here you can read about a big illustration project for @falsemachine.bsky.social that I hope to start working on next year! ps the snail knights stories are so, so good, wildly veering around serious and funny and heartbreaking #ttrpg #osr #booksky pjamesstuart.substack.com/p/the-future...

This is very exciting. Patrick's Snail Knight stories are some of my favourite writing he's done. Patrick's shared the first three stories again, all worth reading. For reals

If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.

Oh hey Carcass Crawler 6 is out! I wrote a bunch of stuff in here including a mini puzzle-dungeon called "The Tavern of Elemental Evil." Multiple play test groups called it "Pokemon-like." Cover art by @jacobfleming.bsky.social. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

So here's my micro-transaction/subscription/streaming fatigue request: Take my patreon, itch, dtrpg, kickstarter subs/follows/feeds. Give me a fixed bill like an old cable TV bundle. Curate and swap in/out some new creators to help with discovery. Charge me an admin fee. Thx xoxo.

Yesssss!!!! Two of my absolute favorite creators.

I hate how perfect bound books and adventures can't be scanned on a standard bookshelf. Makes it harder to find the one you want and makes the bookself look messy. So I make these boxed sets for my loose RPG stuff. Each holds 3 inches of 8.5x11 books (I make the labels myself).

Four years ago today I got this photo from Travis Peacock of a full miniature-scale print of the Ochrenvault dungeon. The original map (on the right) was drawn at a scale of 1 square = 10 feet and was designed to be drawn on a standard interior door at 2 squares per inch.

The first John Wick uses a great storytelling tool: “I gave him an impossible task...the bodies he buried that night are the foundation of what we are now." You don't have to tell me what that is. It's better left unsaid. Do this while running games.

Mortifying and completely preventable. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...
