Finally got rid of the One Huge Solid Lump of blueberries that survived lots of partial defrostings and refreezings. Plans for making jam, or something, maybe, sometime: officially abandoned.

This silly idea has kept rattling around in my brain, so I guess I'm making it into an actual game you could play with friends. Fantasy Fantasy League.

Rushed him out on a stretcher and everyone's saying he'll be off mortally injured for at least a couple of games. My fantasy fantasy league's absolutely cooked

"You'll undertake delivery tasks to support and supply the expedition, all while managing fuel, navigating unpaved terrain, and ensuring whatever still-twitching godflesh might be weighing down your flatbed gets to its destination unspoiled."
This upcoming Steam game is pioneering the accursed trucking genre, and as a former delivery guy I could not be more thrilled
Prospice: Anomalous Logistics simulates the canonical deliveryman experience of having your dreambody dissolved in the labyrinth of collective death.

David J Prokopetz@prokopetz.bsky.social · last wk.Concept: OSR dungeon crawler version of this post: bsky.app/profile/prok... Like, that's it. That's the whole premise – just an old-school dungeon crawl where your party's explicit goal is to NOT kill anything, in a dungeon filled with fanciful creatures which seem determined to die at your hands.

c0nc0rdance@c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 2w agoThe "zero shadow" phenomenon is only true for perfectly vertical straight-sided objects, but it's trippy to look at. The State Museum of Natural and Cultural History of Hawai'i ran a contest to come up with a name & landed on 'Lāhainā' which means "cruel sun" in Hawai'ian.
Break glass for emergency mystery to distract the players with (1d10) 1. Someone woke up invisible today 2. The temple is doubling your tithes 3. Who stole the horseshoes off your steeds? 4. All those bodies you left disappeared overnight 5. The moon is a different colour now ...

Fantasy gaming meets environmentalism and bomb disposal! Ecoheroism is a free #TTRPG supplement exploring the idea that slaying a dragon doesn't make it safe. Each organ is magically hazardous and must be disposed of carefully to avoid environmental disaster. periapt-games.itch.io/ecoheroism
