send help i'm thinking about locks/picking in medieval fantasy games again

Happy news! I got in contact with someone who had digital versions of the newsletter of Kay Woollard's smial which ran from 84 to 87, which gave me access to some more of her art. She did a series of comic strips about a hobbit child called Wilmot who has a catch phrase "I'VE THUNK"

i wish i was as dedicated to anything as the international governing body of chess is to holding back the game

use my foolproof method

something i'm having a lot of fun with in my gravelhack playtests is using the word "goblin" as a blanket term for malevolent creatures npcs don't know what's causing havok out in the woods! to them, it's a goblin

the group chat brought up how much i hate garden state. 20 years later, my legacy is strong

last night one of my players was like, "it'd be fun to play a game where we weren't allowed to have our character sheets" so not only did i get to give a dnd history lesson, i also got to tell the table about one of my game drafts

Hello friends - My only income is from art/illustration and I didn't get a huge amount of work this month. My financial situation is pretty bleak as a result. If you like the work I make and can spare a small amount to help me make ends meet I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks ko-fi.com/a_queer_wiza...

the more i think about this, the more i like it

classful osr. you have the following: -cleric turn the undead -fighter THAC0 -magic-user spell slots -thief skills when you level up, choose one of those tables to advance. use the saving throws and HD of your highest class start with one advancement. if you pick magic-user, start with spells

this also works great for telegraphing normalcy. when your players create their own rabbit holes/red herrings, don't waste everyone's time because they're certain that random piece of furniture or NPC is important. just tell them!

i've been playtesting gravelhack some more using black wyrm of brandonsford, and to absolutely nobody's surprise it's a really fun module

it finally happened to me (my sister sent me an ai video of our dead mom)

Put links to entire other games in your modules. Why not?

for today's Blog Bandwagon, i wrote about the three most important entries in my own personal Appendix N: the ways my friends and i got creative with structure and structured our creativity in elementary school

oh the nda on skate. was lifted? interesting. anyway, you'll never guess what i've been playing on and off the last couple months

What fuels the light?💡 Here is a list of sources my my own “Appendix L”: icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/09/appe...

For the appendix N blog bandwagon, I talk about smashing together disparate inspirations as a method for coming up with new ideas for your games #osr #ttrpg

Ever wanting to appear Cool, I have jumped on the blog bandwagon and wrote about the early blogs that molded my brain into the Weird Shape it's in today

woke up with this stuck in my head "we danced shoes on shoes / to the sound of the spinning machine / we slept arm-in-arm / so soundly ignoring the outside sounds of the / ongoing horrible scene"

game night ended up getting canceled last week, so trying this again today. got a classic lineup of characters for my players to choose from: -robot with a big sword -frog-dude with a laser rifle -clone of a wizard -psychic cat

well look what wormed its way to my doorstep

oh hell yeah

transfeminine (:

i need to stop playing bullet because it actively makes you worse at longer-timed chess but as sonic the hedgehog once said, "gotta go fast"

just happened again, this time about ringo's drumming

52 hours until game night but only three people can show up this week. guess i'm pulling a playtest of my science-fantasy idea out of some place very uncomfortable (the back of a volkswagen)

📰 NEW MINDSTORM POST! 📰 I've thought a lot about what makes good worldbuilding, and the most consistent throughline seems to come down to one thing: being an absolute sicko about it. Here's a post about it, including some interviews from other designers. www.mindstormpress.com/sicko-worldb...

From the occupied state of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about the design goals of combat! Combat as War? Combat as Sport? More like Combat as My Balls, am I right? magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2025/08/comb...

whenever my players ask how to spell a place/name i always answer, "the traditional way" before spelling it for them. i am lucky they find me endearing

KC and I need a little help while we're looking for work.

i've cracked open a couple of things on the mechanics side of my pre-apocalyptic science fantasy game/setting this week, but nothing that tickles me quite so much as this: there will be no subtraction

if you've ever wondered what it's like to talk to or be around me, just watch this
