There Comes a time in any RPG designer's life When they must decide What terms Are Capitalized. Now is That time.

Telling someone D$D should be their first RPG is like telling someone a model-T should be their first car

Tarot-based systems: are they the RPG design equivalent of playing “Stairway to Heaven” in the guitar store?

Me changing the term PC to OC in fish out of water is a little like Steve Buscemi’s, “hey fellow teenagers.” But I’m trying.

Wearing mine right now! LEtN rules. More Cronenberg shirts, please?! and if you can do a McMillan shirt from Patriot I would buy at least one. That’d be Double-great.

In exactly one month I'll be flying home from (what I hope to be) a fun and successful Gencon. Hope to see you there, folks. Stop by the Burning Wheel booth (#2703).

Lots of interest, but still looking.

This is for a print book. Video games are trash.

About the scale of a tourist map. Abstract so you don’t need to do like a Google Maps level of accuracy. Email works (contact page on my site) or Mementomoritheatricks on Discord

It just needs to be a two page spread of the city and an island. Doesn’t have to move. Doesn’t have to tile just an illustration using pixel art in a final fight/streets of rage/street fighter style.

Jared A. Sorensen @jaredsorensen.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

This is for a book! It is a 9 x 12” wide spread. A top down or isometric view of a fictional West Coast city… And an island! Depends on the style of art, whether I do top down or not the inspiration is the zone map from final fight, the old arcade game.

The problem with trying to make something nobody's ever seen before is that "nobody" includes the person making it.

Parsely: Cursed Island and Schism 2.0: The New Flesh are now available in print. They are... very different. 🏴‍☠️ 🧠 memento-mori.com/books/cursed... memento-mori.com/books/schism...

Mike, I only ever buy one RPG (max) at any con I attend. Was at Pax Unplugged this past weekend and picked up Tourist Hole from the "Weird Indie RPGs" booth and it's delightful. 👍🏻

I am nearing my “post-quality” phase. You’re not saving lives, you’re making role playing games. Don’t be precious. Start. Finish. Do it again. Get shit done. #stopplayinggames #startmakinggames

Hey Nerds. Print version of Black Lipstick and Schism 2 going up this month. PDF of Schism 2 will be up this week. Doing another quick RPG this month. It’s weird and won’t be fun to play.

Created a new term: Dysperience. It's the inverse of Experience (XP), tracking a character's degradation and accumulated failure. Gained from setbacks and bad decisions, it forces negative effects like injuries or reduced stats, driving an intentional downward spiral.
