My excellent friend Matt, of the Dungeon Master Diaries #shadowdark podcast, has created this gem of a link library on the Arcane Library Discord. Discord is trash for finding the most valuable bits of knowledge and insight, so this is a real treasure! discord.com/channels/558...

Here is a great question about Shadowdark monsters that came up in the Facebook group. I answered it there and I'll repeat it here because it touches on some elements of the games design and internal rules.

And just when I thought I was done with Kickstarters for a while… www.kickstarter.com/projects/ale... This looks way too cool not to jump on, and while I (a snob) am usually turned off by DTRPG physical fulfillment… this is too good to pass up, and my dumb country has necessitated this compromise.

Ok, this one amazed me too. I did NOT expect her to turn out this stunning. I need to practice the scales on her tail, but yeah, VERY chuffed about this one. #Mermay

Just saw this post on Reddit where a guy makes this 2.5 paper minis with cardboard and sticker paper and the results are so impressive.

Ben, as usual, is 100% right about this. It's about doing the right kinds of prep. The right kinds of work. You set it up, and then basically the game runs itself. No weekly preplanning! No encounter building! (That's how HIS MAJESTY THE WORM advocates for you to run it.)

Education and art are ALWAYS worth investing in— whether that investment be time or money. If you can’t buy from an artist (things are getting tight for everyone, I get it) consider spending some time on them. Talk up their work. Show other people. Help the artist leave an impression. Make a mark.

I won't lie. I was feeling pretty proud of the title for this week's Explorers Design article. It's a deep dive into how my old Mausritter campaign evolved into a Pendragon, Wanderhome, low-fantasy, post-apocalyptic epic. Let me know what you think! www.explorersdesign.com/haus-rules-f...

I want to get back to drawing more stock art. I'd started making thing I thought would fit into the usual fantasy adventures and it's really fun to examine all these tropes and come up with my own version. #osr #dndart #inkdrawing #ttrpgart Like this one, The Way Down:

I’m finally working on my Practical #Bookbinding tutorial. Here are some pictures that will go into it. I’m currently working on the spine. I’m kinda proud that this binding lies flat and uses few special tools. #DIY #OSR

still don't have energy to do a lot of ttrpg stuff, but I'm back to editing public domain art I feel like things look a bit less dated if you cut them out of their original context enough (all from this guy: artvee.com/artist/johan...)

Everyone always assumes OSR is politically right wing coded but the fact that it’s constantly splinting into factions that most disagree on terminology is actually incredibly left wing coded
