I write about solo RPGs and tabletop gaming. Mostly actual plays. Fan of bards, JRPGs, and Souslike content. https://thelonebard.com #solorpg #ttrpg
Hey everyone! So, I've had my commissions closed for a long time, and life has been bumpy, but I think I may have some time to open 1-2 cover slots, depending on volume and deadline, starting soon. Wouldn't mind some fantasy/ttrpg work. Some samples:
Let’s Play Grok?! 2e Part 3: Toadal Recall: thelonebard.com/lets-play-gr... More misadventures with Grok?! 2e. This time Catarina leaves the library for some point crawling. #solorpg #actualplay #ttrpg
I made a new video, going over what I think is my favorite feature in Broken Shores, so come check it out! And please consider backing the Kickstarter, we're incredibly close to funding! youtu.be/gtmA5jcCwcY

The flavor sheet for playing DANGER CLOSE as a freelancing crew is out now! It is attached as a free addition to the game files. This one is essentially system-agnostic; it works with DC, but it is also a standalone faction attention and reputation system. dicegoblingames.itch.io/danger-close...
I've been thoroughly enjoying drawing the maps for this series! Follow along on the Kickstarter if you think it sounds like fun 🙂
Todd@thirdkingdom.bsky.social · 4d agoJourney to the Forbidden Plateau is the second part in an experimental OSR adventure path that uses the classic module B1 -- In Search of the Unknown as a springboard and starting point. Launches soon on Kickstarter, with maps by @ways-unseen.bsky.social and cover art by Smif. #ttrpg #dnd #osr
Interesting read! I'm always excited about monster hunter-inspired games and concepts
