Early 2026 will see the full release of DANGER CLOSE!

@dicegoblin.blog An incredibly useful backbone for diverse random encounter prep. The naturalistic NSR equivalent of the NPC combat roles in games like Fabula, Draw Steel, and Lancer. dicegoblin.blog/just-use-bea...

I was looking for a way to, occasionally, zoom in on individual duels/clashes/fights in DANGER CLOSE, so I expanded upon @lukegearing.bsky.social's Violence. a bit: dicegoblin.blog/wasteland-wa...

I think one of the greatest joys of making fantasy TTRPG content is really pretending to be a wizard. Looking over my tomes, my notes, my scribblings. I just wrote the sentence "Each hex is a flux" and I feel like I've ascended.

Dispatch is really fun. I really missed telltale games, and the production values and writing here is... Remarkably better than it was in the telltale days?

It sounds stupid cheesey but I genuinely do believe in keeping the spirit of Christmas in your heart all year long. We call it by other names, but kindness and generosity in the face of a cold and harsh world is so important.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, but slumbers eternal until the stars are right.

It's been 3 years since the Block, Dodge, Parry project started - and to celebrate, I present: the first BDP Zine! dicegoblingames.itch.io/steel-surviv...

i had to drop what i was doing to make this

I often feel that "default D&D" is American Frontier dynamics with Renaissance technology in a medieval theme-park sauce.

Amazing series of supplements by Matt Kelly! itch.io/c/5920949/do...

I said to my partner that, before we watch season 2 of Fallout, I'd like 15 minutes of rambling-and-ranting time about how much I love Fallout: New Vegas. Even trying to somewhat summarize as to what I want to talk about and in which order has me ridiculously excited. That game has my soul, man.

This December, I wanted to give back to the TTRPG community, so I reached out to a few creators I admire and offered to translate their games into my native language, Brazilian Portuguese. And guess what? The first two games are already available for download on my Ko-Fi, and they're 100% free!

Trying not to think about LEGO Castle Fright Knights (1997)

I love this kind of framework thinking! murkdice.substack.com/p/the-only-1...

I just backed Arathi Sector on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/cas...

SODAZ uploaded the full video for his Operation: Sunburst fan animation. It's pretty amazing if you're into Fallout: New Vegas LORE (and even if you aren't). youtu.be/Z0wL6DXIvoc?...

I somehow missed this one (and boy, do I love powderkegs). This one pairs great with my New Vegas post, I think!

Given that my name is Lars, I might just start signing projects as Block Dodge Larry

One of life's little joys is having a fresh TTRPG newsletter in my inbox, scrolling through it, and then (to my surprise) seeing my blog linked.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The V 1.0 of my character tracker/journal keeper/gameplay aid for DANGER CLOSE is... live! opcon.dicegoblin.blog (Doesn't really work on mobile though)

Can't escape doing something for Block Friday! itch.io/s/170726/blo...

Today's random Windows background is definitely a hills hex.

I feel like @linkskywalker.bsky.social's Flux Space concept deserves just as much praise as the Overloaded Encounter Die - so I blogged about it, again. dicegoblin.blog/youve-met-me...

I made a dungeon (and it's free, and system-agnostic)!

Block, Dodge, Parry sorta has this, but in a vibes kinda way, not a "let's literally tally slain foes" one. blockdodgeparry.com/character-im...

Some time ago, I blogged about 'why the fuck are we still reading rpg pdfs on our big monitors'; a post which mainly called for fresh, digital native formats of presenting TTRPGs. And... I built a prototype! dicegoblin.blog/prototype-pr...

To help teach Boundless to more and make it even more accessible, I'm working on making the website interactive. I want every mechanic to have a "button" that lets you interact with it. See how to set your Attributes at character creation? Imagine a button that does it for you and explains it.

Yessss that's what I'm talking about! dicegoblin.blog/prototype-pr...

Lesser Eye Stalker Creature illustrated for my homebrew dnd campaign.

That would make every rpg's campaign an egregore wouldn't it?

I just learned that my go-to trope for clerics/paladins/faith in fantasy TTRPGs has a name: egregore

Wake up honey, new free dungeon just dropped! "Twenty feet of ancient elven stonework jut from the frozen hillside, its carved faces clawed away by beast-men. Inside, something ancient is waking up, fed by every drop of blood spilled in its halls." dicegoblingames.itch.io/howling-hall...

I am running a session for players who are new to #OSR games, and TTRPGs in general. I recorded a brief primer - and figured it might be useful to others, as well! youtu.be/x_UH7fKFfXw
