Fuck ☹️

First ever D&D game with the kids today....they're not even 5 yet! Caverns of the Lizard King was pretty dangerous, but a good use of sleep spells took care of the sentry guards and the Baselisk...

NEW: Tuesday’s News Agents. Elon Musk is already one of the most powerful men we’ve ever seen. We ask why much of the media isn’t talking more about the dangers of his getting more powerful still. Listen now. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

Ignore the click bait title: this post is great. Sofinho searches for a winning blog post.

3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 99! The party's conversation with the Beacon's resident therapist becomes unnerving in a very short span of time, but the AV Club is determined to meet her strict standards. After all, who else is going to explain all this science mumbo-jumbo? #OSE #OSR #TTRPG Links below!

3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 97! Delve 6 begins with a tiny goblin in a very big space, as Mort investigates the bizarre technology arrayed before him. A slumbering metal dragon presides, its tantalizing promise of flight spurring the AV Club's search for the means to wake it! #OSE #OSR #TTRPG Links below!

The Annales Cambriae, or ‘Annals of Wales’, is a collection of Latin chronicles covering the years 447–954. In it there are some fascinating accounts of a certain King Arthur…

Could not have said this better myself. It is a must-own. If you’re a 3d6 DTL fan and enjoyed my depiction of the dragon Craas in our Arden Vul campaign, thank Skerples, because I pulled it straight from this book. 🐉

To mark the year in role-play, @polygon.com asked folks in the industry about the best TTRPGs they played this year. Grateful for contributions from @itsquinns.bsky.social, @jeffstormer.gobirds.online, @brotherwisegames.bsky.social, @aavoigt.bsky.social, @johnnystantoniv.bsky.social, and more.

I’m grateful he addressed this. I’m so sad to see him go, but I appreciate his reasons.

From peanut farmer to President - it strikes me that Jimmy Carter was the right kind of political ‘outsider’. news.sky.com/video/share-...

For his most beloved of prey, he shaped an acorn crown from a branch of the first tree “You will be king when I am gone” whispered the Green Man, bending to place the crown upon the Stag Such is one tale told by the quiet people of the wood, those known as the Deolings #Dolmenwood #ttrpg

Indeed...

We've kicked off our Dolmenwood campaign with the Waking of Willowby Hall by Ben Milton. A classic adventure from the get-go. Whimsy, a little horror, a touch of lovecraft, and plenty of pace. More food for the Nag-lords table! #ttrpg #Dolmenwood

Nativity scenes are just Warhammer for Catholic moms

Another early ttrpg work, Fifty Bastionards, for Electric Bastionland by Chris McDowall. I love this setting because you can place any kind of weirdness in its streets and it will fit anyway. Would love to do more of these, or do NPCs like these for other games. roque-romero.itch.io/50-bastionards

Multiple trees down in the only road in and out of the Garw Valley this morning... #stormdarragh

Got our second government storm darragh red weather warning...at 2am! The roof is shaking like mad up here in the Garw Valley. #stormdarragh

Hellebore is a small press magazine devoted to British folk horror and the occult. Picked 'em up for some spooky Yuletide reading. Really enjoying them. Good scholarship with digestible ideas and beautiful layout.

I run #OSR #RPGs for kids (I'm currently running #Shadowdark). I'm constantly amazed by how "dungeon crawling" lives in the zeitgeist of kids. I made this #dungeon door flowchart to help with procedural play and fill in some gaps, which will ideally be expanded into a #zine or series of pamphlets.

3d6 DTL Arden Vul Ep 92! Having secured unusual means to cross the lake, the party explores hidden grottoes and paths less-trodden. Structures loom out of the fungal canopy, hinting at lost secrets. Does one of them lead to the legendary "Back Door" of the Halls? #OSE #OSR #TTRPG Links below!

I decided to try writing a bestiary. Everyone else is doing minimalism, so I thought I would try maximalist entries. But, you know, like, *useful* maximalist. goblinpunch.blogspot.com/2024/11/the-... #osr #ttrpg #bestiary
