"The kind of world that mainstream TTRPGs are too afraid to publish"??? Brother you are not even brave enough to give the Kreen a second pair of arms! At least WOTC does that! You are literally more cowardly than the corpo mainstream!
dog idk how i tell you this, but "no warning label" is a warning label. i love this project has to warn people there won't be trigger warnings so they don't get triggered
UD REEEEEEAAAAAAAA

You cannot design a game against bad faith just like you cannot cook a meal so delicious it teaches diners how to be polite
Rereading old blog posts, and Grognardia reminded me of this essential truth: "don't design rules with bad players in mind. Any rule, no matter how well written, can and will be abused by players looking to find a way to take advantage of a situation."

Yesterday @toucantsam.bsky.social had a hoot of a post on HP as a roll-to-move mechanic and I wanted to see how far that metaphor could extend! tbr.bearblog.dev/a-roll-to-mo...

15 years ago when Apocalypse World was new and people were beginning to understand and work with it, it was seductive to look at "acting under fire" and see, not one basic move of several, but the template underlying all the game's moves. Like @kierongillen.bsky.social 's classic gag:
wow this cover is peak appendix N
Who doesn’t love some Sword&Sorcery? Turns out loads do, which poses a challenge titling new collections of such #Fantasy stories. Cora Buhlert looks at the 1st of 2 anthologies called Warlocks and Warriors, today’s edited by L. Sprague de Camp, & it’s a good un! galacticjourney.org/september-28...

We even ended the chapter with a kaiju battle! This is peak Pulp Cthulhu
Finished the London chapter of Masks of Nyarlathotep. If we didn't use the Pulp rules to avoid certain death, @diceless.club's character would've died. No one has died. Two characters have retired. Peru and New York are also done. 15 sessions in. At this rate, we might end it in 40-50 sessions.

Ea-nāṣir Must Die! has a release date: 13 October 2026! We are collaborating with @plusoneexp.bsky.social and @davidblandyrpgs.bsky.social Copy/Paste Co-op for a full release on both digital and physical. An OSR (Mark of the Odd) adventure for 3–5 players set in Ancient Mesopotamia! #ttrpg #osr
i was actually in tears after watching this last night, like legit i cried ugly during the frozen lake dialogue
I reviewed TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA, a movie that struck so close to my heart I found it hard to put my feelings about it into words. Weird, personal, intimate, sleazy, and beautiful. www.patreon.com/scumbelievab...

I surveyed 200 players and learned that most OSR games fall into two tiers of lethality - Meatgrinder and Picaresque. Table culture determines lethality more than system or campaign length. valerialoves.com/how-deadly-i...

Just published a devlog of my Appendix N. submission - Craters of Kerameikos. It discusses the main inspiration of the module itself, recent happening that moved me to write this, a little rant about the current situation here in my country, and inspiring words for you to be a creator!
