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

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...

Wrote up my encounter table with some statblocks for my hexcrawl. Includes events ranging from cowboys to aliens, to my favorite, the Noble Mothman! sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/revolver-ran...

Why I've started calling for rolls less when I GM, and the joy of just letting players do stuff sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/roll-less-do...

Today I wrote about a way to handle knowledge checks in a skill-less TTRPG, plus a GLOG class based on acquiring knowledge! sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/building-a-b...

Still a work in progress but I published all the player facing rules for my Wild West fantasy ttrpg on my blog! It is an OSR style game heavily inspired by Into the Odd and the GLOG. I'll post other TTRPG and perhaps video game related stuff there as well :) sagesanctum.bearblog.dev/revolver/

I've been working on some homebrew ttrpg rules for when it's my turn to run for our rpg group. I decided to make a homemade physical core rulebook I can hand out to the players. It was a lot of fun!
