One of the best things I did last year was join the Designed in the DMV Collective. It's an informal group of game designers based in the DC Metro area. To say I love it is an understatement. The people are awesome and it's helped a lot #ttrpg #gameDesign #localindie #indie www.designedinthedmv.org

level-zero-gaming.itch.io/legends-of-t... Level Zero's first true 1-page RPG is an old-school Zelda-style dungeon-delver! I think I owe the LoZ franchise for my love of fantasy. Before I started working on Arcana, I wrote up a system based on Breath of the Wild, which I never really finished. 1/2

Legends of the Dark World by Level Zero Gaming

This trifold TTRPG requires virtuous heroes, tetrahedral dice, & top-down dungeon nostalgia.

I've been working on a cleaner, more formalized version of Arcana: The Pursuit of Mastery's NPC stat blocks! This is one of the most procrastinated sections of the game lol so I'm challenging myself to create one NPC a day until all 50+ are done! #WIPwednesday #ttrpg #indierpg #dnd #itchio

With the advent of 3D printers, TTRPG players are a very spoiled group. Need a rock? Here's a rock. Need a statue? Here's a statue. Need a chest? You guessed it. Here's a mimic. #d20 #DnD #ttrpg #lootandlair

Lyme has impeccable taste in fantasy orcs. This game goes deeper than even the "cool orcs" approach I often like: it makes your character literally personally responsible for the way the orcs turn out in the classic "wizard did it" situation, exploring the question of creative responsibility.

Something I love about TTRPGs is that once you have even the simplest (potentially free) ruleset and some dice, you can literally play the same game forever. No-one can monetise it or take it away. You can hack it and mod it and write your own content for it so it keeps feeling fresh.

I know this NPC generator is great because the first one I rolled was 'Theodore the minor with a drink in hand' 🤣 🎲🎲Pro tip: you can roll 2d6 for better chances at rolling more 'normal' NPCs or 3d4 for even better chances. With 1d12, you're throwing caution to the wind lol #rpg #ttrpg #rpgsky

So, @edzitron.com ate his Wheatties this morning

LLMs impress the writers who do not want to write, the coders who don't want to code, the researchers who don't want to research, and the lawyers that don't want to actually understand case law. Those that desperately tell you how powerful Al is and that you simply must use it are looking for you to validate their own laziness or distaste for effort, and those who are impressed with LLMs' outputs tend to be people with low standards.

How I’ve Been Pronouncing It (Feat. Foghorn Leghorn, my… roommate?)

Comic. I’m at my desk, leaning over to the doorway, saying “Hey! Foghorn! Foghorn Leghorn! Get in here!”
Foghorn Leghorn is walking past the doorway, “Boy, I tell ya, I tell ya, not so loud, boy. What, I say, I say, what d’ya want?”
Next panel, I’m gesturing to my computer. “How do I find that really good manga you recommended? It’s an anime now? I keep getting Halloween costumes.” Foghorn leans over my chair, “well, boy, I say, I say, you ain’t typin the entire title.”
Last panel, I turn around- “you said ‘witch hat.’ Foghorn gets in my face- “open your ears, boy!! ‘Witch Hat Atelier, I tell ya! I tell ya ‘Atelier,’ I tell ya’”
