The weekend's outcome. Wanna sample some #ttrpg combat?

If you haven't already, why don't you peek at this? NPC discussion and improvement #ttrpg

some random musing on #ttrpg design. Character stats, aptitude vs attitude... if you can spot the difference, it's a big one!

Let's start big, but don't forget smaller details (pssst! they make the difference!) #ttrpg #worldbuilding

Diggin' through nimblerpg.com a little. I think it could be the perfect tradeoff to run some solo D&D! #ttrpg #solorpg

Everybody is talking about the prep-less GM, but no one's talking of the prep-less player! No one... so far! kateplays.substack.com/p/the-art-of... #ttrpg

And it finally happened: Volume 2 of Kate Plays is live on itch.io. It's free, though donations are appreciated. It's a collection of all Substack post from May to August in one convenient package! #ttrpg #zine #blog

Over at bundleofholding.com they are publishing Rifts Worldbook bundles. Are they worth the price? Never played/owned Rifts... is it fun? Is it any good?

Just some random thoughts on some random topic. In #ttrpg space of course

Is it cool? Yes, but... Not really! Undermine your #ttrpg table with this! open.substack.com/pub/kateplay...

Part 4 of 4 of the Veridian Bloom nugget setting. In #ttrpg of course! open.substack.com/pub/kateplay...

Part 4 of 4 of my series about better #ttrpg monster. kateplays.substack.com/p/the-lastin...

A hidden gem? thedesignmechanism.com/mythic-brita... #ttrpg #historical #osr

Part 1, beautiful folks, of 4. We talk monsters this tim e. #ttrpg #design

My two cents on the topic of player's skills vs character's skills. #ttrpg #osr

Reading some Fading suns stuff. I think I like it... Sort of... Maybe... 😊 #ttrpg #scifi

#ttrpg and #osr fan, this is clearly aimed at you!

A very first working draft of my digital sandbox experiment. Also please note the penguiny background. #ttrpg #rust #foss

The spark of the unexpected, scheduled for tomorrow. I'll write about emergent game play and why we should love it! Stay tuned at kateplays.substack.com you #ttrpg beautiful folks!

working an a 3-part blog post series on "emergent game play". And having fun! #ttrpg #osr

Advance your play with this bundle! #ttrpg #osr #ose

Very tempting #dune #ttrpg bundle

Shameless #selfpromosunday. Anyway, it's free. 🥳

Very handy repackage of 2025 #ttrpg blog posts. Free.

Free as in beer 🍻

So! As promised, I published a collection of my past #ttrpg posts that appeared on Substack in a very convenient package: PDF and EPUB. Go check it out, it's free anyway!

Enjoy the grand finale of the #ttrpg System series. Systems have a function, and it's very very important!

I've written this one for @prismaticwasteland.com emergency bandwagon conclave edition. It's about guidelines on creating and handling a strange cult adoring unknown technology. For your #ttrpg only!

Toying with the idea of a diceless #ttrpg system with consequences baked into the resolution itself. The aim would be to allow transparency fro the Referee and to let players decide how to pay the (narrative) costs... sounds somewhat interesting!

After some debate I thought that collecting and publishing my Substack articles in ebook format would be a fine idea. Of course it will be free as the articles you can read over at kateplays.substack.com All in #ttrpg context of course. Quarterly too

Whoops... did it again. Accidentally wrote another "no one felt the need of" #ttrpg system. This one, almost ready for publication (free and open source) is about Scenarios, Scenes and Progress.

I wrote a word or two on the topic "why your own systems do matter". And I think we should never give up creating and sharing! #ttrpg

So, it does matter in the end, doesn't it? #ttrpg #system

Never played the videogame, but I feel this can be a good move. I don't know about the system, seems fair enough #ttrpg #homm @modiphius.bsky.social

Heeeeyy, we hit 1M views on our YouTube channel! It’s a milestone or something! Just remember: we’re still criminally under-watched. OSR or Indie RPG curious? Check out one of the most satisfying ways to play elf games! youtube.com/@3d6dtl?si=B...

Second piece I made for Path of Glory adventure campaign of #Dragonbane #RPG 🐉 (#FreeLeague Publishing) 'Dead Forest' - Watercolour and Ink on paper --- #DrakarOchDemoner #cartography #worldmap #fantasymap #mapart #worldbuilding #rpgmap #rpgart #gameart #gamedev

So, it does matter in the end, doesn't it? #ttrpg #system

It doesn't, really... Until it does 🤭

Part 1 (of 3) of a system-related article series. Sparse thoughts about why the #ttrpg system doesn't really matter. Nodding at #nsr? Maybe...

for you techies out there... a little experiment of dungeon generator inside a terminal 😊 #ttrpg #linux #terminal #dungeon

Just saying... Tech is permeating and it is quite important. Learning and understanding it is even more so... @itsfoss.bsky.social #tech #linux

Little update on my new #ttrpg The Resonance Engine and its companion dungeon delve module!

Writing a little dungeon for The Resonance Engine: today's endeavor. #ttrpg #osr #dungeon

The Resonance Engine is now Forever Open Source 2025 #ttrpg #foss itch.io/jam/forever-...

I just crave a solid 5 to 8 hours session of d&d 3.5 RAW. It must be fun. Also I think that we should respect more designers and play more games, if not all, RAW #ttepg #raw #desire

For you #ttrpg folks on the other side of the pond. Enjoy 😊
