I ran cy_borg this week! Here are my thoughts on mork borg but cyberpunk 😎 sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/cy_borg-revi...

There's a ghost in the shell ttrpg kick-starting right now and the only stats are ghost and shell I'm dying 😭

The Major is just like me frfr

I watched Ghost in the Shell and now I'm feeling things 😭

Wrote up some TTRPG playtest material to satiate my Cyberpunk binge. Put your brain in a hard drive, what could go wrong? sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/cyberpunk-pl...

Me explaining why I enjoy writing Cyberpunk TTRPG stuff

"That kind of grandeur never feels like yours. It baulks at ownership, insisting with force that it be looked upon, filled, and appreciated. I, too, wanted these things, for this great hall and myself, alike." Cravenheart Manor is out now on itch. katt-kirsch.itch.io/cravenheart-...

We train like our idols 🙂‍↕️ 🙂‍↕️

Having tits is awesome, highly recommended

On top of clearly being used to suppress the votes of minorities, married women and other Americans who have changed their names would also be required to secure updated documentation to register to vote. This is going to result in voter suppression on a catastrophic level, which is their true goal.

Great post from @hilandergames.bsky.social "A City is a Forest" hilanderrpgs.bearblog.dev/a-city-is-a-...

I realized I haven't posted my campaign logs here. So I'll start doing that. I'm participating in Campaign 2026, with the goal of running this campaign that started a few weeks ago to the end of the year! We are playing a modified version of Old School Essentials with custom classes. Recaps below!

TONIGHT!! One of my favorite yearly traditions returns as the Lavender Scale Pirates set sail for the last time! Once again I will commandeer the crew’s hyperactive scout Esmer—the zany martial artist wielder of the Bug Bug Fruit Model Grasshopper. We stream Wednesday nights! Come on by!

The Bloggies' page has updates! 1. "We Read the Bloggies" A fan-made podcast is live and linked! 2. A new submission has been nominated, "Book [Verb] Play" in Theory. The other post was removed on the author's request. 3. I've redesigned the page to keep things short and sweet. Happy reading!

A group of volunteers is recording as many of the nominees for the Bloggies as possible, and uploading them as a podcast! I’m helping out a bit with this, and I’ve recorded a few already! Come listen at the link below, Spotify, and several other podcast platforms! podcast.bloggies.org

“Please enjoy the museum”: Relooted is OUT NOW! Please share!

I think I'm setting the right goals for myself.

The No ICE in Minnesota Charity Bundle has officially LAUNCHED! There are 1,439 games to discover for a $10+ donation to Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota! Purchase the bundle here: itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

Corporations will not exploit working people in NYC. Uber Eats, Fantuan & HungryPanda broke the law — shortchanging workers while raking in profits. Today, we secured $5M+ in restitution for 49,000 delivery workers. Let this be a warning: steal wages, face the consequences.

My least favorite development in online games is how many have 8 million different currencies now. So transparently done to be confusing

Random rolled traits of tonight's Mork Borg character

There's a lot of people in the quotes worried about Wikipedia content being used for AI now. Sadly, that isn't really new. Almost all content on Wikipedia is published on a free use basis. You've always been able to do whatever you want with it, including use it to train AI.

One of my favorite pieces I've found browsing public domain artwork. Look at the little bugs on their procession 😍!

I've been playing Yakuza lately and my wife laughs at me for stopping at every restaurant I pass to try the different foods 😅

I wrote an adventure for Ronin about exploring a once great castle that's been overtaken by Yokai. Discover the secrets of Castle Katsutoyo with your party and take the castle for yourselves... Or die trying!

Today I'll be reading Coriolis the Great Dark, so impressions to come! The concept is immediately appealing to me. A dying civilization in a hollowed out asteroid needs to venture into space ruins to find a way to get their civilization back on track. Adventure ensues, neat!

A couple matches here! 10 new (to me) ttrpgs I want to run/play this year - Fabula Ultima - Daggerheart - Sword world - Coriolis the Great Dark - Mutant Year Zero - Mythic Bastionland - Legend of the Five Rings - Urban Shadows 2e - Wanderhome - Pirate Borg

Nioh adds a great element to the Souls formula I didn't know I wanted. The ability to go sicko mode for like 30 seconds once or twice a level.

Working on some layouts for an adventure for a Ronin session. God bless the public domain and free fonts!

We passed that impasse like a week after slop became popular as a term lol

I'm playing PaRappa for the first time and this game is actually genius

I rarely give out +1 magic weapons in my TTRPG sessions, here's why and a simple procedure for generating more interesting items. sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/putting-the-...

Ok I love the mechanics of mechatron but I'm not loving the included adventure. Feels like there's a ton of "if the players don't do this, later an NPC comes and makes them." Or "if the players fail this skill roll an NPC just does it for them"

what's up gamers, I'm back with ten more tangible tips for editing your tabletop RPG manuscript: samsorensen.blot.im/ten-more-tan...

I read through mutant year zero +mechatron yesterday and today. This is the first post apocalypse game that has really grabbed me. I like the premise of mechatron the most. Playing as worker robots gaining sentience and questioning "why do we work?" Sounds very fun to me

New #Unfated Dev Update in our Discord and on our Kickstarter page! Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/unf... discord.gg/G5e8tcDj

I'm excited to run some more Ronin tonight! The published adventures use random tables and encounters in some ways I usually don't. Here's what I like, what I don't like, and how I will apply what I like to my games. sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/ruminating-o...

I've been reading a lot about Yokai lately! Here's three that I like and how I might include them in a TTRPG campaign. sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/3-yokai-for-...

The GM can always make the dice cooperate because they decide when to ask the dice for answers :)

Today I ran my first session of Ronin! We got about halfway through the intro adventure, so we get into the real meaty stuff next time. Full impressions when we finish it next week, but a thing I was impressed by and a funny thing that happened:

Today I'm reading Slightly Reckless Games' Ronin! I ordered a copy yesterday, but it came with a pdf, so I'll be digging in today. Right off the bat, the page layouts are lovely, as is to be expected from a Mork Borg inspired product.

Reading through Daggerheart, what I like on first impression: - Simplifying where it makes sense: Stuff like just having stat modifiers instead of scores, having all the druid animal options right under the class. - the hope and fear dice: cool easy to interpret way of adding complications

Ttrpg abilities are more fun when they expand the space of the game. Also featuring my one sided beef with 5e's actor feat sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/expand-the-p...

This week's hex in my hex crawl project is my starting town, Silver Hills. The town is defined by its internal struggle to reject or accept the rule of angels, and its mistreatment of political dissidents in the past coming back to bite it in the present. sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/silver-hills/

My office supplies order came in! 😊

My players often want to build a town or a base, but don't like getting bogged down in the minutiae. Here's my take on a rules light, quick to manage town building system that keeps the focus on adventuring, and is easy to expand. sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/building-a-b...
