mike j@noseatbelts.bsky.social · 2w ago3/4 pages are mostly done. Trouble is, I have to wrap everything up on this last page bc I couldn’t not make a cover. Of course I hate the title treatment right now. That’ll be down the wire. #osr #AppxNJam #ttrpg #writing #design

mike j@noseatbelts.bsky.social · 3w agoAfter spending far too long agonizing over the title treatment, The Delicate Diamond is off and running. The graphic design is my favorite part, so the distraction helps to get the writing going. Still don’t capital L love it but it’s a good start. There’s a story too, I promise. #osr #AppxNjam
I’m the co-director/writer on this and….. there is definitely a story to the making of this project.

@amityvilleville.bsky.social · 4w agoThis week, we’re watching Amityville Toybox, and gang…this is getting rough. And if you thought this episode was bad for us imagine how upset we were to learn this movie has a direct sequel that we had to watch 3 movies from later…
Space: there’s blood. Lots of blood there. And you can’t escape the blood. My 4 year old is writing a #Mothership module I guess #osr
Picture in your mind how big a grizzly bear is. Got it? It’s bigger. Way bigger.

LIVIA: He doesn't make them count the rations. JUNIOR: I heard. LIVIA: A dungeon, June. For three days. And nobody counts rations. JUNIOR: (quietly, to the road) That's not a dungeon. That's a hotel. LIVIA: (after a long pause) That's what I said. #sopranos #ttrpg @dndmemesdaily.bsky.social
One of the greatest thing at Blackwork con was when a gang of kids 12-14y from a local youth center came with their pedagogue to give me a copy of the MÖRK BORG adventure they worked on together. Nervous and proud, they each signed my copy and did a short interview. The next generation, man.

No, you can't define the #OSR in a single sentence! It's too nuanced, you-

Coming out of my cage And I’ve been inside a cage Gotta gotta get out Because I’m in a cage It started out in a cage How did I end up in cage It was only a cage It was only a cage
This just helped me with an issue I was having with my latest work. Simplify simplify simplify.
Cats Have No Lord@catshavenolord.itch.io · 5mo agoQuick post about how I realized nested encounter tables can be too much in my current WIP adventure. Sometimes simpler really is better, no matter how strong the call of dice perversion can get. #TTRPG #OSR blog.catshavenolord.page/collapse-you...
Closing in on a final design. Going to leave it for a week or so and come back to see if I notice anything or hate it; which is what happened with my original cover. #osr #ttrpg #ttrpgdesign

About 75 early early discount codes left for my MÖRK BORG hexcrawl zine + physical map + cassette bundle. Going fast- grab one today if want some sweet savings. I’ll probably throw a little sumpthin’ sumpthin’ in with the early backer bundles as a bonus incentive.
Non-RPG design that could inspire RPG design. 1. These could be NPCs, locations, magic items or powers. Presented in three-column with an image for each.
“Daddy, your dad wasn’t very nice to you?” Nope, he wasn’t. “He wasn’t nice to your mom?” Nope “He wasn’t nice to your brothers?” Nope “He doesn’t like other people?” No, he does not. “He only cares about himself?” Yep. “He’s like Kevin’s (Home Alone) uncle?” lol yeah buddy.
