Hey gamers, I wrote a Lovecraftian horror dungeon in 2 pages for the Appendix N jam this year! Give it a read and rate it! Lemme know what you think! #appxnjam #osr itch.io/jam/appx-n-j...

Rate Waterbearers of the Wastelands by izzyDotPNG for Appx. N Jam 2026

The final day! We're out of RUNE, REAP, Corvid Court, and Dragon Slayers. Grab things while you can! Booth #268

Now that I've read and rated 60 of these Appendix N Jam Bad Boys, here are just some of my favorites in no particular order. I'll probably make an App. N post-mortem that goes more into criticism at some point. I would run all of these.

The time has come for voting! Show this spooky Tomb-Ship some love! #appendixnjam

More development on my currently untitled Star Trek Cairn hack. I think this might be one of the hardest problems in the design of this game to solve (besides Space Combat, which always sucks in every game). #OSR #TTRPG theweepingstag.wordpress.com/2026/07/27/t...

Redoing some of the art I have for my horse mafia adventure, modeling the style after Darwyn Cooke. Not quite happy with emulating Cooke's stuff in digital, but I think with a few layers of semi-transparency I could get pretty close. #OSR #TTRPG

Darwyn Cooke Study, practice for an adventure I've been working on for half a year at this point. This seems like a much more promising direction for the art. #OSR #TTRPG

A lil' blog about my Star Trek-inspired Cairn hack. No rules public yet, but lots of theory in here. #OSR #TTRPG theweepingstag.wordpress.com/2026/07/21/s...

Some Sort of Star Trek: Cairntrek and Appendix N JAM

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane look at some kinda gross stuff! Deathbringer is ENWorld's most-anticipated RPG of 2026, it's currently raising hundreds of thousands of dollars, and also the marketing is kinda full of misogyny. magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/07/the-...

What makes an rpg cover great? Lots of things! We are spoiled for choice in rpgs. So, this week, I thought I'd show off 15 recent and lesser-known favorites w/ commentary. Let me know your favorites! I want to do a part 2. www.explorersdesign.com/great-book-c...

Cover inspiration from across the tabletop rpg industry.

Final Draft of this cover. Got a new job today too, so it's a good day. Anyone have suggestions on how to render trees in digital? It's a huge pain. #osr #ttrpg #art

Draft #2 of my App. N cover. Now to finish rendering. Ship inspired by a cover of Samuel Delany's Nova, and the Galileo. Not sure what the plot is, but I feel like not knowing is in the spirit of pulp. Can you spot the OD&D references? #OSR #TTRPG

Mockup of my Appendix N cover. Digital oils are so time consuming ;----;
