I'd be interested in putting together an itch games bundle for the Good Law Project, but I've never done one before. Anyone with experience who could give me some tips?

Ugh, picking a name for a game Naming things sucks

SUMMER FOR A BETTER WORLD Hey folks, we've decided to extend the Build a Better World RPG jam until the end of the summer. Three more months to build community, explore our creativity, imagine a better future via games itch.io/jam/build-a-...

New post about my retro science fiction game. BIG character name tables, some thinking out loud about character types, motivations & jobs. monstermind.substack.com/p/creating-a...

Not sure if it's a Turnstile summer yet. It is hot though. Time to turn the new record on again.

Anyone want to try this out and roll some d100s?

I need to do a great Conan the Barbarian read through for research. I know Red Nails was the first Conan story, but any must read stories I ought to check out?

Pared down to 334. This is hard.

I want to try out the name tables for my current WIP: a Vancian retro sf ttrpg. Roll a d100 on this table: 01-70 FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME 71-80 FIRST_NAME FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME 81-85 FIRST_NAME 86-90 LAST_NAME 91-95 TITLE LAST_NAME 96-100 TITLE FIRST_NAME LAST_NAME And then give me a d100 per category.

Does anyone know how to get access to old things written in Apple Notes? I seem to have deleted or written over something, and it’s really annoying tbh

In case you didn't know, I make monthly themed TTRPG art assets for my Patreon, for personal and commercial use with attribution. $1 gets a character vignette, $5+ gets a full set. Like the look of these and would like to support my work? Consider becoming a patron today! patreon.com/penflower_ink

I wrote a script to generate names. I have 400+ names to pare down to a 100 good last names (inspired by Jack Vance). Walbergence Waldenfroe Walmer Wamp Wart Wartice Waunderwood Wegnarr Weskadduc Widdersen Wildinck Windlesno Wistlews Witz Wolleran Woodking Woof Wrimonder Impossible to pick.

"It's really hard to fathom that the guy making my pizza for 25 years is a gangster and a terrorist, and the person who shows up in an unmarked car wearing a mask and body armor comes to take him away is somehow the good guy” www.wnep.com/article/news...

Usually these kinds of videos go up BEFORE a game is published, but I think the end result was worth the wait... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz4v...

I have one life hack: Annotate your cookbooks

10.000 hours? Aint nobody got time for that 1000 fans? I’d rather have a dozen weirdo peers

Oh no, I found a local ttrpg meetup, but they meet on a day that's almost impossible for me to attend :(

I had a lovely day with my neighbours planting around trees all around the neighbourhood, a 'burenplantdag' around 15-20 people showed up, I had my 5 year old help out, very nice to meet people I didn't know yet, and make our area a bit greener

Stravagante: Gigante! the updated expansion to my whimsical fantasy adventure TTRPG is officially available over on itchio and print-on-demand! penflower-ink.itch.io/stravagante-...

For the #TTRPGManifestoJam I converted my blogpost to a zine! The Five Laws of Roleplaying Games: 1. Roleplaying games are for play 2. Every player their game 3. Every game its player. 4. Save the time of the player. 5. Roleplaying games are a growing organism. jimmyshelter.itch.io/the-five-law...
