Xiximanter from Tomb of the Serpent Kings by @skerples.bsky.social currently enabling the party’s magic-user to be very normal and lawful #dnd #osr

Blog post: coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/05/pulp... Featuring land crabs, shipwrecks, duelling ocean liners, buried treasure, lost princes, scurvy, comets, and very lonely beetles.

I owe a big thanks to the Between Two Cairns crew for having me on to gush about how much I love “Kidnap the Archpriest” by @skerples.bsky.social! Shout out to @iheartfargo.bsky.social for introducing me to this incredible piece of adventure design!

1d8 Dangerous Techno-Relics, because sometimes, the loot has to be worth fighting for. Some items will alter the setting. Some will alter the map.

415 Medieval Questions from Sidrak and Bokkus coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2025/04/sidr...

Techno-Trinkets, for your fallen earths or time-blasted settings. What will the PCs do with the Hand Punishment Pain-Cube (Toaster) or the Rolling Sky-Pulpit (Scissor Lift)?

1d20 sci-fi grenades, for OSR games with crashed starships or dangerous fruit trees. Picking up an unlabelled bag and throwing them at enemies is not required, but it is traditional.

High Tech weapons, for those times when generic medieval-ish OSR PCs loot a downed spaceship, extort a time traveller, etc.

@mellonbread.bsky.social has created six perfect mini-adventures inspired by the Monster Overhaul (and then extended by craft). bellenmred.blogspot.com/search/label... I should write a full blog post on these at some point, because they're spectacular. Little perfect jewel boxes of OSR design.

Reminder that The Monster Overhaul is the greatest TTRPG monster book ever and if you are runnning anything resembling old school fantasy setting, this book is a must own. As soon as I first opened it I thought, "why isn't every other bestiary designed this way?"

Even more WIP items from the Meatworld section of the Treasure Overhaul, including some cursed items. Well, they're all a little bit cursed, but these ones are _properly_ cursed.

I've owned the PDF for a while but I'm pumped to finally get my hands on a physical copy most helpful and utilitarian dungeon bestiary of the modern age! (It's @skerples.bsky.social Monster overhaul. obivously.)

Consumable items from the Meatworld section of the Treasure Overhaul. A sprinkling of body horror to season your game.

Still working on the Treasure Overhaul. Here are some items from the "unusual theme" section of the book. Specifically, the Meatworld (temp. name) section. Arms, Legs, Glands, and Organs. For exiled biomancers, daemonic surgeons, and wizards with wriggling things in jars.

#TTRPG prep time and no hag template fits. The Monster Overhaul by @skerples.bsky.social saves my arse once again. 6d10 later & I have a grandmother Leannán Sídhe that is going to wipe the floor with my OP, min-maxing, #Spelljammer group today. Bringing Twilight Clerics down to Earth since 2025. 😈

It's incredible that Tomb of the Serpent Kings is available in eight languages. coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2017/06/osr-... All completely free!

Єй, нарешті підтвердження публікації на @drivethrurpg.com і разом з цим нова версія з виправленнями! #нрі www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

https://buff.ly/4jAkb4K 気になるモンスター本。基本的にはOSR(AD&D1e、あるいは赤箱D&Dベースのクローン)のモンスターデータなんですが、用意されているチャート類などが基本システム非依存なので『モンスターを味変する』際に非常に参考になる書籍とのこと。 #DNDJ #TRPG

I have a post in this round, but there are 15 other deserving entries, so give 'em a read and vote (or don't).

I've just released the full spell list for the Treasure Overhaul on Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/118022... 41 pages of Druid, Cleric, Illusionist, and Magic-User spells in a compact and ready-to-use format.

We finally finished off the blood troll from Monster Overhaul last night after 2 years of it stalking us! It killed 2 of our PCs and my goat!

Some classic D&D spells, like Simulacrum, are more famous for their implications than for their dry rules text. I hope Chrysalis will be added to that category. It's a lovely morning in the village, and you are a horrible Druid.

More ships!

Making starship deck plans is therapeutic.

I decided to try writing a bestiary. Everyone else is doing minimalism, so I thought I would try maximalist entries. But, you know, like, *useful* maximalist. goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-... #osr #ttrpg #bestiary

Magical Industrial Gunboats: a free 9-page PDF with steam-powered rivercrawl tools, plus a lot of useful quotes in the blog post. coinsandscrolls.blogspot.com/2024/11/osr-...

Pro tip: you can sneak jokes into even the dullest table if you're willing to stretch the definition of "joke".

Dare you tempt the wrath of the League of Evil Pseudoscientists? (Evil regular scientists get to have all the fun. That's because their evil science actually works. But the League of Evil Pseudoscientists perseveres).

The 2024 DMG dropped in select stores last week. I share cartography credits with Mike Schley & Francesca Baerald in this tome. But flip to Appendix B, and that is ALL ME. A full appendix of my work. I'm kinda stoked.

#thankaTTRPGcreator Between a unique setting, custom time mechanics, and clever writing I loved Magical Industrial Revolution by @skerples.bsky.social. It made for an excellent Domain of Dread/Blades in the Dark game in the middle of my Ravenloft campaign. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2...

Found while cleaning my moms house. My grandmothers aunts owned a corner store in Philly and lived above it. We were given some books when they passed away. My favorite find is a first year latin text with some great advice 😅

New article that SUPPOSEDLY is a review of Barkeep on the Borderlands by @prismaticwasteland.bsky.social But is actually about something else... www.technicalgrimoire.com/david/2024/0...

Massmorph, at level 4, isn't discussed in the post, but I'm pretty pleased with this variant. People might actually use the spell now.

"Like all great RPG supplements, the book not only offers a set of answers for all these questions and more, it also teaches the reader how to continue answering them long after these published tables and suggestions are exhausted." - Stu Horvath, Vintage RPG www.vintagerpg.com/2024/08/the-...

The Treasure Overhaul is also going to be a spellbook. Check out 90 (!) Level 1, 2, and 3 Magic-User spells on Patreon. www.patreon.com/posts/110126... Compatible with most old-school RPGs.

How odd. Thanks for letting me know. It feels peculiar to issue a denial for something like this, but, to be perfectly clear, I am not the person named in those posts. 😕

12/13 #Booth241 big games and boxed games and big boxed games. Our thanks to @bullypulpithq.bsky.social for allowing us to sell Star Crossed: Love Letters at #GenCon2024 ahead of its October 1 release. You're the best!

Added a Blue Star Line Polycule Declaration Form to the PDF, because watching PCs try to maintain fake names and cover stories while trying to get a discounted room rate is hilarious.
