Today, I'm expanding on Call of Cthulhu inspired OSR play with investigation-as-exploration. Wish I went into more depth on my previous post? Wish no longer! atmosphericunderworld.com/investigatio...

I wrote about developing dungeons for sandbox play, whether you're stealing from existing source material or making something of your own. Not as comprehensive as the thousands of bits of advice on the topic throughout recorded history, but hopefully a good place for someone to start. #D&D #OSR

Did you know that Electric Bastionland had a 1st party adventure released for it? It did, and it's excellent (and short). Here is my review (also short, but is it excellent? I leave that to a future metareview) #osr #ttrpg

I've just published the first essay in the design series for Violent Delights: a chess-based RPG about Romeo and Juliet. It's about abstract board games and how we read into them. It also touches on Takuma Okada's Chess: Two Kingdoms.

The Ashen Empress is a character I've been toying with putting into more than one project for the last decade, she is close to my heart. Something within me just likes a cool, kind of evil immortal queen.

I wrote an essay about production value in rpgs, which is also a six-month retrospective on SPINE. Often, high production value is good, but when is low-production value better? Bonus: I share lots of pretty photos by players of SPINE, who decorated and bound their own books.

However, worry not they are not gone but they are going to live in a companion post from now. This one doesn't arrive in your mailbox. elmc.at/cat-scraps-a...
