I'm having fun today working with 3D models in Blender for #Seablight #TTRPG. I learnt how to package a textured 3D model in Blender, import to Unity, and then augment an image using Vuforia. Up next is manipulating bones in Blender for dynamic poses. Animations will be a future 'stage 3' project.

I've made a few one-page TTRPGs, one of which earned an ENNIE nomination. So I wrote a guide to encourage and help others create their own one-page games. Covers everything from generating ideas to publishing online. Make your own one-page TTRPG: exeuntpress.itch.io/one-page-rpg #ttrpg #solorpg

My birthday #TTRPG loot drop: Spire The City Must Fall. To quote @itsquinns.bsky.social, it's time to give the aelfir hell.

If you played TTRPGs between 1970-2004, PhD Candidate Geoffrey Ramirez (Binghamton U) is seeking participants for “Character Creation: The Tabletop Role-Players Oral History Project” as part of his dissertation. Interviews will be archived at the Strong Museum of Play (can be time-locked, etc)

A #Seablight Antilles #TTRPG update: a new look for Governor-Captain Bazl 'Blakbard' Jackson, plus an update for sail-based vessels to remove the 18th century aesthetic still lingering from last year.

I'm testing a new process for flexible character design using Midjourney. I will first create a character in this classic profile pose with white background, then style reference it in future images, along with a unique text code for that character. Here's Governor-Captain Bazl 'Blakbard' Jackson.
