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

• Star Trek Adventures (convention one shot) • Wraithlands (currently playing) • Tales From the Loop (currently playing) • Blade Runner (I recently ran Case File 1 for one of my groups)

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.

Jag känner igen det där. Meeeen … jag har haft kollegor som jobbat i evigheter på samma arbetsplats som definitivt inte haft stenkoll på någonting.

I got to flip through a test print @nohr.se brought to GothCon this past weekend. This game looks friggin’ amazing!

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.

If you look closely, you’ll notice that the entire thing is printed in different shades of grey. There’s apparently no 100% black or 100% (technically 0% black) white used.

Det gör du rätt i. Det är en skön blandning av gamlingar och kids på Spelkongressen. Alltid roligt med återväxt i hobbyn.

(Sorry for the crappy alt-texts. I was sitting in the waiting room at my dentist’s. Will update later.)

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.

Ja det gör de, och det är troligen tredje lördagen i oktober liksom tidigare år. Troligen.

Wildheart is one of four adventures included in the campaign “The Saga of the Black Star.” So, yeah, the original adventures will be remastered for Dragonbane.

Yeah, couldn't agree with you more. Ugly spacing is the worst. I rarely use the default InDesign settings for character and word spacing, or, when setting justified text, even character width (which some designers consider a big no-no). Even in my weirdest layouts and designs, the text is sacred.

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Thanks for the kind words. But don't forget Christian Granath, who came up with the actual graphic design of the new Coriolis. I will only take credit for the layout and slightly tweaking the typography.

You're not fooling anyone. I've met you. You're three snotlings in a trenchcoat.

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

Listen to my old friend talk about the culture of Swedish TTRPGs.

Have a great time! Wish I could have gone, but it wasn't in the cards for me this year.

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

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Yeah, of course. Spider-like demons and otherworldly entities can keep their mandibles and compound eyes for all I care.

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

I *think* I have edited out all the “mandibles” in Free League books (sometimes, I don’t even tell them), but a few occurrences of butt-venom had to stay, regrettably.

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 21/11/2025

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.

Yeah, Antonio De Luca really is an amazingly skilled artist.

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.

We're glad to have you. I'm assuming you'll be located in Stockholm. So if you'd like me to show you around town, and introduce you to everyone and everything, just let me know.

<pedantry>That would be *graphic design*, not layout.</pedantry> Sincerely, someone who does both for a living.

I’m from Sweden. I have no idea how to interact with strangers without the social lubricant that is a slight inebriation.

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 02/08/2025

Congratulations! It really is an awesome, imagination-tickling, and useful supplement.

Dan Algstrand 🇸🇪 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ @algstrand.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Also: Regular expressions (GREP) is an amazingly powerful tool. Not only for search/replace, but also for GREP styles imbedded in paragraph styles applying character styles to certain words ‘on the fly.’

That way you can change settings in the top style, and the changes will affect all styles below it. This has made my job a lot easier. Need to change the typeface/language/text size? All you have to do is change one style.
