I appreciate all the positive feedback I got from this thread. However, a common response, even from supportive folks, was: "To be fair, at first I thought it was AI too" So, after some serious consideration, I had to make a hard decision. 1/

Hey folks! trying to get the rest of my funds together to get to Gen Con this year! Please check out the bundle and repost so I can reach people outside of my normal audience!

I’m feeling a bit disheartened by people thinking my cover art was made with AI. I get it. It looks a bit generic, but this is due to my limited set of skills. So I’m making the PSD files available for anyone to download and scrutinize. 1/

Yet another fun one for my browser history collection. Suffice to say, you now have a new pet option in Mausworn.

For the Thursday crowd? What can I say about The Explorateur this time... I try to improve it every month. Sometimes it's funny. Sometimes it's compelling. I always find something new. And it's focused on design—which leads to more curation. Tell your friends (and your enemies). I want both.

Still a few days left! Go grab a game or 9.

How do you like my Summer Sale announcement?

The Free RPG Bundle highlights a feature we love on RPG Trader: creator collaboration. Creators can team up to build bundles around a genre, setting, theme, or game system, making it easy to create curated collections and help customers discover new content.📚 support.rpg-trader.com/t/creating-p...

*picking words from a thesaurus for a random table as an ESL speaker* “Oh, I like this word. It’s very evocative. I will use it.” *playtesting that random table later* “What in the world does that word mean?”

I remember the first time I read Psi*Run I was like, "Wait... WAIT!" Very few instances of game design have made me reconsider what a TTRPG was capable of doing. This was one of them.

It's the FINAL DAY of our Fundraiser! In addition to the warm glow of giving, we've also v special postcard packs up for grabs — this upcoming set themed on... SOIL. Must donate before midnight tonight (PST) --> https://publicdomainreview.org/support

Can't wait

It's got to be a good sign when you're in the middle of designing the game and you're thinking, “Gods, I can’t wait to play this.” 😊🐭

Parts 2 and 3 done! The more I use Triple-O, the more I love it. It’s fast, doesn’t break the flow, makes us dive into the characters traits and party dynamics, and it’s a clever way to resolve character vs player/gm knowledge. Highly recommended! jakezemeckis.substack.com/p/the-one-ri...

I have a couple more £10 commission slots available now, Please send me a message if you would like to have one, thank you!

Currently working on the "Area Builder" for Mausworn. This is how you come up with a "room" and its contents when delving ruins with your mouse. Loved this result: - An indifferent gecko basking on a rusted bracket inside an engine block, surrounded by the scattered remains of its insect meals.

Please contemplate this pissed-off bird

I am in this one! 😊 🥳
