We lost our first PC in our Stonetop campaign last session. Mama cave bears are no joke. RIP Oen. #stonetop

My buddies at Limithron have a kickstarter launching in about an hour for a huge set of cool maps and a book of roll tables and adventure seeds based on them for Pirate Borg. There are also kickstarters for Pirate Borg minis and even a skirmish miniatures game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zAO...

If any of my ttrpg peeps have extra copies of the Legend in the Mist free rpg day items, I am looking to get copies.

I got my kickstarter copy of Stonetop yesterday (pic is not my actual copy), and I just wanted to commend @plusoneexp.bsky.social for the excellent packaging! The books were swaddled in so many layers of protective padding. Even the corners of the box were reinforced!

We watched Backrooms last night. That was... something. Very affecting. Glad we saw it but I left the theater feeling queasy and slightly untethered from reality, both of which took a while to wear off.

I ordered some miniatures from this place called The Dungeon hobby shop, and they came with a flier for a game called Empire of the Petal Throne, which I bugged my parents to buy for me for Christmas.

I posted this on reddit, but thought I'd share it here too. These are my "Portfolio Shelves". All of the games on the shelves to the right are ones that I have edited/proofread/localized. I'm looking forward to Outgunned: Superheros and Twilight Sword joining the crew.

Weird GaryCon story. My friend Roger and I listened to the "When we were Wizards podcast on our 12 hour drive from Alabama up to Lake Geneva (if you are a TTRPG nerd, well worth a listen). They talk about the first TSR offices outside Gary's house, calling it the "Old Gray House". (continued)

I love everything Mun Kao does, and I think Kala Mandala is an exquisite little gem of a game with a unique SE Asian flavor and very cool dungeon adventures. Check it out if you like non-euro-centric RPGs and interesting OSR-style dungeons. Highly recommended.

What are your top 5 TTRPG settings? Here are the five I keep coming back to: 1) Doskvol, from Blades in the Dark 2) Vimary, from Tribe 8 3) Gloam, from Shadows over Driftchapel 4) Innistrad, from Magic: The Gathering 5) The Known World, from Artesia There's a definite dark/gothic theme in there.

Had a fun session of Mythic Bastionland last night. We had our first two Knightly deaths, but the company also resolved their first Myth by defeating a stone colossus that had been rampaging through the mountains. This game continues to be so easy to run after some minimal initial prep.

I'm excited for this RPG! "It’s folk horror set in the dying fields and forgotten hollers of Depression-era America. A land of dust and desperation. Of ghost trains and crossroads devils. Of sin-eaters, juke joints, and something ancient stirring in the soil." www.backerkit.com/c/projects/k...

My weekly TTRPG crew is voting for our next game. I gave them 6 options: Daggerheart, Kala Mandala, Mythic Bastionland, Cairn 2E, Cloud Empress, and Pirate Borg. As the GM, I'll be happy with whichever game wins, they are all so good!
