Merry Christmas Eve, you filthy animals. I've been BULLIED (/j) into participating in @prismaticwasteland.com's Rankin-Bass Hex crawl project, featuring Investment Opportunities!! Static Site: farmergadda.neocities.org/posts/jaw-br... Blogger Backup: farmergadda.blogspot.com/2025/12/jaw-...

I hopped on another @prismaticwasteland.com Blogwagon as my (likely) final #TTRPG blog post for 2025 🎲 Enjoy Polar Pines; home to a whimsical NPC I think you'll love to use for Hexmas, or any other family-friendly #OSR adventure you may want to run this holiday season 🎄

A rather silly hex for the Rankin Bass hexcrawl project. bommyknocker.bearblog.dev/barnyard-vol... Merry Christmas to those who want one! #osr #blog

For my contribution to the Merry Hexmas blog bandwagon, I made a mini sandbox: the Jinglebell Barrens, a land which lives in the shadow of a lost city which forgot the meaning of Hexmas. Will the adventurers restore warmth & cheer to its streets, or simply plunder everything not nailed down? #osr

Jumping on the Blog Bandwagon: The House of Kringle - the Least Homely House - has the last remains of a clan of svartalfar who practice the forbidden art of toy making. Deliver their foul toys and learn their eldritch secrets.

You still have plenty of time to write a hex (or two) for Hexmas 2025! The map of current entries so far is below and here is a link with all you need to know about the prompt #osr #ttrpg www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/blogwag...

Sure, you know about Vancian Magic, but what about Jackian Magic? (Someone please finish this design.) www.explorersdesign.com/jackian-magic/

Turn your poison into passion ~ I may be sick this Holiday week, but it's only emboldened me to add to the Hexmas Hex Crawl that most classic fantasy trope: The Poison Swamp www.failforward.moe/2025/12/pois...

I struggled for a really long time to decide what the first Solar Cataphracts game blog post was gonna be. I needed something in depth enough that it couldn't just be a discord message. How about a four thousand word breakdown of #Over/Under 's economics? open.substack.com/pub/tangentj...

In The Hobbit, Tolkien mentioned "giants" in an off-handed way. Some have said their inclusion is non-canonical. But it's clear to me etymologically that trolls and giants are of the same kind. Tolkien borrowed the word "Ent" from the Old English word for giant (cognate with Eoten/Jotun from Norse).

My friend Habeeb made a blogpost a few days ago titled "the default dungeon is colonial", which prompted me to finally finish this blogpost. "Anti-colonial Dungeon" I guess I should finish my Anti-colonial OSR Tabletop RPG adventure/setting/game. afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/anticolonial...

A good good read and a great idea

Continuing the series, here's some illness and poisoning rules. behindthehelm.bearblog.dev/illness-pois... #osr

I am once against digging into AD&D. The question: Who can build a stronghold? Different classes can build different strongholds at different levels, but demihuman characters are limited to certain levels as certain classes. Who can attain a high enough level to build a stronghold in this world?

On the 17th day of Critique Navidad, my true love gave to me a game about cosy zookeepers and their quarry. It’s Cryptid Keeper! idlecartulary.com/2025/12/17/c...

The entrance to a dungeon (or a new level) should evoke trepidation and demand a tangible commitment to peril. #osr

99% of rpg zines and books should have page numbers. And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc. Let me know what you think! www.explorersdesign.com/designing-si...

Back at it with @prismaticwasteland.com's look at the implied setting of D&D through the lens of language. What does the existence of 'Common' actually imply? www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/the-lan... 🧵8/9

@prismaticwasteland.com offers a novel method for slot-based languages. IMO quantum language is 👌 but the memory system sets meaningful limits, I've had a dwarf PC who ended up speaking a huge 16+ dialects including Western Lowland Gorilla and Martian 🧵4/8 www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/schrdin...
