I feel like the character designer behind Franklin has strong opinions about the difference between Scalies and Furries

I have the urge to rewrite Hammer & Nail implementing some ideas I used in Inventory Monsters… I just feel like the system can be more streamlined

“The homeless keep urinating and defecating wherever they want outside my office” Well, how many public restrooms are there downtown? “None. Because they would just use them to shoot up drugs” I mean, they are probably doing heroin because it’s more accessible than a doctors visit or Rx meds

While we are on the topic of Goblins, here’s my pitch to use Bears instead

I just realized the answer to my question is in Cairn 2e’s Warden Guide… I’m happy for the conversation that came from this post, so no regrets

#Cairn If I wanted to write a fungi monster that deals WIL or DEX damage, should the attacks be: A) WIL or DEX Saves that skip HP? B) Normal STR damage attacks with a special critical damage effect that also does WIL or DEX damage? C) Normal attacks that specify WIL or DEX damage?

Hey with this whole Tylenol thing, keep an eye out for politicians and pastors quoting Genesis 3:16 This feels like a soft-launch for something bigger

In the context of writing a ttrpg, are “Ethos” and “Principles” synonyms?

that feeling when you confidently state an incorrect animal fact (by accident), then stop listening to the conversation because you’re waiting for an opening to correct yourself

Have you heard of the role playing game Mausritter? It’s like DnD but a bit simpler and you play as little mice on epic adventures. The game uses little tokens for inventory items. My Backerkit project is called “Tails and Trinkets” and I am drawing dozens of new items and weapons for folks to use.

So I know the American folklore of John Henry is based on a real person. My question is who were the ones spreading this tall tale? I feel like a story of a superhuman black guy working himself to death has wildly different context if it was popular among black communities vs white communities

I added a printer-friendly “Prep Sheet” as a free demo Rather than assigning “Rock, Paper, or Scissors” at each landmark and having to do the calculations every time a player chooses a direction—I went ahead and did that for you! #FogOfSpore #OnegeonJam #TTRPG #DungeonPuzzle

The fifth annual DURF JAM will start on October 10th and run for a full month! Join us in creating some fun adventures for the free DURF RPG! itch.io/jam/durf-jam...

Morrowind’s “you have a CIA handler who is also a drug addict” setup is the greatest starting hook for a sandbox RPG ever made. “Idk bro, just kinda… get out there and destabilize the region. I might have something for you when you’re level six. If I remember... woah. You ever look at your hand?”

I’m learning procreate mostly through trial and error, so this may already be common knowledge—but I discovered that when making a cover image for an itch project, copying/pasting layers from the original produces a horrible quality Instead, I now just zoom in and screenshot. Then insert the photo

Give your players a break and send them through this non-lethal puzzle room The first 100 copies are free! #FogOfSpore #OnegeonJam #TTRPG

Here’s a sneak peak of my next #OnegeonJam submission I’m pretty confident I’m done with the project, I just want to sit on it for a day to make sure I’m not missing any typos like I did with my first submission

For a long time, I’ve been trying to work out a Pokemon TTRPG that doesn’t require managing multiple character sheets (check out #InventoryMonsters on itch) but I never considered just “Ben10-ing a Ditto as the PC” until I saw the Pokopia trailer ✅ befriend Pokemon ✅ copy their moves ✅ max 10 moves

Is this the blueberry-dark sea Homer wrote about?

bananas that this was one of my most popular tweets

It’s a power fantasy, except the main character is fundamentally kind—and the world he’s operating in is, at worst, inconvenient to the working class I love it #HereticalFishing #cozyfiction

Giving this book a try 🎧

Been thinking about this working class horror game a lot lately Hear me out: Zelda style dungeon puzzle that’s centered on finding all of the Lockout-Tagout keys so you can use an important machine

Typographic terminology by Nate Piekos of @blambot.bsky.social. It's nice knowing what to call these things. #typography #graphicdesign

I love having a job that is just boring enough to spark creativity Came up with a trial-and-error style puzzle room this morning and have been workshopping it in my head all day Hoping to get it to paper here soon!

Beta version of my sci-fi horror Cairn hack is up on my blog now if anyone wants to check it out. Still needs work, but my first playtest last week went well and I feel good about what I’ll be able to do with this over time. #TTRPG #OSR blog.catshavenolord.page/lucky-star-v...

I'm really obsessed with dead leaves and tiny spindly fungi at the moment #art

My submission for the #OnegeonJam inspired by my fear of spelunking and this one video I saw of a diver being attacked by an octopus

5e has trained a generation of gamers into believing all TTRPGs need house rules to function.

one of the worst uses of AI I’ve seen was a Where’s Waldo search and find someone on TikTok generated to pitch their WW movie idea like, that IP specifically is all about taking a magnifying glass to look at all of the details—and I could not focus on what he was saying because the image was so bad

So I know “Choose Your Own Adventure” is trademarked or whatever, but I need more suggestions of this style of book I found this book at my local library and my oldest has been reading themselves to sleep every night with it. I’m trying to convince the library to buy more books like this

7yo at my work: *Reaches out and grabs the air infront of me* “Ope! I got your soul… Now you’re not allowed in Heaven” Me: *Desperately trying not to laugh*

I saw both of these in 2020 and think about them often: ANIARA uses a luxury space cruise being knocked off course as a really effective allegory for the feeling of helplessness under climate change AVENUE 5 uses a luxury space cruise being knocked off course as the setting for a workplace comedy

found this on FB, but I really like the graphic design on LEGO maps. These are apparently from six different sets that make up a neat point crawl

I think why I love Mausritter as a setting is because it can seamlessly go from a classic medieval fantasy dungeon crawler that uses giant bugs as monsters, to a post apocalypse overworld junk collector

If I hosted a Mighty Max Jam on itch.io in November, would there be interest? Basically copying the idea of the LEGO Jam. Take an old Mighty Max set and make a dungeon inspired by it using any system. #OSR #TTRPG #Zine #NSR

I think I’m going to use this weird little guy in a Onegeon Jam submission… “fish-headed biclops” is a bit of a mouthful. Any recommendations on what I should rename this monster?

About once a week I forget that Bluesky has different feeds, accidentally swipe sideways onto one, and wonder who all these people are. I've been using this app since it was invite only.

I just saw an ad for candy corn… this feels like the FEMA Waffle House Index but for the economy

“Your clothes are made of plastic” and “Your clothes are made of plants” are somehow both equally disturbing statements to me Leather being animal skin doesn’t break my brain, but the idea that my pants were grown in a field and my shirt was melted into fibers—that wigs me out
