Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Probably not a new thought, but new to me: RPG rules are to ttrpgs as scripts are to plays and movies. The rules for an RPG are a distinct medium from the experience of the rules being followed, a blueprint that can be interpreted. 030
Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Every time I get halfway through a draft of a ttrpg blog post, a part of me goes "ugh no one wants to hear this". But also idk maybe I should just be posting cuz it can be fun? And maybe like 1 person will say "neat!"? And that is enough?(!) 131

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Hey @thelalocalorg.bsky.social , I'm having a hard time finding any specific stated goals of the Inglewood mayoral candidates beyond general ideals like "transparency". Got any suggestions or resources? 000
Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Finally got @riseupcomus.bsky.social 's His Majesty the Worm. This book is beautiful. The procedures are juicy. And the kin! Actual inventive ideas of known races! I am gonna love reading this a few times 151

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I just finished my first entirely homebrewed campaign and setting as gm. I ran it in #Whitehack over 2 years. It was a weird, wonderful place. The players bought into the deadliness and the heroic potential. They thought about clever ways to overcome deadly obstacles. And I am gonna miss it! #osr 090

It seems that there is a societal pressure to elevate the act of violence as a showcase of empathy more powerful than motherhood. 2516115

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 22/07/2026A random encounter led to a PC's death last night in a game I am running. Lots of great roleplay followed, the party has a new self motivated quest, and the player had a new PC in 15 minutes. I am gonna be chasing this high for a while. #osr #whitehack #evilsofillmire 050

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Running #illmire in whitehack. Players clear their first "dungeon", and it's breezily simple for them due to a lack of enemies and deadly features. High on confidence, they traipse right on over to a hornet's nest of murder and traps. I am so excited to see what humility their hubris will bring. 010

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 26/03/2026Trying to figure out how to translate my #osr campaign setting into something shareable, I am using structures from other modules to see what vibe fits.

Mike @mikerozycki.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Part of the fun of a folk art hobby like ttrpgs is cobbling together something you love by lifting bits and pieces from stuff you love. Timekeeping and the exploration of Illmire. Resource management of forbidden lands. Encounter tables of hot springs. 130
