I'm surprised this paper‑clip method for tracking things isn't more widely known. It's not my invention (I don't even know who to credit), but I've always liked it and used it in a few projects. Here's a generic counter I made almost a decade ago. ^^

Um mockup de um contador genérico. De um lado, um clipe de papel marca as dezenas, do outro as unidades. Há a ilustração de uma criatura estilo lovecraftiana ao centro e o exemplo de preenchimento mostra os pontos de vida de um personagem chamado Muad'Dib.

I wrote a post about keying, and how it's weird that we don't have a name for all the various styles! Note: this post is not about the best kind of keying (though my preference does exist). It's more about naming the thing so we can discuss the thing. newschoolrevolution.com/the-keys-to-...

My day job consists largely of reading adventures and providing feedback. And while I've read hundreds of OSR modules by now, I still don't have a good way...

🔥 Watch this discussion with Shannon Appelcline to learn about TSR's unpublished ED (educational) series of D&D modules. I've known of these for a few years but this is a great overview of a lost piece of TSR history. The part on the ED modules starts at about 32:30 ⤵️

I've been digging into the pdf (instead of working) and, no surprise, it's great. It's the kind of setting that gets me excited to referee a game. It has 30 pages (so far) of places and situations that makes you want to grab 4-6 buddies and play ASAP just to see what they'd do.

I ran 'The Seers Sanctum' by @directsun.bsky.social today for a plucky crew of adventurers, using Dragonbane. They solved some puzzles with guile (and luck), got in a tight scrap with a goat demon, and succeeded in getting wealthy with treasure. Highly recommend if you want a clever #osr one shot.

Since stepping down as steward of Big Bad, I’ve focused on small events, what I call housecons. No flights, no hotel, communal meals, and scheduling that is either very loose (let’s play some games) or fully scheduled in advance (welcome to SeanCon, here’s your itinerary). My thoughts.
