Our Call of Cthulhu #TTRPG release The Sutra of Pale Leaves - Twin Suns Rising is the 2026 Origins Awards Roleplaying Game Supplement of the Year!

I used to think you had to be special to write TTRPGs. I was right. I just misunderstood which aspect you had to have that was special. It’s not boundless creativity. I always struggled, feeling not creative enough. It’s the ability to sit down and commit words to paper. That’s the big hurdle.

What's happening with RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha? A lot, as Brian, Rick and MOB explained today. This Chaosium Con UK 🇬🇧 panel was recorded and will appear on our YouTube channel in due course.

The #RuneQuest: Roleplaying in #Glorantha road map, shared earlier today at Chaosium Con UK: Sep 26: Sartar Book Q4 26: Apple Lane Campaign Q1 27: Revised Core Rulebook Q2 27: Welcome to Glorantha Q2 27: GM Screen Q3 27: Return to Snakepipe Hollow Q4 27: On the Royal Road Q4 27: Gods of Darkness

There are a lot of roles in game dev where someone bad in a role can do damage, but a bad producer can be so unbelievably damaging that it truly would be better to have no one in the role at all. Just as good producers are force multipliers, bad producers are like throwing sand into a gearbox.

Owen@olandgren.bsky.social · 7mo ago

A good producer is absolutely an incredible force multiplier and allows the folks who are creating the actual artifacts to be more effective. A producer beholden to methodology or who does not understand the needs of the game they're working, however, can do irreparable damage very easily.

It’s so convenient that the New Years drop at the same time as new Wordle, Connections, and Strands come online, at least here in the PNW. Hat tip to whoever arranged that.

In my Dalelands campaign, the players have a simple trend. If someone hires them to murder someone, they kill them. Regardless of how obviously the goblin bandit/orc mercenary/weirdo mage is ready to tell them their life story. Except today...

Yesterday I mentioned that the new D&D Starter Set is the best D&D product I own. Here's one of the reason why - the maps. The encounter maps have the perfect mix of utility and character. They're interesting places. I run my games on Maps, and the assets from the Starter Set are my go-to pieces.

The Beautiful Mess of 5E Mike Mearls, Mike Shea, Shawn, and Teos discuss the many forms of 5E. We look at how D&D 5E was designed in a open way and how this impacts our hobby. Recorded at Gamehole Con! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ4T... masteringdungeons.podbean.com #DnD #ttrpg

Behold! The massive RPG Moral Panic video I've been researching and assembling for years, and why people who call the whole affair the Satanic Panic are wrong. I'm so damned happy to finally have this beast out of my system. youtu.be/OpjV-melB-c

It's not a fight until everyone is bloodied!

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

It’s been a good day. The pressure is on to deliver, but at least he’s getting the chance.

JUST IN: Mamdani, a democratic socialist and state assemblymember, will make history as the first Muslim and South Asian person — as well as the youngest in over a century — to serve as New York City mayor.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

5e has a metagame that we never talk about. The PHB provides the players with plenty of solutions to monsters. The Monster Manual... kind of ignores all of them? What if we thought about boss monsters as creatures equipped to deal with the realities of the PHB? www.patreon.com/posts/boss-m...

A new adventure for RuneQuest! The Hunt for the Storm Calf is a stand-alone scenario that contains everything for a riveting adventure in the far east of Dragon Pass! (And featuring vivid cover art by @ossihiekkala.bsky.social!)

I don't know this for sure, but it sounds right. 4e's flaw were all of process. There was never a design document or a single person who transparently managed design changes. It was a vibes-based approach. Example: I think we had a month of design time for each of the first three adventures.

Distracted DM@distracteddm.bsky.social · 11mo ago

I heard that just before 4e's release, someone (don't know who) decided that monsters didn't have enough HP and everything's HP was upped a significant amount (which then resulted in some painful HP bloat)- any truth to that bit of hearsay?

If you run D&D 5e, you might find that your boss monsters die easily. There's actually a simple reason for that! The game was built around the assumption that characters would engage in about 20 rounds of combat between long rests. We were probably off by a factor of 5.

THANK YOU, backers! Only a few RPG crowdfunding campaigns not based on popular licenses or 5E have ever broken $1,000,000 in a crowdfunding campaign. We are beyond excited and humbled to see Cypher enter those ranks. Thank you for making this an unforgettable campaign! mymcg.info/cypher

Hello travellers! Inspired by MCDM's new Draw Steel adventure, this is my take on the Delian Tomb! This is fan art and not endorsed by MCDM in any way. Let me know what you think of the Knightly tomb.

Most TTRPGs rely on vibes to function. Players and GMs get a vague understanding of how the game works and dive into play. When writing a game, consider how you can make Team Vibes and Team I Actually Read the Goddamn Book play nice. www.patreon.com/posts/simpli...
