Mothership needs debt. "You have no money so you cant do anything" sucks. "Oh you can spend as you like, get thats ship, but careful the loan sharks will be bustting down doors and sending bounty hunters after you if you dont pay. Better take those horrific scenarios huh?" Is a lot better.

seven part pact launches in 2 days, here's some sketches by @badbucket.bsky.social showing the process for designing different boards — each of the seven wizards has their own board game with completely different rules (and inspiration from different styles of medieval art)

okay I am home after spending a week with my parents helping my dad recover from open-heart surgery (he's improving, and everything is good!) So I wanna talk a quick bit about Sprigs & Kindling and our ennie nominations. :)
We're honestly blown away that Sprigs & Kindling has been nominated for two ENNIE Awards.

This has always been a volunteer project. The goal is simple: give new creators a place to learn the ropes of TTRPG publishing—writing, editing, layout, art, proofreading, and everything else that goes into making a book. Breaking into the industry is hard, and we've been lucky enough to watch a bunch of our contributors go on to publish professionally.

Seeing a free community zine recognized alongside so many incredible projects is pretty surreal.

If you like what we're doing and want to support a volunteer-run project that's all about helping new voices, we'd really appreciate your vote.

And whether you vote or not, thanks to everyone who's written, edited, illustrated, laid out, proofread, read, or shared Sprigs & Kindling. This nomination belongs to all of you.

Ansible Uplink is a bi-weekly podcast where I invite a different indie ttrpg creator on to review a sci-fi adventure module. As mentioned on the show (but never on bsky), if folks have questions about sci-fi roleplaying or adventure design, you can drop them here for the show, :)

Against Maps
Not all maps help play. Some clarify, some confuse, some inspire, and some just sit there like decoration.

I was really inspired by the You Cannot Play this TTRPG jam - so I decided to make something for it. Here is a character sheet I have designed for a game about Goblins which you will never, ever, be able to play.

Here's my advice for running Mythic Bastionland, in the format of a GM-side version of the player oaths. Also clearly a chance to drop some anecdotes from my game.

The Mythic Bastionland GM Oaths - Old Men Running The World
There’s been a little cottage industry of advice for Mythic Bastionland. I’m not proud enough to resist. Pride was always my dump sin.

GM Tip: Not every journey needs to be played through step-by-step. Try travel montages. Ask each player for one scene from the road: a campfire story, a close call, a discovery, etc. #ttrpg #rpg #gaming #ttrpgCommunity
