Cops in "Don't publicly support Nazis" Challenge
Odd that we did not see the neo-Nazis and police together at the same time: like Superman and Clark Kent?
The books are beautiful, but I have yet to play it. Too many games; not enough players willing to switch systems frequently.
Thank you.
I didn't get to play Ronin this weekend, but I did DM OSE: the Isle of Dread/The Lost City mash-up. There was the coronation of a new witchdoctor, a stag party and wedding, and a cliffhanger ending of the recently murdered witchdoctor crashing the ceremony all undead and engorged-blood-slug-looking.
It's great to be able to pop a folder into a bag and read it on the tram or the train.
(Purple for Rules, Pink for Adventures, Dark Blue for Setting and GM's Screens, and Light Blue for Sourcebooks: I know the multitudes are waiting with bated breath for this information)
I entered an enjoyable monotropic fugue for a few days after I bought the bundles, and printed them all out, stapled and labelled all the packets of pages, made colour-coded li'l card folders for them etc.
I am very sorry to hear that. You always seem like an ace person, and you deserve greater happiness.
Harsh environment, rough-living hard-working strangers, easiness of unexpected death due to accidents or environmental cruelty AND horrible monsters: that's a cool vibe as suggested by the list of influences.
(Yes, there is Alien Breeds, but it's just focussed on a single xenomorph type species, I think).
Absolutely, but the majority of the material is about simulating various aspects of commerce, logistics and travel. All useful and kind of cool: the flow-chart provides what looks like an engaging mini-game for such activities. But not very horror-supplying. I am surprised at the lack of a bestiary.
It's a sandbox toolkit of admirable thoroughness, but having not played it yet, I hope it is easy to make it fun to play. I wrote about 90% of a post-apocalyptic game, and when I play-tested it a couple of times, it wasn't as much fun to play as I had supposed it would be.
There are odd moments where it seems uncertain of what kind of game it suggests you play it as. It doesn't have many horror elements baked in beyond the Stress mechanic, I think. I plan to play it as a horror space game: like a more detailed and old-school 80s RPG Mothership.
That's the bit of the bundles that I didn't get. I am not much for solo play: I don't seem to be able to do it right. It just turns into GM prep for a future game with my players. I love the modularity of it all. I am super-impressed by the industriousness and thoroughness of the writer.
Added #BPPB to itch as well.
allowing you to make opposed rolls between any two stats, and also have a reasonable chance of any roll leading to critical success or critical failure. It seems neat to me. Probably not at all new. Maybe highly flawed. Any thoughts? #TTRPGs
TTRPG design question: is this a good system for a mid-level crunch game? All scores (ability scores, skill scores, saving throws, armour class, difficulty ratings, and hazard ratings) are between 1 and 12, thus ...
I love the fact that, despite the hundreds of pages of sourcebooks, the Hostile rules are basically "Roll 8+ (with mods) on 2d6".
"After having single-handedly foiled a terrorist plot to hold old ladies and cute puppies hostage, Mr Giuliani ...
I got this bundle and am now obsessed with gritty space travel ending in disaster/horror. Maybe you too could buy it.
Sorry, guys: I am obsessed with the TTRPG Hostile, so it's all about space now.

We all look like that as skeletons tbh
I am 100% certain that I will.

@hbtyson.bsky.social I get my two prints back from the framer next week: I am looking forward to hanging and admiring your art.
There are some question marks too, I imagine, but I wanted to keep my post short and snappy.
It's not too late
Probably a good time to weaken gun control laws.

I have a collection of the early Dr Strange stories: not a single sentence ends in a full-stop; exclamation marks all the way.
Yes, me too: along with DCC, Hostile and Mausritter.
Mork Borg has classes too
Reminder: So far, globally, we've done exactly nothing about carbon pollution. That is what the data says -- exactly nothing. We're right on (slightly above) the trend in atmospheric concentration extrapolated from 25 years ago.
After months of writing, rewriting, editing, drawing, and layout, I am putting my D&D Dungeon Crawl adventure, The Lost Vault of Zarnak, up for purchase on DriveThru! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #dnd #megadungeon
Mork Borg would fit it fairly seamlessly perhaps
Someone reassured me that cults seldom survive a change of leadership, especially when the new guy is award-winningly unlikeable.
It's the 5e resource that I'd like to use (in OSE or DCC). Also, the DD chaps, along with Jill and Joe, seem like absolute darlings.

Certainly nothing bad could come from freeing the eldritch evil trapped behind the stone.
Yesterday was a li'l rehearsal.
Utter ignorance will do that, it seems.

The PM of Yemen has been assassinated. The one country that was supporting Palestinians with action has been attacked by gencoidal regime for months. Imagine if the leader of another country was assassinated by a foreign power, there would be an outcry. Does Yemen have a right to defend itself now?

