it’s important for your tabletop RPG book to have a slightly uggo initialism or diminutive nickname. too clean an acronym feels a shade overdesigned, too much a product. it needs to be not totally unreasonable to type in a discord channel but somehow hideous to say out loud
Wow the response to my first post was so nice, thank you all! I doubt I'll top that manifesto, but for my sophomore slump, here are some rules for playing elves and dwarves and shit, adapted from my best recollections of that campaign barenuckelavee.bearblog.dev/elves-and-ot...
PRETENDING TO BE AN ELF AND OTHER INHUMANS
Played a game inside. The rules were scraped together from a fading memory of B/X and scratched onto the back of commissary receipts. The dice were made of f...

NO ONE CAN TAKE YOUR GAME FROM YOU

I just noticed that this excellent #indywrestling RPG has an open license. Theoretically, would anybody be interested if I was to work on a UK indie supplement? Reasonably minor project; no crowdfunding and art probably public domain unless anyone wants to profit share.

Here are two dungeons in the Middle-earth Hexcrawl! Minas Anghen was once a home to a line of seers, but is now occupied by bandits who don't understand the magical defenses and treasures. Setmaenen is a grotto under a hill that was once a place of healing, but has been corrupted by Sauron.

Delighted to see some of my work on queer play and TTRPGs show up in @lincodega.com's excellent coverage of Defy the Gods!! 🌈🏳️⚧️🎲
Defy the Gods by @hecticelectron.bsky.social proclaims itself to be a game of "Queer Sword & Sorcery." A strong Epithet that naturally invites the question: what makes a game "queer?" @lincodega.com does a close read of the text, parsing queer structures that encourage explicitly queer play.

Do not even think about uttering the tired old lie of there being "no money in tabletop": for it is dispensed in large sums to influencers, indie darlings, and corpos, whilst the people who truly enrich the artform increasingly feel the need to beggar themselves for scraps. Rascal deserves to go on
