To those unfamiliar to PH Komiks lore, this is a what if of a Wonder Woman-esque PH hero died and their powers taken by her Medusa-headed archrival. Ala Doc Ock to Superior Spiderman. Pushed to do good in a town lacking of such forces. Good fic to check.

Amazing time playing under @goobernuts.itch.io! Had a chance to try his WIP Mangayaw - Folk Hero Edition. And it is looking good. We delved into @munkao.bsky.social 's Deluge at Drizzle Distillery. Managed to free the CEO, find a legendary item, and had Rain God duke it out with [Redacted] God.

Good news: I'll have more time to work on ttrpgs, aside from playing/running them Bad news: it's because my contractual work had an abrupt end So back to the unemployment hole I go

One of the inspirations for A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy is Samurai Jack's future, when the quaint past and bustling future blurs to give majestic sceneries like this.

I will blog about this eventually, but I wanna say: Root RPG having no Defy Danger-like move or any D20 save-equivalent move is one of the best version of PbtA I've ran and played. Arguably best PbtA design evolution. It also made a bad decision of doing Weapon Moves gated by equipment tags.

Current #ttrpg #brainfart musing: build a cyberdeck that's just filled with TTRPG pdfs and resources, designed to be in-session usable. Adventures, hexcrawls, random tables, character options, etc. All offline usable. That's a hefty dream.

Running two different Root RPG campaigns simultaneously is as draining as it sounds. But it is fun to generate the woodland, and make plans behind the scenes 😉 Here's two Woodland maps of each campaign's current set. Lake map players are already making ruckus. Autumn map players just starting.

#brainfart #ttrpg I'm always fascinate by Pokemon world, where title is a catch all term for monsters, spirits, ghosts, and gods. Somehow humanity has established ways to pet and train them to be companions. And eventually technology to catch them and "lobotomize" moves out of them.

If you interested in my #RPGSEA tabletop adventure game, Dimawari, then here's a tease. I also talk about why I removed initiative rolls in it. Originally wanted to release playtest in January but instead chose to blog and tease the details first. halfminotaurfarmer.blogspot.com/2026/01/devl...

I intend to post my #ttrpgwrapped for 2025, but I still have a couple of holiday games I wanna include in the count Hopefully before New Year, but definitely after New Year. I also have "the ex I still call" rpg in my bag this year. But I'm just using her to make others play indie games, I swear!

Thank you to everyone who've bought the bundle, every dollar is appreciated. It is a bit short, so I will have to find other ways to get the remaining needed for the repairs. Laptop fan noise is getting more frequent lately, and I should really have it checked soon.

Two games I've recently enjoyed are Mythic Bastionland and Eco Mofos. So I decided to combine the 2. For Part 1, I've put an Eco Mofos Punk in Mythic Bastionland. Unintentionally made a Time Bandits vibe on this one. halfminotaurfarmer.blogspot.com/2025/10/a-pu...

Brewing a new blogpost about Mythic Bastionland and Eco Mofos. A certain element of each game connects them together. And maybe that's enough reason to play both games... together? This will be a two-parter. We'll get back to Cooking Characters series after this, maybe.

Still not fully back to making gaming stuff again - blogs and game dev all in sporadic progress. I've recently moved to a new place and been struggling to get new job. Seeing this has made my month. Always rate the game stuff you read, play, or interact with.
