I've started work on my revision for my Adventures in the Unknown #TTRPG. The first thing I did was to reorganize some of the sections of the game. For some reason I put the section on the game's mechanics in the middle of setting material and GM stuff, and I don't why but it has bugged me since.

Heya friends, I've been a little more silent than I should but exciting news from the neurodivergent void, I am running a new game for this year's convention season. First up, MEPACON April 17-19, Bethlehem, PA tabletop.events/conventions/...

Hey, I need two players for my D&D 5e campaign of Jungle Dragonborn. startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Sunday 12/7 Noon EST Burning Wheel on TWITCH My first live stream ever Not my first BW game. www.twitch.tv/modernmythol...

Inquire within…

My current commission numbers? I guess?? I hate money, but am literally dying on the vine right now, haha. These are subject to change as I get back into the swing of things but for now if you are interested, these are probably the starting point, with wiggle room available for details. ♥

I absolutely ate up doing the homework for this one. And as it turns out, I'm really digging the homework for this week's recording, too.

License to Kill is a new column from @newmadras.bsky.social diving into the whys and wherefores of licensed tabletop RPGs. In the first entry, he sets some ground rules and discusses Godzilla.

You can download the beta campaign frame for Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart FOR FREE, without needing to become a backer (though I hope you will consider backing the project!) www.kickstarter.com/projects/dun...

A new Quantum Ogre has hit the dungeon. Ft Luke Crane of @burningwheel youtu.be/JhU2nvcjtro #burningwheel #ttrpg #torchbearer #mouseguard #dnd

Patchwork Paladin has some excellent, concise advice for ways of spending excess Fear in Daggerheart.

ICYMI, last week's stream discussed developing an idea for an adventure from a campaign frame or just your worldbuilding. Most of the advice I give works for a variety of games and not just Daggerheart. youtu.be/59LyaS-xafI

If you’re interested in game design at all I’d urge you to check out this series… www.modernmythology.net/articles/tag...

We are starting an online Trinity Aeon campaign. Here is a bit of a primer and the hi-lights of the system as part of our Science Fiction Actual Play series. www.modernmythology.net/podcast/epis...

Some top notch games in there! Well worth $40!! www.humblebundle.com/books/roll-b...

Oh wow. They’re doing a Running Man remake. youtu.be/9fqusNzkmzs?...

Congratz on a fully funded KS!!! So looking forward to Echoes!! www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

Griot Anthology is a collection of seven small TTRPGs from black designers with illustrations from black artists. The games cover a wide range of topics and styles. It's a labor of love that we'd love y'all to check out: thoughtcrimegames.itch.io/griot-anthol...

Publishing a game involves playtesting, and if you're lucky, you wont be running those tests yourself. To usher in the campaign preview for my game The Girls of the Genziana Hotel, I wrote a little bit about how player feedback helped shape the game I hope to crowdfund later this year:

Interviewing talented game designers is one of our favorite parts of this adventure… www.modernmythology.net/podcast/epis...

Really excited to sit down with the folks from @stillfleet.bsky.social and chat TTRPG, politics, disability and Echoes of the Veil. I was drawn to them because, like us, they design TTRPGs from a Leftist perspective. Check out their latest KS! www.kickstarter.com/projects/wyt...

Can’t wait to run this! #RevolutionIsLive

If you missed this yesterday! 😊

Before I actually crack open Daggerheart, I want to talk about a very important related topic: THE BOX. Because I had not been paying attention, it was only when I walked into Games & Stuff that I realized that the hardcover book came bundled with a box. I was very curious about this.

Holy crap. I hadn't clocked this yet, but apparently the blank Daggerheart maps can all be connected if you are so inclined. The little things in this game continue to astound and impress. h/t to r/daggerheart on reddit.

I’ve read Russian novels shorter than this goddamn email

Seriously, FUCK Boundless. Writers, do not publish with them. Agents, do not submit to them. Bookstores, do not carry their books. Any company that thinks torching this many authors will result in being able to “continue publishing and rebuild trust” is delusional and deserves to die.

Unbound/Boundless owes me $15k+ on a book that in its first royalty reporting cycle had sold around 3k copies of its 5k copy print run of which I have not seen a single penny. They also haven’t even reimbursed me for postage costs I incurred mailing out the arcs in the US at their request

If you are curious about GMing Daggerheart but haven't taken the plunge, make sure to watch the excellent Get Your Sheet Together video on GMing (linked below) www.youtube.com/watch?v=IjdZ...

Tomorrow at 3pm EDT I'm going to talk in more depth about GMing Daggerheart, based on my experience as one of the game's designers as well as being a pro GM and an actual play producer/GM. twitch.tv/turbotango

I don't think I've ever shared this one before- It was a bit of a study, featuring Yxala's hand holding her (assumed dead) partner's necklace. That DnD drama hits so nice~ #dnd #dndart #dungeonsanddragons #art

I think this is a really good episode. Let us know what you think? It says “wrap-up” but we touch on some really fundamental ideas in driving games forward. Which was your favorite game in our horror series and why? www.modernmythology.net/podcast/epis...

Welp! Seems I may be adding Daggerheart to the games I run. A 8 episode campaign is in the horizon. youtu.be/-352fSllwHA?...

Who has print ready, zine-sized (20-70 pages) games they want to see printed? Plus One Exp and Zine Club are looking for games that are ready for print for us to keep in the pocket for Zine Club releases and to sell at Conventions like #GenCon, #PAXUnplugged, and more! If interested send a DM!

Have you ever experienced a Player Character death? ...better yet, have you ever caused one? 💀 In today's video, I push myself to stop being so soft on my players and actually start racking up a (fictional) body count. youtu.be/oXthRvtPPO0
