Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Me explaining why I enjoy writing Cyberpunk TTRPG stuff 030
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 10/02/2026I think I'm setting the right goals for myself. 2120
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 20/01/2026Random rolled traits of tonight's Mork Borg character 191
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 15/01/2026There's a lot of people in the quotes worried about Wikipedia content being used for AI now. Sadly, that isn't really new. Almost all content on Wikipedia is published on a free use basis. You've always been able to do whatever you want with it, including use it to train AI. 180
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 15/01/2026One of my favorite pieces I've found browsing public domain artwork. Look at the little bugs on their procession 😍! 180
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 08/01/2026I wrote an adventure for Ronin about exploring a once great castle that's been overtaken by Yokai. Discover the secrets of Castle Katsutoyo with your party and take the castle for yourselves... Or die trying! 060
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Mayb my favorite thing so far is the birds. Space is filled with blight, a lethal disease. But these special birds ward it off. So when exploring space, you want to bring a funny bird with you. I find this fresh both conceptually and aesthetically. 110
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025I like the art a lot immediately. The gold and black looks really nice. 100
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 31/12/2025Today I'll be reading Coriolis the Great Dark, so impressions to come! The concept is immediately appealing to me. A dying civilization in a hollowed out asteroid needs to venture into space ruins to find a way to get their civilization back on track. Adventure ensues, neat! 140
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Working on some layouts for an adventure for a Ronin session. God bless the public domain and free fonts! 031
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 10/12/2025I read through mutant year zero +mechatron yesterday and today. This is the first post apocalypse game that has really grabbed me. I like the premise of mechatron the most. Playing as worker robots gaining sentience and questioning "why do we work?" Sounds very fun to me 150
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Overall, I'm very excited to run this game. I'm a fan of Mork Borg already, and Ronin does a good job of taking the mechanics and darkness of that game and remixing it for Samurai fiction. 2191
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Unsurprisingly, the monster pages are lovely, and the starter adventure at the end seems like a great way to start. That's the one area where I wish readability was a bit more of a focus, the GM running it probably would actually need to reference that at the table. 130
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025The leveling up portion is a bit whatever to me too. "When it is earned" is a fun way to answer the question "when should the characters level up" but gets a little too close to "draw the rest of the owl" type advice for me. 140
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Death and resurrection is very interesting. Seppuku is included as a mechanic here as a way to restore honor. A character can perform it once. This is coupled with another mechanic. The first time you die, you go to yomi and have the opportunity to fight a demon to return to life. This is cool af. 120
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025These consequences are cool because they feel supernatural in nature, and are meaningful, but not so harmful that the character is completely cooked. Something like this one where you leave footprints is cool. It's a problem in stealth situations, it feels thematic, but you can still play the game. 130
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025I like honour sysem. Instead of having a single code of honor, each class follows their own creed with unique tenets, or you can make your own. Acting against your tenets costs honor, going above and beyond your tenets grants honor. 130
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025I'm a function over flash person for layouts, but Mork Borg and similar games get away with it because: 1. The games are simple, less need for referencing the book at the table 2. The layouts are so good! Beyond being beautiful, they tone set for the types of games the system is built for. 150
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Today I'm reading Slightly Reckless Games' Ronin! I ordered a copy yesterday, but it came with a pdf, so I'll be digging in today. Right off the bat, the page layouts are lovely, as is to be expected from a Mork Borg inspired product. 171
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 17/11/2025I had a lot of fun making the picrews for the NPCs in this one :) (Picrews used: picrew.me/en/image_mak... and picrew.me/en/image_mak...) 020
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 12/09/2025I've been working on some homebrew ttrpg rules for when it's my turn to run for our rpg group. I decided to make a homemade physical core rulebook I can hand out to the players. It was a lot of fun! 171
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 24/07/2025Tonight, our donation campaign for Point of Pride hit my goal of $1,000. Meaning including my match and my company agreeing to match up to $1,000, we will donate a minimum of $2,200 to support gender affirming care for trans people by the end of the month! 2256
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Today I made cake pops for my sister's baby shower! 2270
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 01/05/2025Excited to announce that I'll be hosting a Fire Emblem/SRPG Map making game jam in the month of May! Whether you're new to map making/rom hacking or a veteran, I hope you'll consider making a map and have the chance to win prizes! Details in reply 😄 3299
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 21/04/2025I forgot to post this here! Some future thumbnail art by the excellent @cearav.bsky.social 1374
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 12/04/2025We went with very very very very dark brown instead 5190
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 06/04/2025As of a couple months ago, I've come to the conclusion that I am nonbinary. I suspect I may develop a preference for a particular set of pronouns eventually but for now I am using any/all. 8841
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 24/03/2025I still have a little bit to go, but I feel like I've seen enough to recommend Sacred Stones Reforged. It's a very fun reimagining of FE8. It feels like the developer went in with a goal of "There should be no boring units", and I think broadly, they succeeded! 2111
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 07/03/2025A couple shirts I got at the thrift shop today! 190
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 05/03/2025I agree, but I really like his casual fit at least, it's low key kinda sick 110
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 05/03/2025Heath is becoming one of my favorite fe7 units. He comes right before a bunch of training maps and by the end of them he's totally jacked. Very satisfying growth unit. Plus I like he hair 3160
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 24/02/2025I really enjoy this scene in Awakening. It's a little heavy handed how Basilio just sort of explains the themes of the game, but him having avoided detection because Validar believed he was dead is really fun. Plus he's so cool 😎 2333
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 22/02/2025Some new wardrobe additions I'm excited about 3180
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Playing the rom hack Dream of Five and my favorite character so far is Tricia! While weaker than some of my other units, she has the swap movement command and convoy access. Fun, unique unit! 2170
Sage the Lizard @actuallizard.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Really love the portraits @aarongeddon.bsky.social made for a romhack contest. Oracle is so cool! 2265
