Exporting today’s designer diary. 4k takes so long to render and upload, probably switching to a 1080 workflow since there’s no need for 4k in these talks. #rpgdesign #ttrpg #osr #indiegamedesign #tombrunners

I know there are thematic implications for the invader pieces in Spirit Island being plastic, but wood looks, feels, and reads so much better on the table. Going to replace the blight tokens next, maybe just a simple grey wood piece for them. @rericreuss.bsky.social #spiritisland

Honestly the coolest thing about being a writer in the age of AI is that it's going to make everyone else's writing so much worse that I'll just seem like a genius in comparison.

Love this piece, the concept was a gelatinous cube as a D6. It's going to look so good in print #osr #rpg #ttrpg #rpgdesign #tombrunners

Playing on an emulated Everquest server and its just as exciting and fresh as when I first played 21 years ago. The world is just so big, mysterious, and dangerous. It's the OSR of MMOs.

Tomb Runners is a rules-lite narrative OSR dungeon crawler. If you'd like to get a copy of the playtest send me a DM and I'll send you the PDF. Would love to get some more feedback from folks going into the next phase of design and dev. #rpgdesign #gamedesign #ttrpg #rpg #osr #tombrunners

Today's work on Tomb Runners: Tomb design tables, names, and cleaning up monster and encounter tables. The goal is to have simple tables to inspire creative dungeons and encounters that are exciting and flavorful for players. #rpgdesign #gamedesign #ttrpg #rpg #osr

This is Tomb Runners! Tomb Runners is a rules-lite (for real, <1000 words for gameplay rules!) narrative OSR dungeon crawler. It features a non-binary D20 vs static DC chart, build your own class design, and mechanics that reinforce player skill based play. #rpgdesign #ttrpg #osr #osrdesign
