Mixing up how hard/easy your treasure is to carry/sell will give your players better choices in dungeon crawls. Here is that same concept in slightly longer blog form: www.failuretolerated.com/treasure-enc...

#OVER/UNDER obsession got so far, I'm doing a university project about it. If everyone who participated could fill out this really cool questionnaire, it'd be so amazing :)) forms.gle/h5D2motTcDcD...

Sci-fi is when you have Black Tri-Stars and Fantasy is when you have Red Tri-Knights

Really disgusted by @kickstarter.com's recent policy announcements regarding adult content. I have 3 projects on your platform I want to launch this year. Roll this back. Do not comply with the Christo-fascists.

Please, graphic designers, remember to embrace functional layout for your TTRPGs. I just was previewing a book where a descriptive sentence is broken on page one, then we get a statblock, then a rules section, then two more statblocks, then the sentence continues on page three! Augh!

Y'all weren't even at ladderfest

I wrote up some procedures for handling hexcrawls in Cairn. I'm still adding examples to it. cairnrpg.com/resources/he...

Abolish Canon, Embrace Apocrypha means Let people make shit that's weird and different from what came before.

This is a great series!

A new project? Something for fun? Research? Owning Vintage Books Because I Like Objects? This is all of those.

Just watched a Square Enix interview with Hiroyuki Ito about Dungeon Encounters, which includes pearls of game design wisdom such as "I put a value of 12 there because it felt right" and "I can't remember what that's for".

There's only two nominations so far, it's a great opportunity for you to see art of your underrated fav AND support a real human artist instead of AI slop

Big shout out to @andyaiken.bsky.social and Forge Steel. Took me maybe 10 minutes to make a level 9 hero for a DS game in 12 hours. Absolutely sick.

I've been working on a book about the making of FAITH: THE UNHOLY TRINITY, and it covers a lot of ground. We're talking -rotoscope! -the legacy of the Satanic Panic! -cut content! -digging through old grimoires for evil imagery! -ROM hacks! -text-to-speech D&D! -pop cultural depictions of demons!

there we go

Some of the first Hodag art I saw. Still rules.

"Dude, I'm encumbered!" is my favorite 2000s stoner dungeon crawler.
