I like the way the room names of Tomb of Armansquagulat (by the 3d6DTL guys) show the level of illumination in the room at a glance. I've seen a few iterations of this idea but this one is sticky. Notice how Area 1 is lit, Area 2 is partially lit, and Area 3 is dark. Neat!

3d6 DTL #MythicBastionland Ep 10! Their lives forfeit otherwise, the Knights must tame the Hound on the Wind. After meeting a legendary Knight of old, the Company travels to the orchard town of Lummouth, which is beset by Sarx, the Hound in Flesh. #NSR #TTRPG #ActualPlay Links below!

3d6 DTL #Dolmenwood Ep 24, exclusively on Patreon! The twisted servant of a chaos godling lurks beneath Dreg's smokehouse. It's up to the breggles and the Boghouse Boys to put an end to the creature's deprivations, and apparently a multitude of rocks are involved. #OSR #TTRPG Patreon link below!

3d6 DTL #MythicBastionland Ep 09! Servants from Fieldwind Mews are recruited to help repair Croylehenge, but something that once was interred has now risen and stalks the shadows surrounding the holy site. Can the great spear Psychopompos bring the beast low? #NSR #TTRPG #ActualPlay Links below!

ER should be a case study in all we've lost in the era of purportedly "prestige" tv. It has some lemons like any network show, but the artistry is baffling. "Love's Labor Lost" is more gripping than entire seasons of contemp tv.

3d6 DTL #MythicBastionland Ep 08! Deep under Lake Arnisle, the legendary grotto known as the Indigo Veil yields transformative visions. Above ground, the hunt is on for Sir Croyle's hounds and their latest victim, a Knight of the Sidereal Guard. #NSR #TTRPG #ActualPlay Links below!

The Bsky ttrpg discourse du jour reminds me that I should finish writing my “rpgs are fundamentally jokes which only work so long as everyone is in on them” essay

You can spot AI in a school paper. I've clocked the precise Adderall schedule of every Bluesky discourser. We are not the same.

3d6 DTL #Dolmenwood Ep 23, exclusively on Patreon! Snerg and Odysseus are intent on stealing the Starling, heedless of the potential consequences. With newly acquired intel, it seems likely that an atacorn is at the heart of Dreg's malaise. Back to the Smokehouse! #OSR #TTRPG Patreon link below!

Why Didn't Silent Titans Change the World?

Apprehension is worth the effort

valerialoves.com

A lot of the way TTRPG books (particularly adventures) get talked about and reviewed these days centers on their efficacy as labor-saving products. It's boring. Silent Titans is not an effective labor-saving product. I need to re-read Silent Titans.

God I love big videogames, I love endless layoffs and crunch and low wages, I love upsampling from 360p I love PBR and TAA and raytracing I love 10 frames of input delay and 6x frame gen I love the Artstation aesthetic, just blend it all into a slurry and puke it into my mouth like a fledgling crow
