I spent years of my life studying how people bury their dead (or burn them, or what have you), and it was nice to revisit that a little bit for my zine The Tome of Tombs. It's not really a tome, but I love alliteration. It may be a sickness. james-holloway.itch.io/the-tome-of-...

I love running sandboxes, but frequently find the tools I have to juggle behind the screen to be burdensome. The text, random tables, the monster manual, the weather...! My solution is to put them all together into a single widget: a Hexcrawl Dashboard! riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2022/03/hexc...

New TTRPG. OSR-y thing where you take damage from every check, how much depends on the difficulty. Explore ancient ruins, fight weird monsters, and pace yourself or charge forward recklessly. kumada1.itch.io/taur

I wrote about the level of detail I put into my keyed locations when prepping a large, original sandbox for play. What is the optimal amount of information to allow for a big picture view of a region without getting burnt out on the specifics?
