Reading The Slow Knife by @mousehole.press and impressed by what a good example this is of what @megueyb.bsky.social refers to as ritual in game text in her blog, gently guiding the reader through each step. lumpley.games/2021/12/30/r...

Cover of The Slow Knife. Three conspirators holding knives are controlled via strings by a puppet master above them.

Hooked on Pirate Borg right now and asked my GM a question. If Devil's Luck says you can "Reroll ANY die roll", can you use it to reroll the d6 for gaining HP when levelling up? My GM was kind enough to say yes. I wonder if this varies stronlgy per table.

rules page of Devil's Luck states five ways to use it. One being "Reroll ANY die roll".

The Dolmenwood Campaign Book has one page per hex. Each has a minimap centered on that hex. I've been playing since summer, but only just realized that each of the six surrounding hexes on each minimap hyperlink to that hex's page. You walk through Dolmenwood by tapping hexes. 🤯 Great design.

I'm always looking for ways to make our open RPG Night more transparent. I've made a GM profile for players to leave reviews and let new players know what GM style to expect. A regular player Mate just left this review. I don't need any other accolades XD startplaying.games/gm/peterelroy

Mate left a 5 star review, saying: "Peter has killed me at least seven times already, and I'd happily do it again!"

It's christmas time! 🎄 🎁 My eldest daughter grew up seeing this 8 bit link amiibo around. She did not know the character, but she recognised the cross on his shield. So she has always said that this was jesus and I never had the heart to correct her. She knows now, but the association remains.

In Flights of Fancy, the scourge has gotten out of hand. It has entangled with much of the forest. And the forest became a part of it. Bow, the forest floor is like a velcro ready to suck you in, and the magic of the wood is showing some worrying changes.

If you're familiar with Feathertail Falls, you will know about the dust bunnies; the pocket lint scourge that is overflowing from the human world and into the forest, entangling anything on its path.

A bird holds a bunny head made of pocket lint in its beak. On the floor there is a whole pile of these dust bunnies.

Argenta is one of my favourite characters of Feathertail Falls. A powerful sorceress, she bitterly works to erase all magic of the forest, including herself, In an attempt to undo the mistakes of her past. Her partner Ora cannot bear to lose her, but feels powerless against her determination.

Argenta the silver owl sorceress and Ora the golden eagle guard; lovers encircling eachother. The sun is on Ora's side. The moon is in Argenta's side.

Can you see a specific shape in the opening between the canopies? It's an easter egg. Answer in the alt text. Hi-res here: maxphilippi.com/Feathertail-... We'll update this campaign guidebook to incorporate Flights of Fancy.

A gliding mouse above you glides across the autumn canopies, framed by the sun. The opening in the canopies is subtly shaped like an owl, ominously flying over the mouse as a bird of prey. It is Ora, the silver owl sorceress. In the bottom right corner of the opening, blowing leaves form the shape of her watchful owl eyes.

For Flights of Fancy we played with a new card type; species. Want to be a bird? Just swap out body parts. You can play as a different species or as a shape shifter. Beaks and claws are natural weapons until you hold something with them. And some armour won't fit. More to come.

Let's talk items. First up; the flow staff! You can see it in the trailer. The flow staff folds in to fight and out to fly; both in the game and on the sheet. But it's weaker than most heavy weapons. All illustrated items have mechanics on the back. Never look up a magic item effect again.
