Commander Cranium, First Icons PC I rolled. Sadly never got to play him. Soldier and psychic who could throw down with just fists.

Flying superhero with hand raised, sketch, metal boots, metal belt, psi symbol covering chest.

More of me trying to draw, an elastic superhero. I wanted something "different" for the costume (Mr. Fantastic, Plastic Man, and Elongated Man seem to mostly shop at the same costume store almost, with Plastic Man's being the strangest.)

Friend: "This game you are making and running, can I have a profession called Witch Hunter." Me: "But there aren't any witches, just demons?" Player: "Well I want someone who hunts demons!" Me: "Okay, we need a better name, here are a dozen." Player: "Cool!" #ttrpg-design #ttrpg

I really need a good folklore book on demons (in English), anyone have suggestions? #folklore #rpg-design

I realize that I do a lot more writing and adding to my game drafts when I'm actually running them for game groups. It is part of why I'm so slow at that process. #ttrpg #ttrpg-design

Cards as a mechanic can be great (Marvel Superhero Adventure Game); cards used as a Mechanic can be terrible (many others) I'm just not sure if I should stick to dice or try and find something elegant with cards. Dice are a lot easier to make elegant though. #ttrpg #ttrpg-design #game-design

I really wish I could find another long-term superhero game to play (MSH, Icons, etc) #ttrpg #play

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

I was brainstorming traits for one of my games and realized I probably should change the names of some of the "ability scores." Also may make all equipment unless it is separate trait be part of a general "Load Out" trait. #ttrog #ttrpg-design #gaming #rpg So gear can be swapped in and out.

Got my Ars Magica Definitive Edition. It came in yesterday; I love the encyclopedia-style design of the book. #ttrpg #Atlas-games #ArsMagica

Scribbling notes for the Old/Wild west horror TTRPG, mostly just ideas. I generally am not a fan of games within games but I really want to use cards and have them impactful on play. (Not just used for one minor thing.) I have to dwell on it as I do research. #ttrpg-design #ttrpg #rpg

You'd think as fast as I'd type, that I'd get my stuff written quickly. It is hard to do with brain fog caused by insomnia is in the way. #sleepless #tired #writing

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

As usual my ADHD is acting up. So I've pivoted to think of Wild West Horror stuff. Right now trying to decide what trait categories I want: Reputations, Convictions, Bonds, Relationships, Trauma, and/or secrets. I want at least three. #ttrpg-design #ttrpg #old-west

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Anyone know of a fighting TTRPG that is simple and fast to play (something inspired by fighting video games like Streetfighter and others in the field) #rpg #fighting-games #ttrpg

There are days when I am tempted to steal alien ideas from fiction, and file the serial numbers off. There are some surprisingly good creations out there. (Ones unlikely to be noticed without serious examination) but I am ever only tempted. #aliencreation #sfrpg #sci-fi #ttrpg #ttrpg-creation

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

I am intentionally trying to avoid aliens that are: Too humanoid/human like, too similar to Earth animals give anthropomorphic features. Not an entirely easy task since those are familiar. #ttrpg #rpg #aliens #sci-fi #creative-writing #ttrpg-design

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

I don't know if plausible, but I still wish I could find a way to utilize my alien species who resemble insects, are silicon based, and feed on the higher wavelengths of the EM spectrum. They live near a highly energetic star. #rpg-design #tttrpg #ttrpgdesign #aliens #sci-fi

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

Wondering what forms of energy aliens species might use--as biological processes. We use electro-chemical processes, but could other energy transfer work? I mean plants aren't that dissimilar, of course. #aliencreatopm #ttrpg #ttrpg-design #speculative-biology

Why is it, that my brain cannot shut up and let me sleep? I mean I even have medication that is supposed to help. But nope. I spend too much time awake when I should be sleeping. #nosleep #sleeping #mental-illness #tired

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

I am really stumped as to what high weirdness thing I should make the Ubaid figurines stand for in my current H&S2E (superhero) game. It needs to be REALLY off the wall and aliens don't cut it. That's too mundane for this campaign #ttrpg #archeology #gaming #weird

No Hearts & Souls 2E game this week. Weather was not my friend. It decided to hammer my sinuses with pressure and allergies because it rained. (Ordinarily I love rain) #ttrpg #superherorpg #supersrpg #superheroes

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Running an H&S2E campaign (Hearts & Souls, my superhero game.) Players are primarily investigators finding out the strange history of their world that has been forcefully redacted so to speak. Very Planetary inspired, but my own twists and turns. #superherorpg #rpg #ttrpg

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Been pretty slow lately, just tired all the time. Stupid sleep schedule feels random and not in a fortunately lucky way. I need to get back to work on my game stuff.

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

I've not been sleeping much. It is very frustrating to be so close to wrapping up a project and hit the "I am exhausted" barrier.

020

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

I really need a sci-fi TTRPG that has some strangeness in it. Not exactly horror, but something MORE. Which is hard to explain. Preferably something not mimicking Alien/Star Wars/Star Trek, or Traveller. #rpg #ttrpg

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 18/04/2026

I really need more ideas for my Dragon Urban Fantasy thing. Sighs. Stalled at the moment. #ttrpg #urbanfantasy #ttrpg-design

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

I continue working on Unquenched, my Urban Fantasy game of Dragon-souled supernaturals, but I'm not so familiar with PbtA, though. Also trying to settle on the alien species I like the most of the numerous ones I've created in my head for my Sci-Fi game. #ttrpg-design #ttrpg #writing #sci-fi #pbta

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Fantasy TTRPG question: How do you split up dragons in your (preferably non D&D) games? In folklore there are classic dragons (four legs, wings), wyverns (two legs, wings), Asian Dragons, Sea Serpents, and finally "primal" which mixes some animal feature into a dragon (Tarasque) #dragons #ttrpg

Working on game stuff. What kind of traits would a Synthetic Intelligence have? What kind of frames (bodies) besides robots, androids, bioroids, and starship? #sci-fi #ttrpg #ttrpg-design #ttrpgwriting

Writing Work: Brainstorming another Sci-Fi TTRPG (I have a Space Opera one, and a Space Wuxia one I'm working on.) Sadly, my Horror and Sci-fi game is on hold. I need hopeful escapism. Working on "Mortal humans with dragon souls" PbtA game.

Silverlion (Tim Kirk) @silverlion.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Due to randomly asking "Has anyone ever used PbtA" in a game design channel, I lucked out meeting someone who is willing to help me direct and shape a game idea I've wanted to do but have been sitting on. Mostly organizational stuff, but that helps my brain create. #ttrpg #ttrpg-design #rpg
