There's a bit of a debate at the minute here in the UK as our next generation of banknotes are going to have native wild animals on them, and what animals should make the cut? What animals would you put on your IRL location money and/or the money of your games TTRPG setting?

ExoMars rover targets vast bed of clay in search for life

In the region where the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will search for signs of life, clay deposits extend beyond previous estimates, a new study finds. One hypothesis even suggests a vast ocean once...

Note: We do not use AI. Period. We pay humans to create our games, end-to-end. Adobe recently implemented a feature that quietly injected AI alt text into Umdaar. We've removed it, updated the PDF, and disabled the feature. We apologize for the error, please download the latest PDF. Also: Fuck AI.

One technique I advocate is just sprinkling in cool sounding names to a campaign with no actual lore behind them yet as texture and seeds for future development. What is the Weeping Mountain of Xand? The Bearskull Princess? The Ghostdrinkers? Absolutely no idea, but we can find out together!

Every GM has sat down with a notebook or some overpowered worldbuilding software, and started creating the campaign setting: A ten-page history of a city the players may never visit, ruled by a duke they may never meet, built on the bones of a civilization they may never ask about. #TTRPG #RPG

NEXT WEEK. A story of siblings torn apart by the apocalypse and the things we choose to say when time is running out. Starring @taylorannnx.bsky.social and @drtalksalot.bsky.social, and filmed on-location by @maorinerd.com.

EUphoria's logo at top centre, a round yellow frame with navy blue background, and a large shooting star made up of yellow d4s streaking from right to left, a yellow tail trailing behind. On either side, the names Taylor Navarro and Khalil Thirlaway.
Heading reads 'The Time We Have' 
Taylor's headshot is on the left of the frame, taking up the whole bottom portion, similarly, Khalil's is on the right.
In the background, we see a closed door, its frame dividing the background into two halves, the white of the door and the black of the wall. The image is mottled with something foul and growing. 
Heading at the very bottom of the page reads 'Wednesday 20th May 7pm BSt / 8pm CEST, twitch.tv/EUphoriAP'
