Just tried to say what I liked about an enchilada was the specific cheese n beans, but apparently I was still so excited about tasty enchilada that I said "I LiKe cHeEnS n BeEmS." Wife is not letting me live down cheens n beems.

What do you do when players need to miss a session? How do you explain that while they're gone or once they return? Now, you can do so with some interest, explanation, plot hook, and flair! Snag "Meaningful missing sessions" via DM's Guild: www.dmsguild.com/en/... Or Itch: monkeyslunch.itch.io...

My half-sister's other brother died from hanta virus a few years ago. He was an electrician who got into a tight space that had infected deer mouse droppings in it. For all the folks saying to own the libs they should roll in rat droppings, I strongly encourage this.

Iconography and imagery are great. It can help reinforce concepts. But... • Not all icons are ubiquitous • Even if folks do understand the icon, folks using assistive technology like screen readers need something to fall back on 1/2

In Bug & Claw's 39th devlog, I create a list of 100 adjectives to describe the appearance of your character. What's your favourite adjective?

My players and I love flavour in our games. Find a dusty old flask in a ransacked laboratory? Finish off the mug left on the wizard’s bedside table? Use the Alchemist's Mistake for some 5D20 potion rolling! 2-page PDF with flavour and effects! Grab it on the DM's Guild! www.dmsguild.com/en/...

Out of Bluesky jail once more. To comply with Bluesky ToS and the mod team’s wishes, I have to state that I hope Trump lives to be 1000 years old, and that his white supremacist project is fully realized- glory be to our lord and savior DJT!

Yep.

Crystals grow on their own, scattered across the landscape. What they might turn into or how they’ll affect their surroundings is sometimes anyone’s guess. For the most part, they are seen as protective, lucky, and good omens. 1/2

Most RPG equipment tables are combinations a designer got bored of enumerating before finishing. Modular tags admit the truth: a sword is just a sword until you staple properties to it. Define the properties. Let the table write itself. One of my favourite mechanics:

Trying to get a job in 2026 is wild. - 50% of the roles I apply for reply in a couple days saying they're no longer pursuing the role, take it down. - 50% of the remainder say I'm overqualified. - Yesterday, interviewed by AI bot that crashed half through. 1/3

I’ve done so many things that people told me I couldn’t do, but the thing is that I let those few naysayers get to me enough that I dragged my feet starting out and faced years of doubt and now regret. I don’t want that to happen to other folks. I want to enable you. 1/2

Overheard at a diner, two bros explaining how they were TAUGHT by their boss: A person is like Waymo, following rules, laws, process, and procedure. It's slow. AI is like Uber, the guy's gonna get you there as fast as possible and doesn't care. This should freak people out. Bros broing.

buh-buh-buh-BEASTS!!!!

Thank Zenithar it's Fredas

I LOVE making random lists of flavour content for #ttrpgs. Bug & Claw is no exception. I foresee many more of these on their way. 1/2

Keep getting turned down for roles because they say I am overqualified. I am trying to take that as a compliment, but it just seems ridiculous to me.

When creating Grim Accoutrements I had a lot of fun with the artwork in particular. I was having drawing tablet issues and did most of the art with just my trackpad. Honestly, it helped loosen me up! 1/2

The Backbone SRD for creating bookmark games has only been released for a couple of days, and already I've received so much meaningful feedback! Thank you! And I gobble up feedback. V1.02 is here...

🐹♻️🐷 One of my favourite parts of #worldbuilding is creating ecosystems of creatures that I can see intermingling with one another. 1/2

If some of the way XP is awarded is randomized between adventures and milestones, players will be free to act more like they want instead of in a singular, pushed direction like combat. Something I definitely want in a #ttrpg, which is why I wanted to try it... 1/2

I think my cold / sinus infection is improving!! *Promptly falls asleep for.four hours* where did the day go?

Thankful to my friends for helping play-test #ttrpg Bug & Claw. I share some of the feedback I collected in #Devlog 47 that helped shape the game.

What the absolute hell is this mess

😂 apporpriate.

Until they stop doing this, it is always ethical to bully the New York Times. A moral imperative, one might say.

💧Water was soaked through everything. The very walls seeped to the touch. Mattresses were piled up, soaking in knee-deep water... 🌊 1/2

Fred stared out over Silkhold, observing the pink hue of silk that helped hold many of the buildings together, coalescing brighter towards the center of town. 1/2

Coolest cold-addled dream last night. The world was entering a new ice age due to a technological mishap, causing waves of cold to sweep across the globe. My wife, several friends, and strangers were rushing to get to a safe space, which was a ski chalet carved deep into the side of a mountain.

The amount of times I have had to explain this to friends upset about things they see on social media. Like, you know you don't have to follow those accounts, subscribe to those subreddits, or quite literally even use that social media service, right?

The emergence and history of Bug-kin, Devlog 52 for #ttrpg Bug & Claw, explores Pre-Fall and After-Fall society, and key historic events.

Starting a game design document doesn't need to be overly complex. Begin with a few of the key parts that flow, like: • Story • World • General play structure 1/2

It blows my mind that the USA is dealing with totalitarian fascism, as folks like Brendan Carr try to make everyone bend the knee and lick the boot. What's more, is it's spreading to Canada and elsewhere. My province is turning into mini bootlicker hell.

🦠 💎 Infection and resonance are two concepts that effect most things in #ttrpg Bug & Claw. The first thing you do when creating a character is roll to determine your starting infection and resonance values. This will effect everything else.

My sinus infection turned into the worst man-cold, and I'm not sure if I'll make it

Artists, QRP with your favourite portrait you've drawn/painted! I couldn't find the painting I wanted to share so here's a samurai sketch

🧠✌🏼📘🏝️ Alone In Wellness is a trio of solo journalling games utilizing Takuma Okada's Alone system. 1/5

This was a way more PG thread than I expected. Even considering it's from an official account.

this whole thread is so cool, but these two are super neat to me
