Look at these fantastic spreads and tell me you don't want this game. Tania and Johan are absolutely killing it.

Hosting the 6th iteration of the mini TTRPG convention MunkCon in a 17th century building in the old town of Stockholm. In a brewery/beer hall. Best way to spend a lazy Sunday.

Bought some new TTRPGs today. The D&D Starters Set because I like starter sets and wanted to see how WotC tackled it. Memento Mori because it looked cool, and some of my favorite Italians (Two Little Mice) were involved. Marvel MRPG because Matt Forbeck.

So I’m going to do the layout for Free League’s take on Trudvang. Which is extra fun since that was the first TTRPG I laid out back in 2000.

The Troubleshooters is full of energy and easy going fun. Looking forward to running it over the weekend for the first time. #GROGMEET

I need more TTRPG creators to follow. What are your favorite writers, designers, and artists here on Bluesky?

PSA to all fantasy TTRPG authors: Spiders do not have mandibles (they have chelicerae). Nor do they have compound eyes (they have “simple eyes,” ocelli). Nor a venomous stinger at the end of their abdomen (that’s where the spinnerets go). Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Here's what I've been working on the past month (typography, layout, and pre-press). As well as the twin book for the 5E version, of course.

I would have loved to keep every Mythic Carpathia vaesen on single spreads, but it was impossible. When just the text for a vaesen fills two pages, there is *no way* for me to fit the text *and* the image on one spread. 1/2

It always makes me happy when my layout work is appreciated.

Why, oh why, did I not go to UKGE? Everyone seems to be having a great time. And I do miss shooting the shit with British game designers over a pint or ten. Oh well –* maybe there’s a Dragonmeet in the cards for me in November. [* Non-AI generated en-dash.]

QFT. If I’m stuck doing layout, not being able to get the spreads just right – I work on something else. And while I do that, my brain ticks away in the background, finding a solution to my problem. Nearly every time.

It's amazing (and by amazing, I mean bad) how people who follow and interact with a bazillion of trans gals that actively make OSR stuff and are in their 30's, keep insisting on making long rants about how it is exclusively a scene of old bald bearded man in their 60's and shit

I'm sure by now you've heard that KNOCK! #5 is live on Kickstarter. And like the 4 volumes before it, it's jampacked with #osr goodness. And somehow they've squeezed another of my articles in too: a most unusual merchant, in a most unusual conveyance. www.kickstarter.com/projects/896... #ttrpg #nsr

Apparently this needs to be repeated: TERFs and transphobes can fuck all the fucking way off! All of them, generally, but particularly one of them.

People are finally receiving their Realms of the Three Rings/Keepers of the Elven-rings books – and a lot of them point out how gorgeous they look. And they do! The art is maybe the best I have ever seen in a TTRPG (❤️ that Galadriel cover). And, if I dare say so, my layout is not too shabby either.

I will most likely be found with my Kartell buddies – or transporting a cup of coffee between different parts of the convention.

While working on the coming Starter Set for The Lord of the Rings™ Roleplaying, it was decided that the character sheet needed updating. I’ve tried to fit everything regularly needed during play on the front, leaving the back mostly a bunch of extra space. Available soon(ish) from freeleague.com

Spring has finally arrived in Stockholm! Today I found the year’s first bumblebee in my garden. A buff-tailed bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) queen.

So, I did the graphic design, layout, and prepress for what may very well be the tiniest TTRPG in existence. The Keyring RPG, second edition, conceived, written, and translated by @devilkitten.bsky.social. More pictures in the comments.

A reminder that this entire Trans Panic thing is just another shitty step in a long history of fake panics completely invented by political hacks. Trans people are very likely not affecting your lives at all and they certainly are not the cause of any problems on a national level. It's BULLSHIT.

I designed a new logo for the band I’m in. Here as a vinyl application on my bass drum. (We needed to add ‘Stockholm Soul’ because other bands have tried to claim the name. But we’ve been playing under this nome de plume for fifteen years now.)

So I’ve committed layout again. The penultimate installment of the epic campaign ‘The Throne of Thorns’ for the Ruins of Symbaroum RPG from Free League publishing. It contains two three-part adventures: ‘The Darkest Star’ and ‘Mother of Darkness.’ Pre-order with beta-PDF available now.

This little bit of praise (in a review of the Path of Glory campaign for Dragonbane) made me happy. I try to lay out books that are easy to use at the table – and it’s always nice when someone notices. akhelas.com/2024/11/15/r...
