I can’t sleep because Inkvein launches tomorrow. So the answer was of course to start making a neat little sandbox.

Final hours for Mini-Dungeon Magazine. Now 94 pages with comics, a Dwarven Forge adventure, and Khromatic Miniatures. Next up: Scott’s Pizza Tours — as seen on The Tonight Show! Vote for your fav pizza: www.kickstarter.com/projects/adv... #ttrpg #miniatures #tabletopgames #pizza #ttrpgcommunity

Paid members get to peep extra goodies like bts art. I'll even draw you a mech at the high tier! www.patreon.com/posts/look-i...

Day 6 of the Kickstarter release. Yesterday we blew through the first major stretch goal. It's shaping up to be a good run- if you're a MÖRK BORG fan, check out the link below. A limited quantity of Early Backer discounts are still available to snag.

I just released the v1.11 update for WYRM! There are some small changes and clarifications throughout. The substantial change is how attack rolls are made for Wyrms. Hopefully that makes for some more exciting combat and fewer whiffed attacks! gilarpgs.itch.io/wyrm

Waaagh!

Avgrund double drop at the Pit Trap Shop! Two art-dripping releases to enjoy as the world collapses. ⚔️ DOODLES BY NOHR: the spiritual successor to Art by Nohr. 200+ sketches! ⚔️ AT DEATH’S END: follow three lost souls to the edge of the apocalypse in this MÖRK BORG graphic novel.

They finally added Super Metroid to Nintendo Music. Perfect sc-fi soundtrack.

If you like this kind of gameplay design, check out my Kickstarter which includes all three of these encounter types (+ many more). The kickstarter bundle includes a cassette soundtrack & physical map to go with the zine. Early bird discounts still available.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗦𝗲𝘁 𝗮 𝗦𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗲? 𝘉𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘱𝘪𝘤 + 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘰𝘳 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘴. This is my favorite way to start a scenario. Gets gears turning while allowing for individual spotlights & early shaping of narrative. Designed to be as quick or long as you want the intro to be.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝗜 𝗚𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗼𝗼𝗺? 𝘏𝘶𝘦-𝘈𝘥𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘵. 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘺 𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳𝘺. 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦? 𝘛𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘛𝘖𝘜. Ran a playtest yesterday- While PCs slept, table-rolled visions shaped how they could escape. Fun times were had describing dreams. PCs awakened as conditions were met or faces were slapped.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗘𝘃𝗼𝗸𝗲 & 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆? 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳. 𝘈 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘥𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘶𝘯𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵. Barely visible title. 3 simple sentences. Yet there's enough to see here to construct a vivid scene. My PCs outright avoided this one. The NPCs did not.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝘆𝘀𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝘁 𝗜: "𝗪𝗵𝘆'𝘀 𝗜𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁?" When designing a scenario, I try to keep three things in mind: (1) How does the imagery evoke & support the story? (2) How can I give the mechanics breathing room? (3) How does this work to set a scene? 🧵🧵🧵

The ALLJACK (Jack-of-All-Trades, see? Very clever) Wanted to design something in the "real" mecha genre, a proper grunt war machine.

The assassin character. She gets up close and personal and tears away at beasts.

I slowly worked on a new batch of personal concepts this winter! Kept it simple, had fun, and beat 3 years of serious art block and anxiety. A guild of monster hunter's who bite back... Starting with the Gunslinger...
