In October, a new OSR "シンジュク・ダンジョンTRPG(Shinjuku Dungeon TRPG)" will be released from Japan. Explore the underground of Shinjuku in Tokyo, which has become a dungeon. ※In fact, Shinjuku Station's underground area is vast and confusing that it feels like a real dungeon.

The Bar At The End Of The World, our upcoming Interlude, features a TTRPG of the same name specially designed for this episode by @byconniechang.bsky.social! 🃏 Inspired by games like For The Queen, May You Fish In Interesting Times, and The Home We Remember, we see grief in the cards — and love.

A screenshot of black text on a white background. The text reads: “How to Play. Step 1. Pick an Emblem and shuffle its decks together. Step 2. Draw 1 card per person at the table to form your starting hand. Anyone may mulligan as many cards as they’d like, but they must keep their new hand. Step 3. The GM describes the bar at the end of the world. Step 4. At any point, anyone can play a card by addressing its question to the GM or another player. The asker decides if it’s in character or not. Either way, the target answers honestly. The asker discards 2, including the question card, and draws 2. If someone plays a card that’s also in your hand, or if you draw a card that’s already been played, you must discard it and draw 1. Step 5. The game ends when it reaches a natural stopping point or when there are no cards left to draw, whichever comes first. You can play a Joker to ask any question from any deck. You don’t have to discard a Joker if someone plays one.” A screenshot of black text on a white background. The text reads: “Emblems. The Hermit: [Guest Star] You draw from the deck of hearts and clubs. The Star: Lumièra. You draw from the deck of diamonds and hearts. The Hanged Man: Xainan. You draw from the deck of spades and diamonds. The Chariot: Seir. You draw from the deck of clubs and spades.”

It has a very interesting structure for 1-2 hours "sessions", with the GM offering roughly 2 obstacles (with complications generating extra obstacles) and then the players get to do their own thing (a bit like down time in other RPGs). We managed to do two "sessions" in the one-shot.

Hey folks - please share this far and wide. A dear friend is organising a digital charity zine with "messages of welcome and resistance". She's inviting responses of all mediums: written, visual art, audio, etc, messages of kindness and welcome to folks seeking safe harbour on our shores (1/3)

Call for submissions: Charity zine for migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. Deadline October 20th. “A Stranger is Just a Friend We Haven’t Met Yet” Messages of welcome and resistance. Convened by Selina Shaw: selinashawstories@gmail.com / @shawberrytart on ig. Islands, including the UK, are crossing places in the sea. We have a role and identity as islanders to uphold. We dishonour our heritage and our ocean by denying arrivals to our shores. Coasts are a gift that let us take in new life. That comes with the responsibility to give safety. We are a nation of harbours and lighthouses. “A Stranger is Just a Friend We Haven’t Met Yet” will gather messages of welcome for migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers, sharing kindness, joy, and protest against brutality. It hopes to tell our friends that they deserve a home with us and xenophobes that they don’t speak for us. All art forms welcome, as long as they can be digitally captured. Simple greetings and letters are also encouraged if you aren't feeling creative. In support of Refugee Action and the RNLI. Out of love for our island and our friends.

This article is about tabletop RPGs in particular. But. I have been playing through the Mass Effect games. Currently like 2/3 through Andromeda. And I am often struck by how often the worldbuilding is compromised by having to be a game about shooting guns at acceptable targets of violence.

The original post ulitlised hyperbole and sarcasm. It is belittling to have a whole medium being minimised to its most popular example. Other than CLANK, all the games are TTRPGs or TTRPG-adjacent (Gloomhaven is a dungeon crawler). They literally wanted to say TTRPG and decided not to. 🤷🏻

The original post has a clown emoji to indicate a degree of sarcasm. But then you mention that general bookstores are allowed to miscategorise things. After that, the argument has drifted away from the accuracy of my original post.

They have "Boardgames", and some sub-categories such as "two-player boardgames" in the shop. I don't act like a contrarian when you explain why games with procedurally generated levels and permadeath shouldn't call themselves rogue-likes because I know it's something you care about.

It does say Rogue-"like". They're just name dropping Rogue as it's the biggest, most popular & most famous system to help people find the section. I agree that "procedurally generated" or something would be better, but I totally get why they're using Rogue's name here. It's really not that deep.

I've been wondering what to do with the mosaic works I've made for TERMINUS once I'm finished with them. I'm not sure yet, but it's given me another idea... How daft would it be for me to make a (very limited) number of mosaic coasters to offer as fancy add-ons in the backer survey / pledge manager?

A sheet of mosaic tiles. Horizontal stripes of varied colours are separated by rows of white. Shadows cut across the piece at an angle.

Sprigs and Kindling is out and it's all about the analog horror of Public Access! I've added a short contribution about UK nostalgic items, in case you want to play a former exchange student, or just a nerd for UK things. sprigsandkindling.com

The cover of Sprigs & Kindling 4 (part 1, as this is HUGE). A old television in the trees, showing a flickery image of a black and blue grid, some mountains, a pink sky and a sun burning through. You know the kind of 80's nostalgic image, sure you do.

I got into trouble for saying this before, but beyond the indie scene, the TTRPG industry is full of cishet white male gatekeepers deciding who gets published and/or has visibility at conventions. 🤷🏻

I don't know what US designer needs to hear this, but Nordic larp is not an excuse to psychologically damage your players and call it art. That's not Nordic larp. It's also deeply unethical. If you're going to make a harrowing game, please PLEASE learn what the aftermath for the players can be.
