⚡ 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-...

I made a blogpost about this. Indonesian Tabletop RPG scene and The Quest for Generic "Authentic" Slop. The Indonesian Tabletop RPG scene has a Gen AI problem! afraidofencounters.bearblog.dev/afraid-of-co...

Just playtested KerisianKult’s upcoming negadungeon for @morkborg.com! I played a naked esoteric hermit with an iron mask welded on his face, and many carved grooves running down his body. In the end, BBEG fused with him after turning the rest of the party into zombies…

To get worthy movies out of Heretics and Chapterhouse, you would genuinely need a director who has very nearly overdosed on LSD several times and absolutely ADORES Barbarella, I'm just saying.

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Shin Chainsaw Man is crazy good

My local Tabletop RPG scene is not alright. I believe a lot of people here are creative and have the potential to be creative. But the widespread use of Generative AI for monetary gain, especially by KOL and influencers (actual plays, content creators, paid GMs) in this hobby makes me sick. (1/5)

It's done. 10k words covering everything I know about how to make RPGs, from your first idea to getting the book on the shelf. It's not perfect but I hope it helps someone. brackish-draught.bearblog.dev/everything-i...

been thinking about save-based games virtually all of them just give you normal stats but treating them as saving throws it seems kinda off, having your character to save vs strength instead of save vs poison

so we finally have the 1st rpg discourse from indonesia lol

Our #otome MC: Capable and reliable ✅ Also clumsy and panicky at times ✅ She isn’t used to being young again after isekai, and also being a youkai way stronger than a human! 🐺 Luckily, the LI is there to catch her when she falls 💖

>we're gonna enter the room and close the door, barricade it with whatever we can find inside sure uh so you see a stuffy musky room, taxidermied heads of... >the monster is chasing us! we just wanna enter, close, then barricade! what can we use to barricade? oh um the taxidermied heads... (1/?)

got a sudden burst of inspiration and just wrote a Backdrop for Dialect, wow

got a sudden urge to make a pve extraction tabletop rpg...

in my upcoming horror rpg PAIN you don't choose classes/occupations that determine your character's abilities, instead you choose how your character breaks down in an overwhelming stress (when 1 of your 2 defense stats reaches 0)

Hey all, it is the second semester of my 3rd year in college and I need to beg for money again. My mother got a part-time teaching job, but it's still not a lot. Any amount would help me a lot! ko-fi.com/goobernuts/g...

The Best Debut Blog category is brutal 💀 What do you mean I have to pick up to three between myself and many of my blogging friends 😱

New game unlocked: Zona Gelap! Social deduction, secret handout, token-based, diceless, murder mystery RPG. This is the first time (out of 4 playtests) that both perps walk free! I’m one of the murderers lol

🚨KEYSTONE IDEA ALERT🚨

When you have multiple dungeon entrances, I think it best to present them in away that highlights differences & provides clues to what’s in the room behind them— this allows impactful PC choice (and even poor *human* illos can be fun, so draw your own stuff unabashedly)

Remember that cool map of Bluesky accounts from earlier this week? Well, I wrote a quick n' dirty guide on how to use it to create solar system for your own sci-fi TTRPG setting on the fly! Welcome to... BLUESTAR! meatcastlegameware.com/blog/2026/2/...

This is an evolution of my insistence that cool shit is coming from post-OSR and storygame people listening to each other, and often that shit ends up looking remarkably larp-like.

i'm putting together a team

the current 2E dungeon exploration rules. unlikely to surprise anyone but some have asked how I run dungeons so here it is vaultsofvaarn.com/2026/02/05/e...

Figuring out What Happened To The Silver Spoon Boys? in @munkao.bsky.social’s Kala Mandala for today’s public holiday game. We did a short playtest just until the party got to speak to a ghost and it was really fun to run. Excited to see the final form of this adventure.
