Just fired up a new Roll20 table for a new campaign. Based on the auto generated title I feel like it's going to be a good one 😁

New Blogpost: Five methods for dealing with repeated results on random tables #osr #ttrpg #blogwagon
Five Solutions to the Birthday Paradox in Tables — Prismatic Wasteland
When you are using a random table more than once, you are likely going to run into repeated results. Here are five ways to deal with that problem, particularly for random encounter tables.

Made a micro ruleset for abstract base building in #daggerheart (also includes rules for armies and warfare). Fairly comprehensive but easy to run (and easy to expand)!
#TrenchCrusade inspired battlemaps! Steel Necropolis, no man's land, the northern Hellmouth and more. So many awesome scenes for TC to explore, I do wonder if there is an audience for virtual play trench crusade- #TTRPG #wargaming #dieselpunk patreon.com/balatroart
What's today's creative mood? I'm glad you asked.

I never thought of this before but I wonder how many small fish swim into an octopuses' ear hole gill things thinking it's a little cave to hide in. Like it's had to of happened in the heat of a chase at some point right?
🇨🇦JOY 🇨🇦@joycomes.bsky.social · 4mo agoOctopuses change its COLOR and TEXTURE in a fraction of a second using a complex network of pigment-filled cells called chromatophores, structural reflectors, and tiny muscles controlled directly by their highly advanced nervous system! WATCH and you will see how it changes as it moves along!
Having some friends come over today. I've made a few fun brain ticklers to throw in our new Pick a Topic jar. Wonder how it will go 😂
I'm trying to adopt a healthier social media balance. In that effort I've been closing out of the infinite scrollers (TikTok, Insta, YouTube Shorts) the moment I get fed something that I do not enjoy or is an ad. So far I'd say it's working quite well 😁
It's #SelfPromoSaturday so let's see your #ttrpg #wip #gaming and #artistonbluesky projects below! 😎 #ttrpgcommunity

Map Map is a fantastic game and scratching the mapmaking/orienteering Miasmata originally ignited in me. I'm so happy more games in this weird niche genre are being funded 🥳
GamesMarket@gamesmarket.global · 4mo agoThe prototype funding session of Hamburg Kreativ Gesellschaft's @gamecityhamburg.bsky.social has awarded money to five studios: @pipapogames.bsky.social, Odd Zeroes, Studio Gutheil, @chasmicdrop.bsky.social and @birdoutside.bsky.social. www.gamesmarket.global/gamecity-ham...
Did you know I sell lightly damaged copies of my games on my website? Each one is sold at the same price as the PDF ($8-10), which is included. Shipping is $5, whether for one book or all three!
Why is staging consistently productive so hard? Like I'm not even talking about highly or very productive. Just a steady "chipping away at it" is a challenge sometimes.

I haven't done a lot of #worldbuilding lately... I should worldbuild... The only question is what world 🤔
If you think about it it's actually quite remarkable how you can effortlessly transition from walking forwards to walking backwards and then back again. Like that is surprisingly complicated coordination that we just take for granted. #ShowerThoughts
@lukehumphris.bsky.social's new #TTRPG is now live on kickstarter. It looks neat and I think I'm jumping on board. Also, I literally just got the dam pun 🤦♂️ When Society Collapsed: Dam Nation www.kickstarter.com/projects/whe...

Sooooo I just discovered Affinity v3 now exists and it includes the ability to export ePub files. So why am I not happy. It's free and has Canva's stamp on it. Don't get me wrong the downloadable app seems good. Like really good. My gut is just turning thinking about when that's gonna change
I just read a bumper sticker that said "There is Power in the Blood of Jesus" and realized how much that sounded like some rumor you'd stumble on in a #TTRPG game. "You are not strong enough to fight the Dark Lord, but within the blood of the Jesus, you'll find the power."
You know what one of my favorite things about #PocketQuest is? Getting a reason to scribble in my dev journal. It feels so much more fluid to brainstorm to paper rather than a screen. And I get to make nifty little doodles while I think on ideas! #WIPWednesday
Okay does anyone know the craziness that is the lore of the gummi bears? Was re-watching Crown of Candy and they made a joke about them. Ended up explaining the show to my fiancee. From memory though it went insanely deep. 1/4
