In a week from now, on Tuesday the 13th, I'll be dropping the latest Dowager update! This month, the basic actions have been completely reformatted and reworked, the weapons list has expanded to nearly 50 and seen some big changes, and there's a big batch of new adversaries to fight 😊

Joel Happyhil - read games!!!!! @joelhappyhil.bsky.social · 05/10/2026
With print fast approaching, I've released the errataed file that I plan to use for print to get as many eyes on it as possible before it's pushed joel-happyhil.itch.io/dawn/devlog/...
joel-happyhil.itch.io
Update: Lionwing Errata
Sorry for the wait, but the lionwing prints are now on the way to be sent out before the end of the year, and because of that I've decided to put out the errataed file that I plan to use for that…

I got a lot (nearly a hundred!) new followers this past month, largely off ttrpg-related starter packs, so if you haven't checked out Dowager yet, take a peek at the itch page! You can grab a copy of the current version over at the Sinland Games patreon:

I mostly blame youtubers for this. It's the sorta thing that has some shock value if you otherwise don't have much knowledge of the hobby and it's easy to make videos gawking at that sorta thing for engagement

All morality aside I wish people would just stop giving Fatal any attention at all, even as a joke. It's incoherent and unplayable and nobody has ever actually liked it. Just let this piece of shit fade into obscurity.

there's much to be said about tribalism in indie ttrpgs but man at times it feels a little painful to be stuck in the middle where I feel my tastes are way too trad for one end of the hobby and yet also way too modern for the other lmao

The artwork of Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan by Akira Yoneda/Komeda used on the cover of the #NEC #PC88/#PC98, #FMTowns, #MSDOS, and #SharpX68000 releases. Restored by using different sources to fill missing bits, applying some clean/retouch without upscaling.
Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan clean artwork by Akira Yoneda/Komeda used on the cover of the NEC PC-88/PC-98, FM Towns, MS-DOS, and Sharp X68000 releases. Image depicts a huge scantily clad woman with dragon wings and ornate jewellery holding a scepter with a horned skull on her right hand while a red cape dangles from her arms. She has a piercing look on her eyes, looking towards a group of people where a dwarf with a shield and axe, a warrior with a sword and shield, a very scantily clad woman with a dagger and a old bearded mage in dark clothing holding a staff can be seen at the bottom. Some sort of green mist permeates the space where these people are.

I had the absolute honor of getting to make a piece for the @gallerynucleus.bsky.social Over the Garden Wall 10th Anniversary Tribute Show I believe this piece is being made into a print with the gallery so keep your eyes peeled, give them a follow! The opening reception will be on Nov 2nd🎃
Fan art for Over the Garden Wall. The illustration shows a cart with pumpkins being ridden by a black cat and a pumpkin man with a pitchfork walking next to the cart. The cart is being pulled by two turkeys, and behind them is a pumpkin woman and a pumpkin headed skeleton holding hands. There is a candy scattered on the ground and a small duck and frog are walking with the procession. The background is of a bucolic scene with rolling fields with early morning mist

I think when asking the question can you make a Fire Emblem TTRPG you must ask yourself what do you value from the series. Adapting anything to a TTRPG asks you to see what you value but fire emblem really will test what portions of the games are key, what setting elements from what game?

Yeah. I mean, these sorta takes are kinda immaterial anyway because there's no reasonable way to actually enforce that short of arresting the guy. I'm whatever about it considering his art and essays aren't the medium through which he's hurt anybody.

...to make it work, but until we get there, naturally being one of the big few who's "made it" is naturally going to feel like a position of privilege and authority to other people. There are a lot of creative endeavors that can only really be pulled off if enough people fuck with you.

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚 🐟 @sinland.gay · 03/10/2026
For a lot of people, even if they're aware of all the effort and labor that goes into doing it full-time, being a successful youtuber or talking about art and videogames for a living- being able to pay your bills like that- is an utter dream job. I wish all of us who want to do that could afford...
130
𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚 🐟 @sinland.gay · 03/10/2026
...some art also has a social cost too. Unless you riff alone on mic for an hour, you can't really be a podcaster if nobody wants to talk to you. In ttrpgs, I can reach more people thru a publisher than if I have to print, package, ship, etc every physical book myself, etc.

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚 🐟 @sinland.gay · 03/10/2026
On the one hand, yeah. There's nothing legally or physically stopping him from doing more videos, though producing certain kinds of art has a cost associated with it. There are things you can afford to do with a big audience that allots you a budget, that lets you not go broke from 1 big project...

Yeah. I try to be charitable and remember my own sense of "normal" is skewed heavily by how online I am and the circles I hang out in, but like... furries aren't an especially insular subculture or anything, they're everywhere. I think this person just dwells in a deeply cishet parallel world.

It's not great but I'm pretty sure the Chiitan account is fully automated. I don't think there's a real person manually liking the posts, it's not hard to get a like from Chiitan just by posting anything with keywords trendy amongst online queer people. (in this case I figure 'Petra Parker' did it)

Being as nice as possible here, I feel like my huge disconnect with these people is that I think you should only roll dice when doing so leads to something interesting, and some people think rolling a die at all is inherently interesting, even for stupid shit that goes nowhere

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚 🐟 @sinland.gay · 02/10/2026
The thought of sharing responsibility over what the game/adventure should look like never once crosses their minds. People love rolling dice even if success is impossible because.. I guess it's funny? Because the DM should refer to dice for everything instead of having a conversation? Serf mentality

I think what I'm gleaming this morning is that DnD players are absolutely delighted about the idea of the DM having absolute, ultimate authority, to the point of making entire rules for the game, but they also have strong opinions on what the DM should do with that authority

This sorta thing is always on my mind re: class design- I think it's ideal to have options that cater to peoples' preferences for complexity (some people enjoy having like 3 unique resources/meters to track!), but the simple option shouldn't just be relegated to playing a worse version of the game

𝐀𝐛𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚 🐟 @sinland.gay · 02/10/2026
The cool thing is I think you could easily covert a "buildcraft" game to this style of play by just restricting everybody to premade characters. For a videogame comparison, it's like character creation versus 'heroes', Elden Ring versus Nightreign
