Community is complicated. Especially when we turn to the internet for it. This is a very personal article. It's me musing on my past experiences, my beliefs around organizing, and why BlueSky—albeit great in many ways—is not a community. And that's okay. www.explorersdesign.com/gaming-commu...

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)

Daniel Dean taking down his blog in April sucks. If you haven’t read it, should do so now. Maybe he will change his mind.

New Post: Control Weather Should Not Be a Spell How a single spell holds back an entire field of magic plus a new character class (Tempestarius) that can control the weather and also gets a storm cloud stronghold (This is for today’s blog bandwagon. Y’know, “elements” as in weather) #osr #ttrpg

Hopping on the blog bandwagon to talk about elemental damage types - the classics (cold, fire, and lightning) & the oddballs (acid? thunder?)! I present some ideas to give unique mechanics to each of these damage types, as well as suggesting in what situations & against what creatures to use them!

Forever player advice: Published bestiaries are for DMs - bring a journal or at least a few sheets with spaces for drawing monsters and describing where you found them, how they acted, and other notable stuff. Make up a name for it and refer to it by that name. #osr #playerculture

Review: Roguelike Megadungeon - a neat dungeon creation toolbox using a fun buckets-of-dice-drop method. Part of Zine Month '25 by @proton31.bsky.social I read it and wanted to use it immediately, always a good sign. seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2025/02/revi... #dnd #zinemonth #ttrpg #diyrpg #osr

The early OSR had a OD&D/B/X as a shared "game" that allowed us to focus on other things: we invented (rediscovered) play styles; innovated w/ adventure design; and did rich settings w/o lore dumps. When we made rules it was hacks and sub-systems. We got a lot of NOT focusing on games as a whole.

I've created a feed that will hopefully hoover up #Inq28 chatter here on BlueSky, the more indie side of Warhammer and friends. Trench Crusade, Mordheim, Inquisitor, Turnip28, Necropolis28, etc, etc. If that is your jam check it out.

What are some questions you like to ask during TTRPG character creation? I usually use these 6, but players can answer 1 or 2 or all or none. Tell me something they: Are good at Bad at Love Hate Want Fear And when I remember: "What's in their pockets?" and "What's their favourite song?" Yours?
