Our Wednesday afternoon OD&D game is on hold for a couple of months so I'm running A Dungeon Game in the slot using my Dungeon23 megadungeon. Here's a play report from today's session. asr.bearblog.dev/a-dungeon-ga... #ttrpg

I meant to do another one of these a lot earlier, but I didn't have the time or energy and now I do so I'm gonna. This is how my otherwise very classically OSR game has no levels. And really, its mostly @loottheroom.bsky.social 's idea, but I took it to the logical extreme.

I heard people like polls and clicking things and voicing their opinions, so I've just posted an update to Blood In The Margins where you can tell me which of my potential cover designs you hate the most. #ttrpg www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

#ZineQuest is a stressful time for us indies. My own game is still a long way off from reaching its funding goal & I'll be honest w/o your help to spread the word I'm not sure if we'll make it. But I'm not the only one! Let's highlight some kickass zines that need loving. Feel free to add your own!

Thread of games I've backed for Zine Month / ZineQuest so far! I'll do my best to come back and add to this as the month progresses and my budget gets smaller and smaller. Thankful that Pocketopia on Backerkit is in March as that's a whole separate paycheck 😂🖤💖

Make sure you are tuned in to @euphoriaap.bsky.social tomorrow night to catch the first part of CALPINI. I ran it for a group of amazing players and we had such a great time. We are funding through until the end of February for #ZiMo #Zinequest! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fis...

Hivemind! I'm looking for examples of games where list-building is FUN* or interesting. This can be any game (RPG, Skirmish, etc) where you - the player - are in charge of a group of characters and get to pick/choose their class/equipment etc within set parameters. Lay it on me.

Honestly, at 2.50 a pop, that's a pretty generous deal. But also, everything Chris has done is good, you can't go wrong with whatever you get

In preparation for writing Blood In The Margins I'm reading as much dark academia as possible. I'm interested in two branches of the genre - the "reverse murder mystery" (think Secret History and If We Were Villains), and "magic school" books (Babel, The Scholomance). I'd welcome recommendations. 📚

It's Saturday, and I'm still running a big sale over on itch. That means you can grab THE THING FROM THE SWAMP, my b-movie inspired adventure for @morkborg.com, for just £3. That's basically stealing it. loottheroom.itch.io/swamp-thing

I'm doing a lot of reading for my new Wretched & Alone game and then writing updates about how that reading is impacting the design of the game. Here is the first one.

In the present, sometimes you stoop down and then jump up, holding a little bit of clay and shout, "Look! The stem of a disposable clay pipe! How cool!" In the future, it will be exactly the same, except with elfbars.

I think it's time for another little thread on A Heist Game, for my own pleasure if no-one else's. Let's talk about Luck. In classic OSR games, your HP grows with levels and allows you to withstand the punishments of the dungeon. Thieves don't take punishment the same way, you need to get lucky.
