I've been playing Sword World 2.5 for the past several weeks and it's been an incredible time. I have so much love for this system and I'm excited to share the experience with you. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/07...

Tonight in Fabula Ultima: my players destroyed the central processing unit of the local Talon hive -- the lair of magitek cops with mind control powers.

Last year I wrote a ttrpg manifesto trying to outline a style of play I enjoy. I have since refined those thoughts and arrived at a more clear vision of that philosophy. This is the "lost" seventh culture of play. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/05...

New ttrpg review / impression! My comrades and I have been playing Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/05...

Today in Fabula Ultima, my players fought a sentient plant villain that had been abducting people around the city. While they managed to stop it from regenerating new tendrils, it KO'd one of the players and dragged them underground before escaping.

I have flown too close to the sun. As a joke, I told my player that if he made a Megalovania remix, I'd put Sans Undertale in our Fabula Ultima game. 5 minutes ago, he posted this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RyGN...

More work on Alypia's design... Boots.

I've been playing GURPS with some folks from Paper Cult for the past couple of months. These are my reflections following the conclusion of our mini-campaign. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/03...

Lesbians want one thing and it's to eat baked goods with Gaia FFXIV.

If you've never seen the intro to Dirty Pair: Project Eden, you may be surprised to discover that it's one of the most beautiful things ever animated.

im in this! i've always wanted to be part of a webring and elmcat has made the dream real.

in the words of @farmergadda.bsky.social we must all make personal manifestos and have religious schisms about them. juniper's energy here is exactly what we need.

Here's a meme: I want uglier games that are harder to understand made by people who've never read a TTRPG, and I'm not kidding. I have written a manifesto against understanding. Against bullet points. Against it all. www.patreon.com/posts/152873...

the homestuck character vriska serket has this monologue about how you don't have to be a good person to be a hero. as a kid growing up in a deeply religious household, she made me feel like it was worth living despite my "sins"

it was hard to pick but here's a 2026 top 9

A thread of non-obvious things that either influenced BREAK!! and/or make for good BREAK!! inspiration in my opinion. I am going to add to this as I think of new ones (or maybe even find them)

I played Final Fantasy Tactics and it was a game of all time. Delita Heiral lives rent free in my head now, so I decided to unpack the ways in which this game has influenced my ttrpg design. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/03...

Aldori swordlord commission:

I have a documented love for triple triad and this is a really good analysis for what makes a minigame sing.

Bug man.

I love the Total//Effect system so this jam is perfect to kick off my first project of the year! I'm still brainstorming but I've got ideas for a Valiant Horizon supplement...

The steam page for Lancer Tactics is now up! Throw us on your wishlist! #lancerrpg #mech #mecha

I ran Beam Saber as my first new game of 2026! It was interesting to see what the system does well compared to other mecha rpgs. Full review here: www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2026/01...

Daily bunny no.3209 is quite solemn

As part of my ttrpg "book club" we're playing an abbreviated campaign of Beam Saber. I improvised a mechanic to simulate the attrition of a longer campaign based on Girl Frame's Apocalypse Keys -style moves.

Below lies the current playtest documents for Screaming Metal. A social fuckery. Erotic wasteland exploration. Mega devastruction simulator. Oh, hi, it's so nice to meet you, let's kill each other. Mechanized powersuits carrying fragile Tamagotchi hearts piloted by you depraved dogs. Bark bark bark.

extremely cool dice tech

This was such a cool project to work on and I can't wait to play through this hexcrawl.

A year in review: I wrote a blog post once a week and published three games. Looking forward to even more in 2026! www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

In the penultimate blog post of the year, I reflect on my roleplaying beginnings and how those experiences inform my game design. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

Gun Wielding Mook: "THE DAYS OF THE GUNSWORD ARE OVER!" The hottest fucking woman on Earth (she's holding a gunsword): "Not so fast."

Happy holidays! I've put up the lancer tactics sprites I've completed for use as tokens or modding custom sprites! gentrigger.itch.io/lancer-tacti... #lancer #lancertactics

Ivalice Miku:

I forgot to post these earlier but I also finalized the art for Crystal Clash in my campaign. We've got a proper looking arena and card borders with variants for common / uncommon / rare.

The last ttrpg review of the year is Breathtaking Comics, a superhero game created by @astralfrontier.org. It was a little out of my comfort zone but I had a great time! www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

I made a deckbuilding minigame for my Fabula Ultima campaign! It's completely system agnostic so you can put it in whatever game you want. Enjoy! www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

クリスチーナ

From scenario design to non-diegetic information, I bring a sort of character-tailored play to the table that flies in the face of the classic OSR blorb principles. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/12...

a whole new world to explore

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games. If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here: evilhat.com/game-submiss...

It's been over a decade since the original quantum ogre posts. We use the term, but do we all mean the same thing? In this post I unpack the history of the quantum ogre and propose a modern definition. www.fluoriteguillotine.com/blog/2025/11...
