While I may be disappointed in my Appendix N Jam entry this year, I am very excited for The Black Hack's 10th Anniversary Jam! Been kind of obsessed with this game for the past year or so and I'm excited to do something. I have an idea for an adventure and am getting started!

The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Jam

A game jam from 2026-08-01 to 2026-09-01 hosted by pikliz. Ten years ago David Black caved our heads in when he released The Black Hack into the world. Providing a hyper-streamlined ruleset, TBH is a ...

Two ideas that I had that were better: the dungeon is full of different shades of the same future wizard at different points from the future. Final encounter would be with the full wizard and influenced by how you interacted with the shades. Pretty loose but I feel like something is there? And 2 ⬇️

I’m really torn about having submitted this. On one hand I’m glad I got it done but on the other I REALLY phoned it in bc I procrastinated too long. I think the entry I did last year was pretty ok; not perfect or great or anything but something I could at least be proud of. This one? Not so much!

1000%! This one made me gasp when I opened it. Have only skimmed it but it’s got the fucking juice!

4. Gunslingers of Titan by @elwinalice.bsky.social & @crystalnyam.bsky.social Western saloon on Titan whose Gun-Witchy bartender hides many secrets for We Deal in Lead & Odd-likes 🥃 I think this may end up the people's winner. Just read it. It slaps! It fucks! The Indonesian TTRPG scene is HOT 🔥

Ok, I did it! I completed my Appendix N Jam 2026 entry! I waited too long and had to cram like I was back in college to get it done, but I did it. I kind of hate it, but I'm happy I got it down to 3 pages so I could include a cover (thank you @perplexingruins.bsky.social for the amazing art!)

Back from my trip and excited to start reading through the Appendix N Jam entries!

+1 to this, and if you want to be able to play Sonic the Hedgehog, I don’t think we’d be a good fit at the table, and we’re obviously coming to ttrpgs for different reasons, and I wish you well in your future endeavors.

TheGiocorn@rotten-shotgun-games.itch.io · 3d ago

Nobody should be able to play Sonic the hedgehog in any ttrpg. If you can play Sonic, it’s a bad rpg

Unfortunately I’m unable to make it to Gen Con this weekend. Dragon Town and a bunch of drawing guides are at the CRWN Studios booth (2549) though!

First year doing the Appendix N Jam. Lots of fun. Space limitations fried me #appxnjam A fiendish candle has unleashed a wave of cursed wax upon the land.

I’m in Door County Wi and don’t have WiFi or good cell service so see ya in a few days!

My Appendix N Jam submission is up! It's about a necromancer who is creating an undead army of only the beefiest barbarians and statuesque amazons and outfitting them with chainmail bikinis. There's also a sentient giant eyeball and a giant snake.

my entry for the appendix n jam 2026 is done! the healing war is a system agnostic timecrawl (point crawl + time loops) that plays like a puzzle with no set solution. let players jump into an unfinished story from the past and discover what hijinks ensue!

Spectres of Tomorrow by Bear Wizard

Time truly is a flat circle. There’s nothing that makes me think of Dr. Manhattan on Mars more than people’s reactions to WotC/Hasbro. The speed with which nerds will go from, “Fuck Hasbro!” to, “Feed me the slop, daddy!” gives me fucking whiplash.

HyveMynd@hyvemynd.bsky.social · 6d ago

TTRPG folks: "Hasbro is a terrible company!" "WotC is using gen-AI in its products!" "D&D has a stranglehold on the industry!" Those same TTRPG folks: "GenCon D&D keynote address!" "Darksun and Star Wars announced!" "Joe Manganiello's 'Death Saves' Yeah, baby. Let's go!" Pick a fucking side, yeah?

queer-wizard.itch.io/the-haunting... I did it! You can check out my Appendix N 2026 submission here! It's completely free to download and read. It's a depth crawl set in the ruins of the last city on Earth...

So far the Random Tables folder has been mostly weird 5e resources from back when I played it (so at least 6-7 years old). My favorite one so far was, "100 NPC Greetings Volume 1." Why?

Scott@scarvis.bsky.social · 2w ago

Look out motherfuckers, I'm back on my bullshit! Cleared out my MISC and Unsorted folders, and went through all of my 'loose' pdfs. Now I just found a MISC RPG resources folder which only had a few pdfs and then one folder titled Random Tables which has a bunch more. No idea what any of this is!

I also have a bunch of dumb shit where I'll have a folder, but somehow didn't manage to download anything into it, or just have partially downloaded it. So I'm also trawling through itch.io, drivethru, etc to make sure I actually have what I think I do. What a silly little project this is!

Back home and so ready to shower!

I have a sleep study tonight. I did the take home one but it was inconclusive so now I have to have a weird sleep over at the hospital.

Despite talking about it for months and being generally really excited for it, I think I might throw the towel in on the appendix n jam this year. I'm not really excited about the voting/ranking/competitive aspect of it, and I don't really have a lot of inspiration for it at the moment. ⬇️

Maybe I can help. Vaccines are a product of natural sciences that study unchanging physical properties and while imperfect, are the best chance we have at understanding the world around us. Economics, however, is simply astrology for pedophiles

oliver@eikopf.com · 2w ago

very tired of pretending that dismissing modern economics is somehow more reasonable than dismissing vaccines. if you’re not an expert, you don’t get to pick and choose parts of a field to believe! you have no way to tell between legitimate and illegitimate results in that field!

I changed my mind; I'm gonna have a folder for ALL of my adventures, and have subfolders for specific systems and a folder for system agnostic. So all of my Mörk Borg adventure will be in Adventures/Mörk Borg etc. And I'm going to keep the adventures folder outside at the top so it's easy to find.

Scott@scarvis.bsky.social · 2w ago

I'm probably going to try to keep all adventures in the folder of their base system, and have a separate folder for system agnostic. I also have some specific folders for specific creators, which works if I remember who they are and what they did, but I don't always! So maybe moving those too!

My favorite genre of ttrpg adventure is, “What if a place was fucked up?” Like what if a place was really awful, and gross, and nasty, and had a bunch of nasty little freaks and fucked up little guys? That’s the stuff!

I'm reorganizing my ttrpg pdfs and it feels so fucking good
