Last night I ran a session of Forgotten Odysseys for friends and we had a blast! I've played MÖRK BORG before but never GMed. When @badeye.bsky.social & @brokendoorgames.bsky.social put the game out I knew this was a setting I wanted to try! I had so much fun GMing a PC carrying around a ladder.

A black and white drawing of four characters, all in various basic Greek outfits. The one on the left is holding a ladder, the next has an impressive cape and badge of office, the next a long spear and a patch over one eye, and the last a shield connected to an arm cut off at the elbow and an arrow sticking out of an eye with a small owl perched on it.

Reddish orange background with 5 hexagon cut outs to reveal the cast faces. Above the images are the words (from left to right):

Under each face, from left to right, are the following bluesky tags:

The cast image for archmageofdice has the tag “GM” on the bottom right of the photo. Each bluesky tag has a dog head silhouette behind it.

I have a question for TTRPG creatives, especially those of you who have used creator kits in the past when making 3rd party products for a game you like: What do you want to see in a creator kit? What's most useful to you? Anything you frequently see and don't find useful?

The downside of using discord for work is that you can't do things when it's down. That's why they call it a downside.
