An 8.5” x 11” sized zine printed with “The Hobonomicon #5” near the top. The cover features an illustration of female figures along with disembodied eyes, tree branches, and occult symbols.

Also shown is a printed sticker drawing of a horned skull holding a D20 along with the text “Are you feelin’ lucky?” and a signed “Packed by Chaos Lord:” label signed by a staffer named Marvolo.

Got my Netcrawl bundle from Horse Shark Games. It’s a cyberspace hacking RPG based on the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG system. Based on the catalog site I expected to only get the print books, but I received the PDFs and backer bonus items (poster map, character […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Mail call! Scientific Barbarian is sort of an unofficial supplement to Mutant Crawl Classics, primarily written by the author of MCC. I love it when folks compile their zines into collected volumes. Zines are great, but paying international shipping for them isn’t fun. #TTRPG #DCCRPG #MCC

The cover of Scientific Barbarian Annual No. 1 by Mudpuppy Games. A technologically advanced knight is shown flanked by robots on an orange background. Text reads “Featuring the first four fantastic issues in one collectible codex!” The bottom text reads “Post Apocalyptic Roleplaying Megazine.”

My players should assume that this is what every NPC in my Mörk Borg campaign looks like. #TTRPG #MorkBorg

A surreal portrait by William Mortensen titled “Belphegor” (1930). It shows a smiling man with lank brown hair, dressed in burlap. The man’s face is lumpy and disfigured, with a broad flat nose, warts, etc.

After a brief sojourn at my parents’ place, I got my books from the Weird Heroes of Public Access RPG crowdfunding campaign. I got the hardcover digest-sized book, original zine, various zine supplements, an adorable mini GM screen, an original painting by the […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Interior of the Weird-A-Thon Program Guide. My contribution:

George Willikers, host of G. Willikers' World of Trains

A jovial but tweedy middle-aged man takes viewers on a narrated tour of his extremely elaborate and ever-expanding basement model train diorama.

It appears that his basement has been grown via a number of rickety and almost certainly illegal expansions, and his constant excavation is certain to get him in trouble one day.

Catch-phrase: All aboard for FUN!

Got a D&D throw blanket as an early b-day present! I also have one with the Elmore Red Box basic D&D cover artwork, but my Mother in Law has basically appropriated it for her own use. Not for the artwork or gaming connection, she just likes the softness and thickness. #DnD #TTRPG

After a brief stay at my parents’ place I got my loot from the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG Peril on the Purple Planet crowdfunding campaign. Looks good, and the slipcased hardcover Tomes of Adventure is probably beefy enough to stop a small caliber bullet. #TTRPG #DCCRPG

An array of book covers, including a slipcase set of four Tome of Adventure books, a Peril on the Purple Planet GM screen, stretch goal packet, player’s guide, art book, and backer-exclusive bonuses.

The slipcase set shown from the side, containing thick hardcover books of compiled DCC RPG adventures.

Got the HeroQuest First Light boxed set as an early birthday present. Sort of a prequel starter set to the main game, with ten original adventures, different figures, etc. MUCH more portable than the main set, so this will probably get played much sooner. It’s a […] [Original post on dice.camp]

Finally, I got the Barbarians of Lemuria Mythic+ Edition core book from France’s Ludospherik Editions. Hardcover like my older DTRPG print-on-demand Mythic Edition would have been nice, but this is sturdy and the art and layout are both improved. #TTRPG […] [Original post on dice.camp]

It fulfilled about 13 months later than originally promised, but my numbered Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG dice box from Dirty Woods arrived and is extremely nice. Handmade, cherry wood, magnetic closure, built-in dice tray, Spider Lord’s Lair artwork on the front […] [Original post on dice.camp]

In the third SLA Industries session of the year we managed to safely exfiltrate a scientist and his family from a rival company research lab. Charm, climbing skill, electronic jamming, and high speed driving got the job done without gunplay or bloodshed. #TTRPG #SLAIndustries

Tonight in session 22 of my Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG campaign, the Heroes of Hirot will continue exploring the Citadel of the Emerald Enchanter. Please enjoy this low effort meme I created for the group. #TTRPG #DCCRPG #DCC

A comic book panel showing Spider-Man confronting a mad scientist in the form of an anthropomorphic pterodactyl. Spider-Man’s word bubble reads “You can rewrite DNA on the fly, and you’re using it to turn people into EMERALD STATUES? But with tech like that, you could cure cancer!” The villain responds “But I don’t WANT to cure cancer, I want to turn people into EMERALD STATUES.” (The unaltered panel originally read “dinosaurs” instead of “emerald statues.”)
