A little #OSR ish drawing for the night. Sometimes you go shopping and spot a little something extra.
A pink-haired woman with a yellow dress spots something in a corner window as she shops. She's already loaded up with sacks of fresh supplies.

The "Valley of Lune" by @hilandergames.bsky.social, won a place in my heart, and on my shelf: a perfect fit right between @josephrlewis.bsky.social and @weirdwonder.bsky.social's Cairn adventures! Once they've fixed wild Lune and its feys, demons & clockworks, PCs can even call the valley Home!
The cover of "The Valley of Lune" by Hilander, a 48p zine for Cairn and other Old-school RPGs. 5 stars!

@thegeekchef.bsky.social wrote an excellent procedure for developing multiple governments, and determining how they relate to eachother. The result is enough to inspire without overloading. I tried my hand at creating a district generation system, as well as some lite nav procedures.

My creative moods and my desire to play games are subject to the whims of my general health and mental wellness. I am on day four of a cold, and am ready to renounce all social hobbies forever. But I'm not going to do that, because healthy me gets bored easily.

Shading > Polish feels a bit "rest of the fucking owl." I would be curious to see the substeps there! Or what considerations you have after that shading step.

Filipp did an amazing job with St. Jerome, and I love the premise behind it as well. An interesting dungeon to slot into just about any campaign in need of a miracle cure.

I'm in a rural area with very few players, so getting a steady game together is a challenge. Hence a lot of online games, and growing frustration with VTTs. These days I do android/windows. I've heard good things about Facetime, but the hardware can be a cost barrier for some folks.

Clayton makes a great point here that I think a lot of people dont realize. People pay attention when all you have to say is negative. You are digging yourself a grave made of your own discontent- the internet isn't actually a good place to complain.
