GMing is great! I'm playtesting a module with my local RPG club. I was worried that I didn't know if the players would ever find a way around the exact situation I wanted them to be in. Luckily I'm not the one that needs to come up with solutions, and a player had a really smart way around ...

This week I decided to redo all the art for Verdant because why not. It's been a fun process so far, even though it will take me forever to finish it now.

There's been a post going around on Reddit about the reality of using platforms like Kickstarter and BackerKit. And I think it's very important for independent creators to realize a couple of things before they get started with those platforms. So here is a free post on my patreon about those.

I have a Danish proficiency exam coming up later this year, so I figured I'd study some TTRPG vocabulary with this Rosetta Stone here. The notebook I printed myself. It uses the cover art of Praise Mboikangue because it rocks.

I just released a little side-quest for #shadowdark #ttrpg based on a popular early 2000s e-mail chain going around in Brazil. Drop this letter in a dungeon and enjoy the players reactions! It's free to download and licensed under creative commons through ibir.itch.io/dont-read

Red barbed wire to the left with the following text to the right over a light paper texture:
Don't Read! A 3rd-level side-quest
A letter found in a dungeon could spell doom to all who read it...Don't Read!
WARNING: Names and dates have been anonymized to protect the identity of the victims. Rewrite them to adapt to your campaign setting.
Written by Vince R. Pinton, Ibir Publishing
Designed for use with Shadowdark RPG

Handout 1 - The Letter
Paper texture with the following in a handwritten font.
Don’t read. Don’t read. Don’t read!...You were warned! If you have read this far, it is too late.
I’m sorry, but I received this letter as well. Read the message and don’t ignore this, please!
My name is Zulmira. I am 14 years old. Or would be, if I were alive today. I died at 13, near Goodwheat. I was riding my pony when I fell into a ditch next to a building lot. The worst part is that the owner of the lot simply laughed at me as I bled to death, tangled in a coil of barbed wire. Through this letter, I hope that you can help me rest in peace.
Copy this message with blood-infused ink and deliver it to 10 other people within 10 days, or I’ll visit you, and you will meet your end with the same barbed wire that killed me!
On the 5th of Soultide, William of Lake Hope laughed at this message and vanished without a trace. The same happened to Samara of Diamantine, and she was strangled by a snake the day after.
Don’t break this chain, please!

This weekend, I played in a MÖRK BORG tournament with ~50 players trying to reach the heart of Hell in 2,5 hours with as few deaths as possible. The grim reaper patrolled the tables, flail in hand, feeding slain PCs’ sheets to a shredder. All GMs had corpse paint. We didn’t win, but it felt like it.

My notes on Trump's claim that to make up for corporate losses after Venezuela nationalised oil in the 70s, the US gets to take all of the oil reserves. Trump doesn't need democratic excuses for regime change anymore. All it takes is for a US corporation to have lost a dime due to nationalisation.

I have never seen anything more impotent than the EU right now. The US just invaded a nation for its own financial benefit, murdered dozens, disappeared the de facto leader, claimed governance and the oil - and has openly said Greenland is next, and our leaders are here going "oh well yeah haha"

It's great when you go from "I have more space in this page!" to "I need a bigger roll table for exploration finds", and suddenly you have a roll table for the historical origin of random dungeons, then you need to really write down what happened 10000 years ago in your setting.
