@bennjordan.bsky.social My old friend @heydonworks.com has done the craziest thing and created hyperblam.how, a declarative music engine based on HTML, and I thought it might tickle your fancy! Individual, indie, non-AI.

A few updates to https://mottokrosh.com tonight: added the apps I've recently updated or fixed, including a random fantasy item fetcher from pretty much all of our publications, and the use of AVIF where possible for huge file size savings. The site should be much snappier now. #ttrpg

Calling it a night for today, but I'm really happy with how this adventure for the #WoldenRPG zine 3 and Quickstart has come together. One last pass and it's good to go. It's contemporary and creepy I believe, and very, very open to player agency. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #OSR #NSR #GameDesign #FantasyRPG
Managed to finish the last piece of art required for the new adventure for Wolden Issue 3 and the Quickstart! This will be roughed up in layout yet, and luckily the rest of the art for it comes from the wonderful Wind Lothamer and not me! :D #TTRPG #IndieRPG #OSR #NSR #FantasyRPG #WoldenRPG
I may have just hit "activate" on the pre-launch page for the Wolden issues 2 and 3 Kickstarter. I've been working full-throttle on this for some time now, and I can't wait to share it all with you. But, you know, we'll need to wait a bit, until I finish it. www.kickstarter.com/... #ttrpg #woldenrpg
Coming soon: Wolden Issues 2 and 3
Two packed, illustrated zines for the Wolden Forest Cults RPG and other fantasy roleplaying games.

I managed to get some work done on Wolden 2, 3, and Quickstart while on family holiday, but one highlight was the museum of Stéphane Halleux’s fabulous stuff. Inventive kitbashes of reused materials. #wolden #woldenrpg #ttrpg
BIRCON crew relentlessly hitting the hard to hit spots in Berlin. In the sun. In the beer garden. #ttrpg #penandpaper #berlincons
I don’t think it’s a spoiler when I say Legends of Vox Machina S04 E08 has the most badass fantasy battle ever.
Question for #ttrpg folks. The first Wolden zine had 48 pages. Now I’m gearing up for a double feature Kickstarter of issues 2 and 3. As it stands they have 44 (big adventure) and 32 pages (new cults) respectively. There will also be a free quickstart with a brand new adventure. 1/2

Got my prints of @yochaigal.bsky.social’s Cairn 2e today, both because I finally wanted a physical version of it and because I wanted to try @rpg-trader.bsky.social’s POD quality (well, Lulu’s), and they’re looking good! Glass of absinthe because I’m back from work travels and it’s hot and it’s yum.
Just uploaded a new product to @rpg-trader.bsky.social, and added it to the Free RPG Bundle that's coming next week. It's going to rock. 🤘 #ttrpg #osr #nsr #hypertellurians
