#Stonetop recommends you write letters to your PCs in between sessions (lore drops, creative prompts, resolve threads, tell secrets, or just dig deeper). And I am loving it! I might not be able to write letters between EVERY session, but this is a really fun GM tool to add to my arsenal.

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I find myself using any and every excuse to use #Fungi of the Far Realms in my games. (just wrote a #stonetop arcana that gives the PC a bunch of mushroom knowledge). What are some other in-game artifacts that I can give my players?

Running my first TTRPG game in a loooong time. This paragraph sold me on Stonetop, and I can't wait to see it hit the table.

I've finally been feeling creative again, but I don't have an office right now. So I made a travel desk from an old cigar box! Very happy with how it turned out. It's big enough surface for writing, and can be angled in various ways. Especially proud of making the cigar slots into modular trays

"Your thirst is mine. My water is yours." I've been playing a beautiful video game where strangers greet each other with that phrase and care for one another. I need to keep my head in this space. Play #cavesofqud if you can. "Live and drink." - parting phrase

The Aquarium Game Night was a huge success!! The GMs ran a fantastic adventure, the players were all so creative, and the dice were fickle as ever. Hope we get to do it again soon!! #aquarium #osr #ttrpg #marinebio #rpg #troika #gamenightfun

I love the beard balm from @plusoneexp.bsky.social . When it runs out, the tins make perfect little dice trays!

Got some buy in for our new Wildsea campaign:

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

I've been writing 15-20 letters a month for 6 months! I'm pretty proud of that. Here's a peek at the messiest part of the whole process (and one of the most fun) #fountainpens #letters #handwriting #waxseals

3 wax seals: a triangular mushroom seal, a fantasy kingdom seal, and a saturn seal

Good advert. If I need to print a bunch of blank notebooks, I'll call you.

Slowly emerging from our slumber... Expect a new(ish) release from Technical Grimoire soon!

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

My greatest achievement of the year: Ended up winning with a horned turtle build. This run took about 15 hours to complete, but overall I've put just under 200 hours into it. What an incredible game. I can't wait to dive in and try a different build and see different endings.

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Got to mess with my new flex-nib pen, a Noodlers Konrad! (Thanks @markerslinger.bsky.social ) Still getting the hang of varying pressure and writing angle, but it's fun! I'm already feeling a little overwhelmed with 5 pens; I don't see myself getting another pen for a loooong while. (I hope!)

070

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Can you help me balance my budget? I'm pretty happy with my current set of 3 pens, but one day I'd love to try out a flex nib / calligraphy nib. Any suggestions?

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 15/11/2024

I even used this for the Overpowered Web App! It is remarkably compatible with basically everything. A remarkable achievement!

I'm re-reading the Fellowship of the Ring and realized that I'm the same age as Frodo Baggins was when he started his adventure! That means I've only got a few more months to swept along on a big adventure. Who's with me?

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 02/08/2024

Come visit my table this Sunday! 11-7 at the Halsey Institute. No cost to enter! I'm selling a bunch of cool zines and doing a rad presentation on public domain art.

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 30/07/2024

Made a little hex-map for my game room! These should dampen the echo and look rad.

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 03/07/2024

Contributed to our neighborhood book box! Gave a copy of Bridgetown by John Gregory and @furtsburrow.bsky.social And picked up a copy of Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.

I glued tiny ceramic creatures to all my mugs. This has been a massive improvement for my mental health and my tea drinking. Inspired by Chinese tea pets, but way easier to maintain and use. Show me your favorite mug!

I went on a Christian podcast to dispel some of the fear and misconceptions about D&D. pwna.net/christians-p... I hope folks listen to this and feel encouraged to try out roleplaying games for themselves, and discover what a life-giving hobby it can be!

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 14/05/2024

📚Today's book is "The Tomb of Black Sand" by Swordfish Islands. A dark, dreary, hopeless dungeon crawl. And yet...I still really want to play it. The book is one of the prettiest on my shelf, with clean, usable layout. It also might be a good combo with Seas of Sand...

010

Technical Grimoire @technicalgrimoire.bsky.social · 13/05/2024

📚Today's book is "Hypertellurians" by Mottokrosh Machinations. One of the most beautiful books on my shelf! I love the pulpy retro vibe, and how it rides that line between fantasy and sci-fi. You could play this with any adventure! I hope to make something for it someday.