I will have to content myself with doing a little dance. And breaking out in unprompted laughter from time to time for years.
Seems like something from a Dashiell Hammet story.
Casual reminder that in addition to game writing/design and sensitivity consulting, I also translate Latin and Ancient Greek. Would love to help on some projects that might want things translated in either direction. 💖

I think it looks brilliant tbh: the devs are so thorough and industrious.
So young! Bless your unwrinkled brow.
That's a helpful suggestion but tbh I am more likely to draw a map by hand. I am from the twentieth century. I imagine the Hex Kit could be very quick compared to drawing by hand; I enjoy it though, so that's fine.
Thank you.
I don't know why he didn't run instead of Trump: he's so likeable, well-adjusted and charismatic. * * sarcasm
May I copy the image, please, and make use of it for TTRPG purposes?
Cue gif of Mexican girl saying "¿Por qué no todos?"
I like jamming one adventure into another: I want to run them all. I have both The Isle of Dread and The Lost City, so why not play both at once?
I had the main hub village's witchdoctor, Appok, be a secret worshipper of Zargon, which introduced Zargon to the story and set him up as the main antagonist. He prevents ships from leaving the island, summoning waves & winds to hurl them back. He's a bad egg.
They've been hassled from afar by this demon called Zargon for months. Now they will travel to the mountain where he is said to reside, only to discover a weird, isolated, subterranean civilisation and all the factional fun the module provides.
The Isle of Dread is the setting, but the players are deep into their own goals. A player got married, so we had fun inventing the stag party and wedding customs together. It's all leading to them visiting the big mountain in the north, where they will discover a staircase leading to The Lost City.
I played D&D (OSE): it was great.
Piggy in the Middle maybe? French cricket?
Can confirm; the generating tables for organizing a wavecrawl is worth the price of admission, and thats if youre not immediately taken in by Litch's rotfilled psychic-gonzo setting. Snag a copy of this while you can.
Sword & Sorcery is a pretty popular genre in indie ttrpgs. If you're working on such a project, I am open for commissions! Or these could fit in a "dying earth" kind of thing too! Or you can become a patron and have access to bunch of art I've already made including these! I charge $20/hr
One of my “sleeper” books. Collects some of my most popular art (at time of publication) with some gaming tables for added spice. Call it sleeper cause no one’s ever mentioned it. Has at least one egregious misspelling 😜 5 left. Each of the 5 will include a piece⬇️ perplexingruinsshop.bigcartel.com
Arm-wrestling for the initiative system perhaps? Or hide-and-seek?
We roll d12 for initiative in my games. Why not? You could roll anything, so why not a d12?
I think I agree.
I love being ruled over by an out-of-touch group of over-achieving careerists with no moral integrity.
I hope you have a happy birthday.
It's my berfday
I'd like to retire and do it for free. (Same sort of situation, except I am old)
Ok, let's have a little look at what £25 (or local equiv) gets you in the 4 issue mega bundle we have on sale right now, the perfect way to get up to speed with all things Wyrd Science. shop.wyrd.science/products/iss... First up, look at those covers by the wonderful @matpringle.bsky.social 😍 1/6
His odd item was "boots" and his badge was something like Oakland Outlook on a rainbow background. He wears a kevlar vest on site under his hi-vis vest and overalls, along with a pair of brightly-laced calf-high Doc Martens: an old family heirloom.
I call him Eugene Plumstead, a slightly overly worried and nagging administrator with the thought always at the back of his mind that he is slumming it and in danger, all due to the past errors of his forefathers that lost them the family fortune. He's not all bad.
His most useful attributes in a space-horror situation would probably be his leadership and comms skills, medical supplies and his Stern v90 auto-pistol. His administrative experience and driving license seem likely to be less useful in the face of toxic environments and horrible monsters.
I made my first PC (or NPC more likely: forever GM) for Hostile today. The son of a famous and once-wealthy family, who must work for a living and to restore the clan's fortunes. 8 years as a medical administrator for resource exploration teams has left him 26, stubborn and unpopular with his bosses

No, he has not
Jouri was likely about 5yo when Israel unleashed the latest genocide, @albomp.bsky.social. But the IOF finally got her. Hope you're proud of how your complicity helped enable her murder. Have a nice day. #auspol "Jouri 7yo was killed by an Israeli strike in Al-Mawasi, Khan Younis, southern Gaza."
Any fans of the TTRPG, Hostile, out there? I snagged the bundle of many books recently and am now very interested in the game. I'm hoping it's a fuller, crunchier alternative to Mothership (and judging by the 8 million sourcebooks, it is). #zozer #hostilettrpg #hostile
Won't someone think of the Gestapo?!
It's almost as if the right-wing is more or less 100% full of shit.
Good of Ben to decide who is and who isn't English, seeing as he is not English. Also he is a racist twat with weak hair.
