It's been a while since I've posted here. I have created a substack application for my low fantasy TTRPG setting The Fields We Know. thefieldsweknow.substack.com/p/capturing-...

How many hours do you have for the workshop? Will it be a single session or multiple sessions?

I actually developed a course in World building and I was teaching it to middle schoolers. I'd be happy to share my outline.

One of my favorite fairy tales. I've actually made Lusmore a significant NPC in my #ttrpg. I've been writing a series on masculinity as myth and masculinity in myth. The first is what we tell ourselves. The is second what stories tell us. open.substack.com/pub/artbrill...

It seems self-evident to those of us who understand, but those who take themselves too seriously studying Jung and Campbell tend to dismiss my ideas as "cute"

I've been writing on Substack about how we all have our own myth about masculinity. And about how fandoms create common myths. And how #ttrpg #roleplaying #games are active exploration and development of those myths. Join the conversation. open.substack.com/pub/artbrill...

It's been awhile since I checked in this side of Bluesky! Seems like I've talked my local Arts and Activity Center to have a community game night! Not dissing The people who enjoy bingo, but seniors these days are more likely to enjoy #ttrpgs, #tcgs, #wargames, and #boardgames.

If the stars align, 2026 will be my year for launching my RPG system, setting, and first Adventures. The system is written and just needs some editing. The setting just needs some organization. And my first 32 page Adventure (in homage to old TSR modules) is nearly done.

I understand exactly what you're talking about. Fortunately not all of us old grognards are the same. My youngest player is a trans 16-year-old who plays with their mom and older brother. Ancient Dungeons & Dragons players on Facebook is an awesome inclusive group. But there's a bad clone of it.

I consider the osr generally to be a unified system. Anything based on pre D&D 3.0 is pretty much compatible. And there are some great subcommunities out there such as Basic Fantasy Roleplaying Game.

Looking for people who work with their hands in #Virginia. From #RVA to #757 to #Nova to #Cville and Beyond. I've been turning down work across the state. Home assembly and warranty repair. If you're trying to survive in a #gigworkers economy let's talk.

I'm doing a little bit of screaming into the void here but I'm looking for people who are interested in #fantasy that feels more like #fairytale and #folktale than it does the Mod Eisley cantina. I know you're out there. Let's talk about The Fields we Know this side of the Twilight Border.

Happy Labor Day folks. Today's a great day for all of us indie creators to applaud one another's labor. The physical as well as the intellectual which can often be the far greater percentage. The labor that comes unbidden at 3:00 a.m. The labor that doesn't understand calendars and clocks

Scott Story is an amazing artist, researcher, and author. He I share a great deal of aesthetic sensibility when it comes to how we like our fantasy. Grounded in history, folklore, tradition far more than influenced by modern fantasy.

Good Sunday morning Blueskeets! Lately people have been asking me about my experience as a old school role player who started in 1979. Here's part of my story which I wrote in 2012. It's been quite the journey since Repost and share your journey! #TTRPG mainstreetarts.blogspot.com/2012/04/role...

Agree or disagree? Let's hash it out. I say what old school games have in common are mathematical probabilities, not what direction you approach the math from. www.reddit.com/r/TheFieldsW...

Delightful! I love the Wonder and whimsy don't get me wrong. But in order to not be "in Kansas", you have to have Kansas. That is why my focus is on the fields we know.

I've been on a journey to come up with marketing language for my #ttrpg campaign setting The Fields We Know. I believe there is a place for it and it's adventures in the marketplace. Low fantasy, humancentric, noblebright, classic. Yet I don't think cozy is appropriate. #Fairytales are not cozy.

#Fantasy worlds need to be grounded in the mundane in order for the magical to be wondrous. When you start out at 11, where do you go from there? Has anyone out there read Dunsany? #TTRPG #Worldbuilding

I find that most fantasy campaign worlds most closely resemble the lands that clearly pertain to Faery. There are adventures and settings of aplenty. My creative interests lie primarily on this side of that twilight boundary. In The Fields We Know. #TTRPG #Worldbuilding #D&D #lowfantasy

"Go forth," he said... go in haste, and go from here eastwards and pass the fields we know, till you see the lands that clearly pertain to faery; and cross their boundary, which is made of twilight, and come to that palace that is only told of in song." -Lord Dunsany

It's easy to dismiss the physical world in a fantasy environment that allows levitation and flying, teleportation, and all sorts of means of bypassing physical barriers But I find player versus environment to be one of the most enjoyable things to DM www.reddit.com/r/TheFieldsW...

While the second story wood plank flooring is the newest part of the structure, it is nonetheless over a century old with continuous exposure to the elements. walking without care: 1/6 chance of falling through (thieves have advantage) Running or fighting (roll with disadvantage except thieves)
