New blog post alert; its a sad one talking through the transfeminine kink zeitgeist, the ttrpgs it has inspired, saftey tools, LARP, and the act of becoming in spite of fear. You know, just in case you wanted something light to read over a long weekend. thegardenbelow.blot.im/against-safe...

My blog is now part of @elmc.at's rootr.ing web ring! I am very excited to return to the old ways.

A decidedly unfunny, non-jokey newsletter for April 1st, it's The Explorateur! This month's issue has a landslide of design links including a call for volunteer judges for The Awards. Oh! And there's a non-rpg link all about book cover art rates 👀 www.explorersdesign.com/explorateur-...

Hey for any #TTRPG people in the bay area I am making a webring so people can see what the locals are up to

all you could ever want to know about the phallus traversefantasy.blogspot.com/2026/03/faq-...

⚡ NEW BLOG POST! I'm back talking about adventure design, this time laying out a mental model for 'energy' inside of an adventure. It's a simple and effective way to categorize elements inside of the scenario and look for stagnation and chaos. Check it out! ⚡ www.mindstormpress.com/energy-coin-...

My blog has joined the #rootring ! So glad to be part of this awesome #ttrpg community. I hope this encourages me to get back in the habit of writing regular reviews and posts. Thanks @elmc.at for setting this up! You rock! technicalgrimoire.com

I've been playing GURPS with some folks from Paper Cult for the past couple of months. These are my reflections following the conclusion of our mini-campaign. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/03...

my third article in my ongoing series about the development of seven-part pact is now available! in this article i go into detail about companions, how each wizard is accompanied by four people who ground them and perform labor to make their magic work possumcreek.medium.com/seven-part-p...

I'm officially part of a webring! @elmc.at is bringing back the old internet at rootr.ing, where you can now find my own blog lairoftheduskwitch.bearblog.dev alongside many other TTRPG blogging luminaries. There's tons of cool people there, it's a great way to discover them!

In case you're wondering how rootring finds the links: I use the RSS feed data and check whether links in a post's content point to another blog on the ring So if your feed only includes short summaries and not the full post content, those links usually won't be picked up

Weekly review! Sort of. This one turned more into an argument against our standard format for OSR adventures, as I think the adventure suffers by being unnecessarily turned into a hexcrawl. It’s full of good ideas and flavor, but also flawed. 🤷 blog.catshavenolord.page/tyranny-of-t...

I wrote up a diceless resolution system that uses only your hands! It is useful for RPGs played as you tromp through the woods with your kid. newschoolrevolution.com/diceless-res...

I updated rootring again On the rootr.ing/latest page posts now show when they: - are linked by another blog on the ring - link to another post from a blog on the ring

Earlier today I posted a bit of housekeeping news on my blog: dungeonsandpossums.com/2026/03/the-...

blog.catshavenolord.page is in the rootr.ing now. Thanks so much to @elmc.at for making this happen for all of us blogging weirdos.

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about *Ick* Dragon Magazine has repeatedly subjected me to the sexual fantasies of 70s wargamers, and now I pass that onto you. https://magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/03/dungeons-and-dragons-lost-stat.html?m=1

This came up elsewhere, so i wanted to share one of my favorite examples of "Placeholder versus Final Art" from BREAK!!

A play report on the second session of my AD&D 2e B1 campaign. The party shares the "finest ale in Quasqueton" with a goblin boss, then goes off in search of a sentimental ring. #D&D #AD&D #OSR
