Mothership needs debt. "You have no money so you cant do anything" sucks. "Oh you can spend as you like, get thats ship, but careful the loan sharks will be bustting down doors and sending bounty hunters after you if you dont pay. Better take those horrific scenarios huh?" Is a lot better.

seven part pact launches in 2 days, here's some sketches by @badbucket.bsky.social showing the process for designing different boards — each of the seven wizards has their own board game with completely different rules (and inspiration from different styles of medieval art)
okay I am home after spending a week with my parents helping my dad recover from open-heart surgery (he's improving, and everything is good!) So I wanna talk a quick bit about Sprigs & Kindling and our ennie nominations. :)
www.isolarii.com/book/dunderh... One of my besties translated three novellas. He's a great translator and a great writer, can't wait to see what he's done this time! It is a bi-monthly service but you don't have to get more than one book if you don't want to.

Ansible Uplink is a bi-weekly podcast where I invite a different indie ttrpg creator on to review a sci-fi adventure module. As mentioned on the show (but never on bsky), if folks have questions about sci-fi roleplaying or adventure design, you can drop them here for the show, :)
Had a blast in the Triptech3 Game Jam! If you're sitting on the fence about jumping in on one of these things, just do it! Learnt and did more in three weeks than I would usually in three months, and got to discover the work of and chat with a whole bunch of cool folks. Look forward to...

Using clickbait to point to my most essay like post yet. Just in time for the map bandwagon. elmc.at/against-maps/
Against Maps
Not all maps help play. Some clarify, some confuse, some inspire, and some just sit there like decoration.

I was really inspired by the You Cannot Play this TTRPG jam - so I decided to make something for it. Here is a character sheet I have designed for a game about Goblins which you will never, ever, be able to play.
@rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social has put out an unhinged quiz I feel compelled to share for non-contractual reasons (My results are total bullshit but funny bullshit)

We unlocked Emily last night - which is good, I was worried that we were keeping her locked up at all. Next stretch goal is Stephanie will do individual the opening art for each of the Metadungeon's six chapters. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

The real dungeon was the hobby we made along the way. Dungeon crawl your way through half a century of RPG history in this full-scale megadungeon for the DIE RPG by Gareth Hanrahan.

My goal today is to try and get to 200 backers on IN THE LIBRARY WITH THE WRENCH. I obviously can't force people to back it so this is really out of my control, but I can be loud about it. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...
Here's my advice for running Mythic Bastionland, in the format of a GM-side version of the player oaths. Also clearly a chance to drop some anecdotes from my game.
The Mythic Bastionland GM Oaths - Old Men Running The World
There’s been a little cottage industry of advice for Mythic Bastionland. I’m not proud enough to resist. Pride was always my dump sin.

GM Tip: Not every journey needs to be played through step-by-step. Try travel montages. Ask each player for one scene from the road: a campfire story, a close call, a discovery, etc. #ttrpg #rpg #gaming #ttrpgCommunity
