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

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

It is an age of darkness, uncertainty, and chaos. Would-be kings, violent tyrants, and bloody barons bring war to isolated fiefs, leaving destruction and death in their wake. The only source of succor for the people is the knights.
Written up ~1200 words for premise and statblocks for #KnightcoreTheRPG for a New Year's Eve one-shot. Where in some RPGs statblocks are full of, well, stats, often rarely used, in Knightcore they are the barest of stats, but full of story, loot, and world-affecting options. #knightcore #ttrpg
