I've got a special treat today! We organized a collaborative project in @prismaticwasteland.com's discord. Our goal was a hexcrawl project inspired by OVER THE GARDEN WALL. This is the PRISMATIC PUMPKINCRAWL. 31 powderkeg-packed hexes. It's completely free. mindstormpress.itch.io/prismatic-pu...
The 2026 Appendix N Jam wrapped up this weekend, with public voting having concluded yesterday. Congrats to the audience pick! Looking forward to seeing the judges picks. I’m pleasantly surprised with the numbers of my own entry. Pretty decent for a first attempt. #AppxNJam #appxnjam26
The wait is finally over... Here it is, my entry for Appendix N Jam 2026, as well as my first distributed adventure as Vandalorum Press. I think the result I came up with was pretty decent. A great learning experience! Please have a look, drop a rating. Feedback encouraged! #AppxNJam #OSR #TTRPG

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

“4539 tunnels, 256 dungeons, 1 hidden treasure” sounds like the worst megadungeon.
A 1983 ad for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin, a dungeon crawling RPG for the Intellivision by APh Technological Consulting The text warned players that "These dungeons are going to give you the creeps. Getting rid of them is your problem."

Victoria local printmaking studio Print Hole has been hosting Fantasy Fest this weekend, a variety of fantasy events across multiple venues. Last night I stopped by a live set by dungeon synth artist @cliwen.bsky.social and got their awesome album on vinyl. #fantasysynth #dungeonsynth #nowspinning
I generally default towards a Pre-packaged Party-style TTRPG table.
I've been talking about play style preferences lately, but there's another aspect of table culture that I think is a key determining factor on whether a gaming table stays together. Whether you're playing Cairn, Mothership, or Vampire. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/ttrpg-table-...

Dance With Danger by @ibir.cc is jaw-dropping awesome! All the individual elements of writing, layout, map, colour, vibes, etc. come together and play off each other like notes in a song, creating whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts. 👌 #AppxNJam #OSR #Shadowdark #TRPGs
I'm perusing the 300+ Appendix N entries, rating and sharing some of the ones I dig here, so keep an eye on this space if that's your... jam. #AppxNJam #OSR #TTRPGs

A cover for Under the Fourth Kingdom: Pallid Delve Edition, an update to a fantastic solo dungeon crawler by @kerova-archive.itch.io!
Though written for Daggerheart, I think there’s plenty of inspiration to be found in the Knights of the Black Banner, such as the imaginative locations and the novel chase mechanics. #adventure #appxnjam #daggerheart

Yet another game jam entry? Yes! Although this one isn’t nearly as polished as my previous entries. I tried my hand making a depth-crawl for Shadowdark. It’s incomplete but I submitted it anyway for the #mysticwoodjam as I figured it might have a few decent ideas to lift. #osr #shadowdark #ttrpg
The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Jam wrapped up last night. Go check out all the cool entries, including my own! Kudos to @ketracelblack.blacksky.app for hosting it!🤘 #OSR #THEBLACKHACK #TBH10th #TTRPGs
I really enjoyed The Appendix N Jam and was still keen to flex my creativity and hone my neophyte skills, so I was quick to jump on The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Jam by @ketracelblack.blacksky.app 🤘 Hope ya'll enjoy this two-page dungeon I came up with! Cheers! #OSR #TBH10th #THEBLACKHACK #TTRPG

Kind words are always appreciated, especially when they get what you were going for. Hopefully I can to get back into some of my own Appendix N Jam reviews; I’ve been distracted with other projects and RL stuff.
95. Thaumaturge of the Alizarin Pool by @vandalorum.itch.io A system-neutral OSR weird temple crawl ✨ Layout & look really nails that ancient, used book vibe. A constellation-themed vault with little combat, great loot, & the kind of puzzle-heavy traversal that'll make players & PCs feel clever
Did a bit of ‘research’ for this jam yesterday by visiting Francis/King Regional Park. 🌲🦌🍄🟫 #touchmoss
Yet another jam? Sign me up! The timeline on this one is pretty tight though, around a fortnight! Hopefully I can create something decent by then! Ideas have already been percolating in my brain meats. 🧠 🔮🌲 #mysticwoodjam
My zines from the Cairn Press Adventure Double feature arrived! By by @hilandergames.bsky.social and Filipp Nurullin respectively. Shoutout to @yochaigal.bsky.social for working with talented creators and @ratti.bsky.social for handling distribution for us Canuckians.

Rogues in the Manse by @ranarh.bsky.social is a delightful swashbuckling romp and an excellent reminder that Appendix N shouldn't just be limited to the medieval period. I think this would be perfect scenario to run in 17th Century Minimalist! C'est magnifique! #appxnjam
