Me and @artificialjealousy.bsky.social are now at Norwich Games Convention, selling our adventures, including our next, unreleased adventure, The Spire That Sinks! #ttrpg
This week, I talked about some potentially very big changes I want to make to my #ttrpg, CAPE youtu.be/Fx6ey8EbdAE

The middle is getting eaten alive in third-party D&D design. There are still lots of people self-publishing and making basically no money, and there are still opportunities for top freelancers, but it's getting harder and harder to move from the first group to the second.
What’s a thing from your area of expertise (or special interest) that you think it would behoove everyone else to know?

Small update: My living situation has just changed, and my rent has gone up pretty drastically, so if anyone is looking for a #ttrpg writer or editor, drop me a line (I'm more desperate for work than usual)! Portfolio: diceaveragerpg.carrd.co Email: diceaveragejack.business@gmail.com

This month's free one-page #osr adventure, The Hyperborean Colossus, is available now! Venture into the titular titan's carcass to learn what has become of the last explorers who entered its maw. diceaveragerpg.itch.io/the-hyperbor... #ttrpgs
Can confirm that a month after I released an adventure about heathland wildfires, a heath in my county has gone up. 3 days and counting so far www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Fire-ravaged Dunwich Heath 'could take 25 years to recover'
The vast blaze at the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is still being tackled by firefighters.

Can confirm, I used the dungeon tables in the Cairn 2e Warden's Guide + a series of monster traits roll tables and got a fully-formed adventure concept in like 50 minutes!
I was just able to get this month's one-page #osr adventure finished! Hopefully, I'm going to get back on track next month. I'm considering ignoring my ideas list this time around and rolling up a random dungeon from sparks tables and seeing what I can come up with 🤔

Just finished playtesting our next #osr adventure by @artificialjealousy.bsky.social It was a great time. Giving inanimate objects cockney accents is always good fun

I can confirm that, after uploading my third adventure, that this was either a one-off incident, or it part of their security checks for new sellers. Your first two products have to be manually reviewed before publishing, so my issue might've been part of that? My most recent upload took 20 minutes
My only gripe so far is that uploads have a habit of snagging at 80-99%. Sometimes they finish, and sometimes they just hang forever. Hopefully that gets fixed soon.
Where Fire Lives is now also on RPG Trader. Hopefully going to get the rest of them up there by the end of this week! rpg-trader.com/products/656...

This is your regular reminder to tell TTRPG creators about how it goes when you run your stuff. Comments on Itch about my adventures make my day every single time.
Finally got around to reading TROIKA! which I bought from Melsonian Arts Council at NGC in 2024. I want more TROIKA! this thing slaps
Boy, I sure love walking around in 30°c weather. Even moreso when all the shops I go to have none of the things I went there for!
Today, I baked under a tree and talked about the Tabletop Unconference and playtesting my game, CAPE, among other things youtu.be/_Npv07OBrrg
Conferences and playtesting

I really enjoyed Tabletop Unconference this Saturday. Comfortable format, live discussions of vital topics, glorious people. You can't appreciate an event like this more, if you're seeing half of this space once a year for 5 minutes at the con. Sarah, thank you for creating a room where it happens.
Thanks to everyone who came along to today's Tabletop Unconference! I'll try to do a little write-up of how it went from my perspective in the next few days, once I've requested/received feedback, but I hope people enjoyed the event. I'll likely run it again – perhaps even later this year?
This week, I talked about actually making progress and game design youtu.be/VMMqHLOsVRY
