AC magnetic phone holder and Adafruit 10x5 aluminum Swirly holds everything together. HackerGadgets antenna mount across the top and their AC1200 USB-C WiFi card. Adafruit Ultimate GPS USB and a DIY OUI-Spy. To reduce the noise floor, it’s hooked up via USB2.0 cables with ferrite chokes. OUI-Spy is on the hub with a 2.4G mini-keyboard.

I’ve been appreciating the framework WoS creates for bounties. It helps me consider the complications any gig could unleash. They become catalysts for emergent play as players respond to the consequences of their choices.

My crew asked for a western flavor. My favorite part is perusing sources. Returning to the Crystal Frontier, expanding the world with bounties from Wages of Sin (just arrived) and pulling new locations from Karth… that could work. Right? 🤔 @joelhines.bsky.social and @ratkingrpg.bsky.social #OSR

Three books arranged in a square frame. Wages of Sin, Tomb Raiders of the Crystal Frontier, and Desert Moon of Karth.

Here’s a correlation. In 1998 Viagra was approved for ED. Trials went for years before that. Weinstein, Trump and Epstein operated in that era, at the age men typically begin needing the drug. Is there a broader correlation among older men, SA, and ED meds?

The tattered, short cape tells me they’ve been at this a long time. Emphasizing the details across the shoulders, down the arms, and the hands resting on the sword hilt project both a challenge and confidence. The stars give it an other-worldly quality. #OSR art from @perplexingruins.bsky.social

Black and red figure of an imposing warrior warring a horned helm. A short ragged cape flaps behind him. The figure is in all black except red and white details in the shoulders, chest and arms. Hands rest on the hilt of a sword simultaneously suggesting accomplishment and challenge. The words “Tyrant Slayer” in all caps emphasizes stature.

Finally Tun Tun Tun, a fiend pyromancer with the talent of Super Nova went Nova💥. Trigona was wounded and TTT survived with 1HP, thanks to a Honeycrust armor. Trigona is a godling. They tried absorbing TTT as a sacrifice but lost their grip Triple-T's last Nova defeated Trigona—this time.

Then a wave of 15 summoned scorpions took on the remaining die-hards, they were immune to a cure. Cultist Priests responded with powerful Rebuke spells and sent half away. In the ensuing melee, premature Trigona was given two unwilling sacrifices and grew more powerful.

🧵 Final? Dragon Town ‼️ Party attacked Trigona in three waves. Mrs. Frizzle's bees sent a swarm into the ritual, delivering a cure to cultists. The party prevously saved her in the Festering Hive. #OSR #ShadowDark @jpcoovert.bsky.social & @goblinarchives.itch.io & @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social

Game map representing the party’s final combat with Trigona. A large d20 represents Trigona, orange meeples simple cultists, white are fighters, purple are priests and black are shadow creatures who return to Trigona upon death. The shark with tennis shoes is the party’s position.

What happens when Fabien's Atelier, Dragon Town and Hungry Hollow are canon to the world? It means characters have a floating island, a shrink/grow portal, two marginally friendly dragons, Kingsclaw sword, and maybe some elementals at their disposal to fight Trigona. #OSR #ShadowDark

Chatting about games I run inevitably leads to #osr. I talk about the game’s history and connections to what I do now. A relationship with the game’s history is a core value in the OSR. Creators and players often explain what history drives or inspire them. It’s a shared history. #ShowerThoughts

This. If they told users that using a traditional payment method jeopardized anonymity in the sign up process, they may have not had data to hand over, and their peepees wouldn't have been so hurt by someone reporting on it. They could've addressed that. But instead we get the "fake news" defense.
