Prep Arden Vul <=====> Design a game to run Arden Vul #osr #ttrpg #dnd

Decided to treat myself for my birthday and get the Halls of Arden Vul megadungeon with the Bundle of Holdings and in print. Now my players are saying I don’t have a choice but to run it. #osr #ttrpg #d&d

Woah Mistborn will be adapted on Apple TV. I might need to read the thing.

Oops, I started a new project: Skyreader, an RSS reader on the AT Protocol. Share cool articles like it's 2010 and Google Reader would never die. skyreader.app www.disnetdev.com/blog/2026-01...

[Mr Nadella] noted that a “telltale sign of if it’s a bubble” would be if only tech groups were benefiting from the rise of AI, rather than companies in other sectors. Imagine telling someone standing outside soaking wet that a telltale sign of rain would be if water was falling from the sky...

“I have an idea for a website…”

Post your favourite Star Trek character(s). Wrong answer only.

Can we start having DMs comment like lawyers on the internet? "Hi, DM here (not your DM, this is not DMing advice) [...]"

Kind of wild that on a Monday I was let go, on Wednesday a recruiter reached out and before I had time to figure out what to do with my spare time I got a job offer. And it’s a promotion too. I feel very lucky to say the least.

Dolmenwood by Exalted Funeral made to Canada 🇨🇦

After basically 20 years Steve Jackson Games is reportedly working on a GURPS 4th Edition Revised with major changes. In this economy anyone who’s been around for this long doing this is amazing. Not a GURPS man myself but SJG are OG

So I love Obsidian and don’t mind paying for the sync feature but editing a table on mobile to then go on my PC and the rows have duplicated a few times is not great. I’d rather not go back to Notion if I can avoid it

After 7 sessions of OSE with my group, a full TPK and a partial one I had a good conversation with the players. I came out as poly-game-ist and asked if they would be willing to see other systems every now and then. Everyone agreed AND we'll be rotating GM. What a freaking dream group.

So I was just laid off. Let’s just say software engineering roles right now are a bit scary.

If we could skip to the part of the Microscope game where we add a light period that would be great.

I just backed DURF Expanded project on Kickstarter and I hope people check it out. I’m not super familiar with DURF but I know it’s a darling of the OSR community. I’m also a sucker for cool hardcovers. www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...

"We're definitely in a bubble" confirms CEO of soap manufacturing company

Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 in Kickstarter right now but oof. The physical tiers comes with a GM screen (eh) but PDF is €30 extra. The tier that includes it is more expensive by another €10 because it comes with the PDF for the GM screen. For that money you can get a lot of good indie games and zines.

Hell froze and Wizards of the Coast released a new game. ttrpg.store.exodusgame.com

Just walked out of an antique store and they had stuff younger than me…

C’mon German speakers do your thing.

If you are a SaaS and your documentation is not up to date and critical features/implementation details are missing and that's what your team is relying on to help your customers...you're a bad SaaS company. Signed, me who's been struggling with a SaaS for some time now

I really like the Glass Cannon Network so them announcing their flagship show will be a Tephrotic Nightmares campaign using Shadowdark just makes my heart sing.

Save vs. Pronouns, the forgotten OD&D saving throw.

Books Without Number

A while back I turned on analytics on osr.camp and just forgot about it. After pushing an accessibility update I decided to look and turns out even with only Principia Apocrypha available in HTML there I'm getting some traffic! I want to get back into blogging and reviewing games so stay tuned?

Humble Bundle has a TTRPG MEGABUNDLE filled with the core rulebooks for Call of Cthulhu, Vaesen, Outgunned, Savage Worlds and so much more. 57 books for $40. Honestly, a steal and a good way to see some new games www.humblebundle.com/books/roll-b... @humblebundle.com

Finally beginning a megadungeon game with OSE and I’m totally stealing death and dismemberment from Swyver.

Surprising nobody. When I was a public servant I heard of Company A reaching the max money for their contract so the way around it was to contract Company B and they would subcontract to Company A (and take a cut). All of this to go around the rules. Canada needs to invest in IT, not McKinsey

I know full well these are my generation's carpet in the bathroom but it didn't stop me from buying some something I'm working on.

So far reading Daggerheart is really interesting. I think a lot of people new to PbtA games will find it difficult at first to wrap their head around combat with no initiative. It requires a bit more work on the GM to learn and balance the spotlight.

I caved and got Daggerheart and I have a hot take…it’s Powered by the Apocalypse.

A new Dragonbane book was just announced by Free League, let's gooooo

Me telling everyone I know to vote today

Was not expecting that headline after my thread about Discord being a bad product fit

Disclosure: my full time job is working on a community product I love Discord, but if you are considering it for your community and your end users would potentially be able to collaborate, support each other, for the love of everything...don't use Discord. A thread 🧵1/7 #Discord #WebDevelopment

A while ago we left the mall and in the parking lot someone was loading their car with giant boxes from the Lego store and an employee was helping them. I still think about how much do you need to spend at Lego to get these huge boxes and for an employee to help you.

Is there a loyalty program for unprecedented times? Like after your 10th, you get a house or something?

They say in wartime, innovation is inevitable. Well with the trade war going, we’ve outdone ourselves 🇨🇦.

I was not expecting this. Free League announced an Invincible Superhero RPG. On Kickstarter this year.

Surely this new video won't make me seem like a crank. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEJp...

Got a few new followers in the last week or so. Hi! Nice to connect with more people here. I'm an every day user even if I don't post a lot.

I really hate winter now. Had to shovel twice and it’s still snowing and not really over.

Being ADHD is wanting to create a megadungeon, my own very crunchy TTRPG and my own VTT because reading Arden Vul is too much work...

Good on the ENNIE for listening. Doesn’t change the fact that we need to be vigilant about AI slop trying to legitimize itself in every industry. www.rascal.news/ennie-awards...

Some days I'm really envious of those webdev influencers who seem to be all about the latest stuff. Like "ohh look at this new framework I might use it for my next little project". On the enterprise side of thing I have to contact 3rd party services to talk about SOC2 compliance and amending terms.

I guess 2024 was the year I decided to pay for some news. Recently subbed to @rascalnews.bsky.social and now @theverge.com. I'm not a fan of the "thousand cut" subscription model but at least it's not Adobe.

Pulled the trigger and finally got The Making of Dungeons & Dragons. Beautiful book that’s also a two-handed weapon. #TTRPG

Free League Publishing just announced they are partnering with Two Little Mouse for Outgunned, joining the ranks of MÖRK BORG and other externally developed games under our Free League Workshop sub-label. freeleaguepublishing.com/shop/outgunn...
