I'm co-GMing this Halloween one-shot in Berlin in 10 days and I'm very much looking forward to it. I can bring my weird and get away with it because it's spooky season. 😄 #ttrpg #bircon #birconpresents

With the last pregen done, that's the first pass on the Wolden Quickstart complete! Can't wait to get this into people's hands: rules, setting (small as it's drop-in), pregens, & a full adventure! This will be available for free on the Kickstarter and wherever my reach will take me. #wolden #ttrpg

Calling it a night for today, but I'm really happy with how this adventure for the #WoldenRPG zine 3 and Quickstart has come together. One last pass and it's good to go. It's contemporary and creepy I believe, and very, very open to player agency. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #OSR #NSR #GameDesign #FantasyRPG

Managed to finish the last piece of art required for the new adventure for Wolden Issue 3 and the Quickstart! This will be roughed up in layout yet, and luckily the rest of the art for it comes from the wonderful Wind Lothamer and not me! :D #TTRPG […] [Original post on social.mottokrosh.com]

The #Troika initiative deck from the always excellent @melsonianarts has made it to Germany! Beautiful watercolors on each card. Useful for Troika! initiative, obvs., a regular card deck, or its own little game, House of Troika. #TTRPG #IndieRPG #OSR #NSR

I managed to get some work done on Wolden 2, 3, and Quickstart while on family holiday, but one highlight was the museum of Stéphane Halleux’s fabulous stuff. Inventive kitbashes of reused materials. #wolden #woldenrpg #ttrpg

Good progress on laying out Wolden 3 tonight. If all goes to plan, a Kickstarter for Wolden issues 2 (the big adventure) and 3 (two new cults/classes and other stuff) is coming this summer. Really love writing these cults. #ttrpg #woldenrpg #indierpg

Thumbnail of two spreads, a chapter opener with big bold graphics and text and one with a lot of tables. Great graphic design.

Currently digging through this excellent bad boy from the fine folks at @TMushmen. I feel an extended afternoon session in beer garden coming up. (So much great art in it too.) #ttrpg #osr

A lot of social media services do not like the aspect ratio of this picture, I realize now. But I finished a few more pages of layout and wanted to show them off. Including a hastily placed original illustration from Isa. To be tweaked […] [Original post on social.mottokrosh.com]
