If the lead traffic of your platform is bots, AI, ragebait, and scheduled deadposting "content creators",... its better to assume that nobody isnt a bot.

In case you missed it, last week, I dig into a bunch of videos about REAL locations which are perfect to base your RPG dungeons on! chaoticanwriter.substack.com/p/real-life-...

www.berryplaysgames.com/gnome-man-ga... @variantberry.bsky.social, a gracious host!, interviewed us about Twelve Realms! Some quotes: "That sounds like a lot of fun!" "Philosophies like [yours] give me hope. It is part of what keeps me playing games!" "That’s a beautiful thing to see!" #ttrpg

On this weeks Dungeon Delve, I highlight a bunch of great videos about ACTUAL dungeons and mind-blowing underground cities, caves, and tunnel systems. open.substack.com/pub/chaotica...

*finds new thing* Oooh! This is cool. This is REALLY cool. I wonder what their blog sa... *sees just one piece of AI-generated art* Nope!! Into the trash you go! Bye.

I'll admit; my slow emergence through my late 30's has me starting a slew of crafty tech and maker projects week to week. My latest: building a mini-server rack to host a bunch of web apps, including a personal "Kindle-like" server for all of my TTRPG PDF's which I intend to share with my friends.

I'm many months into my Bluesky experience, and its the primary platform I use rn as a TTRPG nut. Every time I look at X, I see some Elon or Drumpf tweet I never asked for. Also, Threads kind of felt lacking in personality, and I feel like it is mostly reposts? Hbu? What has your experience been?

I apologize, friends. I suggested in the latest Dungeon Delve that readers should watch my Bluesky for updates on GMs Day throughout the day, and I only send out one or two. I got hit with some IRL and mental health challenges. Even the small promises are important to keep. Will do better.

Its International Game Masters Day, today!!! If you're a dungeon master/game master, or general TTRPG enthusiast, there's a bunch of goodies available for cheap! chaoticanwriter.substack.com/p/game-maste...

I love random tables! ... Fanatical is hosting a bundle for dirt cheap thats worth checking out. www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/ga...

Have no fear, the next issue of Game Jam Alert is here! 😎 6 new tabletop Jams to get the brain juices going. Make a game Make a zine Make a coffee and design something! #rpgdesign

International Game Masters Day is tomorrow, March 4th! ... Today, tomorrow, and this week, expect to see a bunch of great bundles, deals and other TTRPG things for the dungeon master/game master crowd! open.substack.com/pub/chaotica...

BOOM! I decided to drop ANOTHER issue (half-issue), celebrating Zinemonth for the remainder of February! ... More great RPG zines to pledge, play, and promote! chaoticanwriter.substack.com/p/copy-tons-...

I want a dragon pet to put on my shoulder and keep there wherever I go IRL. Coffee shop. Family hangouts. Even dayjob. www.kickstarter.com/projects/par...

In case you missed it, I dropped issue #50 this week! ... Its ZineMonth, and we're celebrating a bunch of new zines. Remember to Pledge, Play, and Promote! open.substack.com/pub/chaotica...

Tis Zine Month! ... I'm highlighting a bunch of cool new TTRPG zines that have hit the airwaves. Pledge. Play. Promote! chaoticanwriter.substack.com/p/i-love-rpg...

Feeling remorseful for the decay of several plans I had coming into 2026. Was going to unveil a site rebrand, new TTRPG game dev projects, and engagement with subscribers of Dungeon Delve. I didnt realize early 2026 in Minneapolis would be a spiritual, safety, and communal defense roller coaster.

I'm back!! ... While we have 6 more weeks of winter, its ZINE MONTH, and there are a lot of fantastic things to look forward to in the TTRPG sphere. Stay strong friends. Love each-other! open.substack.com/pub/chaotica...

So many thoughts and so few ways to express them. Anxious, heart broken, furious, afraid. Nothing to say that others haven’t done so more eloquently. www.standwithminnesota.com

Received my copy of Why We Fight (a resistance TTRPG) this month! Excited to dig in and draft up some notes. www.sdrgames.studio/pages/why-we...

Dungeon Delve (the weekly TTRPG newsletter) will be cancelled this week. Will deliver your regular news, deals, and resources next week!

Minnesota is experiencing the largest strike action in US history in the past 80 years,... with the streets of Minneapolis absolutely packed! I love my city! I love my state!

Last April, I released a d100 table for City Encounters and Urban Sidequests for fantasy TTRPG games. Still seeing downloads, which is encouraging! ... Would love to write more of these! chaoticanwriter.com/d100-city-en...

Got excited about this bundle! I'm starting my game dev journey this year, and there's a ton of great knowledge to absorb here. An awesome library for budding TTRPG and video game developers! humblebundleinc.sjv.io/WyWQvZ

Every TTRPG table needs more magic items!! ... The Kranus Collection is totally system and setting-neutral, and the art is pretty great (and human)! ... Any edition of DnD, Shadowdark, Daggerheart, Draw Steel, Pathfinder, etc. www.kickstarter.com/projects/kab...

Murderhobos are tired. Compassion is wired! Because TTRPGs are often so combat focused, the mechanics of kindness often don't exist, aren't made clear, or aren't encouraged. We need more of this in our games and campaigns. Wyt? markezrastokes.com/the-rule-of-...

D4 Caltrops is a continuous font of random TTRPG tables, and I love them for it! ... This week its a d100 table of leathery waist straps that cast spells, reassemble severed limbs, and even change ancestries! ... Great for DnD 5e, Pathfinder, Shadowdark, etc. blog.d4caltrops.com/2026/01/d100...

Love zines for lifestyle dreams! ... Roll to Fame is a rags-to-riches TTRPG for two players (one movie star, one agent/GM). Delightfully weird! aquarianzines.itch.io/roll-to-fame

Well aren't we little Rascals: www.rascal.news/crypt-prelau... @rascal.news thanks for the hard work and platform you've created. #zimo #ttrpg #crowdfunding

A new issue of Dungeon Delve highlighting the No ICE in Minnesota TTRPG bundle (accepting submissions), with bundles, deals, Kickstarters, free resources, and more! chaoticanwriter.substack.com/p/a-cold-jan...

I love the idea of a quick-and-simple TTRPG which can run in literally 10 minutes. ... You might think; wheres the opportunity for RP? I imagine using it as something to build another TTRPG session into. What do you think? www.kickstarter.com/projects/adv...

Hi friends. … As a city resident of Minneapolis, Minnesota, the past 24 hours have been a lot to process. As such, there will be no Dungeon Delve issue this week as I will instead be using the time to help those around me grieve, and determine where I am needed the most. … Love you all. Stay safe.

Dayum! Apparently, Daggerheart sold out in only two weeks from launch! @darringtonpress.bsky.social must be running victory laps!

Stumbled upon this great post by @inkwellideas.bsky.social . Easy inclusion into this weeks upcoming round-up. Always love a good TTRPG idea post for game masters and dungeon masters! inkwellideas.com/2026/01/10-p...

Want to take a moment to highlight Christopher Hutton over at TTRPGInsider ( @ttrpginsider.bsky.social). Fantastic platform covering #TTRPG hobby game industry news, with interviews and more! ... I spotlight a bunch of Chris's content in round-ups. Check them out! www.ttrpginsider.news
