I can't believe it took me 22 years to realize the giant mirror in Dracula's ballroom in Van Helsing is an ACTIVE SECURITY MEASURE to detect humans and — especially — vampire hunters within a crowded ballroom. Mirrors as active security measures for vampires... yeah that's getting used in a ttrpg.

It’s been about a month of my kids passing back and forth illness and ear infections. I’m beat. Usually we get hit with the back to school illness factories, but never this bad.

I’m a comics guy at heart. I’m cool with changes and adaptations. It’s just part of the game and as long as the writing is good? I’m along for the ride. I’m hot and cold on Lanterns. There was some really good stuff there and also some… not.

I’m not a Warhammer guy, but I always thought it was pronounced “40k”, as in the number “40” and letter “k”. But I’ve been hearing folks call it “Warhammer Fourty Thousand.” Surely that can’t be correct. Right?

Indie publishers/designers, what do you consider fair royalty rates for publishing someone’s stuff, if the publisher pays for printing, handles storage, distribution, sales etc, but the designer does all creative work. I wanna make sure my deal is good for the designer but don’t know the benchmark.

I bought this Superman sketch cover last year and finally got around to doing something with it (By the way, these are all real DC characters)
Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew, including Captain Carrot himself, Rubberduck, Pig-Iron, Yankee Poodle, Alley-Kat-Abra, and Fastback. They are all looking shocked at something off screen.Super-Squirrel, basically "what if Superman was an anthro cartoon squirrel," busting out of chains a bit like on that one Neal Adams Superman cover.

A bit more time today lets me redo... MÖRKTOBER DAY 1: GOAT The RITUAL GOAT MASK is a powerful relic, granting a BOON and BANE to any who dare wear it.
The legendary relic, "RITUAL GOAT MASK"

The image depicts a dark skinned figure wearing a flowing dark gray cloak, holding it open for all to view the secrets within. On their face they wear a yellowed goat skull and around their neck a silver amulet depicting some astrological-adjacent symbol with horns. The figure stands before a pink background.

In yellow mismatched text, "RITUAL GOAT SKULL" and "as shield."

Underneath, a yellow title reads "RAM!" and a white subtitle states "GIVE 'EM THE HORNS!". The BOON grants the wearer the ability to "when winning initiative, deal weapon damage +2."

In bold pink text, the BANE reads "stubborn." The descriptor text, in yellow, reads "cannot hide or flee from foes"

In the upper left corner in yellow hand-written text, "Morktober, ARJECU '26, goat"

VANIA is really just trucking along, spilling all of my brain and creativity all over the page. This was originally supposed to only be a 25ish page zine, but we're sitting at 60 pages currently and I could see it easily pushing 70. I keep rewriting to get terser text, but still. It's a lot!

MÖRKTOBER DAY 1: GOAT A quick, last minute entry for the day. The GOAT MASK grants a boon and a bane to any who dare wear it. (In retrospect, I would have named them differently. 🤷)
Legendary artifact known as the goat mask. When worn, treated mechanically as a shield, grants a boon and a bane.

The boon is “charge.” When winning initiative, deal +1 weapon damage. Probably should have been called “ram”. Whoops. 

The bane is “stubborn.” Cannot hide or flee from foes.

To the left of the image is a tanned figure wearing gray hood and robes and a silver amulet with a rough depiction of a horned figure within. On their face they wear a sunbleached goat skull.

Are there any TTRPG marketplaces that are not using Gen AI in some capacity? I just want to sell my games. I don’t want to support, in any way, the soulless slop machines. I’m just so done with this garbage. There are times I consider packing it all in and this is one of them.

I applaud the no-AI stance of Roleplay Cafe. I think many of us in the TTRPG scene do. But then you sully that goodwill and stance by using Gen AI to code your site. That will always read as hypocrisy. I’ve seen many pro-AI folks argue that their use is legitimate, you’re doing the same here.

I think it’s good that (most) everyone has taken a swing at their own fantasy heartbreaker. It really dives deep into the type of systems you enjoy and helps you figure out what it is about a specific genre of play you enjoy (or don’t.) If you’ve not made one, do it! It’s great!

100% I’m in the camp that if you want to be a better player, play with lots of different groups and GMs. If you want to be a better GM, run for lots of different players. Everyone brings something unique to the table and it’s way too easy to get stuck in a specific way of play.
