I'm glad that I was able to add what is basically a pokemon trainer class into BEACON. People (me included) sometimes think about how to put pokemon into another game, and the Shadebinder is a good foundation to start with.

Random TTRPG idea: A sci-fi game that asymmetrical class design, such as those from the Slayers games by @gilarpgs.bsky.social, to represent different roles on the ship. Could also maybe be applied to a sailing ship or a Voltron/Power Rangers style giant robot

A bit of trivia time since I just was thinking about it this morning - in BREAK!! I wanted to use the term "saga" instead of "campaign" because I felt it fit the game better, but also because SaGa is my favorite video game rpg series!
An excerpt from the BREAK!! tabletop rpg concerning sagas - a term the BREAK!! rpg uses for a string of adventurers featuring the same group

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

I've only started reading this, but I feel that, even though they're based on different theologies, this could make a good prequel to a Hellpiercers game

The GM's greatest fear isn't a total party wipe. It's the players asking for the name of a random NPC. Suddenly, "Blorp... the space janitor" is the most important character in the campaign. #ttrpg #rpg #dnd #ttrpgsky

MUTANTS FROM THE ARCHIVES: PET SHOP BLUES is now available! It's got playable dogs, cats, and every sort of pet you can imagine; and some you haven't! With new character types, villains, and an illustrated section on genemodded species, it's ready to adopt! Links below- #furry #scalie #tmnt #ttrpg
The cover to Julian Kay's Mutants from the Archives: Pet Shop Blues, featuring an "anime ninja" mutant dachshund leaping forward, a "bodega knight" mutant ragdoll cat holding a sign and a meat slicer as weapons, and a "dinosaur cosplay" mutant parrot with a dinosaur skull over its head, scythe claws at the end of its wings, and a megaphone to roar with. The book is subtitled "Archive 1 for the retro-modern, mutant-animal rpg!"The back cover of Mutants from the Archives, featuring four villainous mutant dog mercenaries, and the following text:

"No knobs, no masters.

You’ve been mutated. Move beyond fish flakes and kibble, leave the pet life behind and seize your anthropomorphic future.
This book gives dogs their day and lets cats out of the bag, with over a hundred new breed options from Abyssinians to Toygers, Afghans to Xōlōitzcuintin, randomized mixed-breeds, and every species of canid and felid not previously covered, like Pallas’s cats or red wolves! And we add new pet-centric backgrounds, skills, fighting styles, and even rules for centering them in a campaign by playing a pack or a colony.
It’s not just four-footed carnivores; pocket pets, aquarium fish, caged birds, and many more get their turn. And it’s not just the everyday: we introduce genemods including the Guinea Big, strangeness in the Pittsburgh cold storage cat, and otherworldlies like the Flickerhund.
And we explore the state-of-the-art in gene modification, with genemods getting both their sales pitch and terrible secrets exposed, along with the legally grey practice of zoohacking.
You don’t get to have it easy, though! The Invasive Species Service’s hunt for mutants is bolstered by the Soiled Boys, their fascist footsoldiers. Also, the Alpha Squad arrives, a group of mutant mercenary dogs toxified by Internet maschismo. But to fight them, it’s-
time to get unleashed!"

Yes it could be argued that keeping up with world events is important but alternatively can I interest you in hugging an ancient mossy boulder that looks like a face and quietly listening while it tells you stories from centuries cloaked in mist.
A lovely mossy boulder with a face. I walked past this venerable stone gentleman on Dartmoor when I was beginning to write my first novel, Villager, and it whispered all 104,000 words of the book to me. So now I have to pay it all of my royalties. Unfortunately my ex-publisher stopped paying me royalties last year. Understandable, the boulder was not happy. But now I have a new publisher and the book has been republished. So remember if you purchase a copy you will be helping a boulder to eat, pay the rent on his riverside moss garden, and feed his boulder family.

I think a lot about how Team Fortress 2 had a picture of a coconut in its files and if you removed it the game would just stop working. I know someone figured it all out later on, but I love the symbolism of that. I think there are a lot of coconut pictures in games of all types, really.

Vagabond Multiclassing is a question that I get asked about DAILY, so I've put this together from a sidebar that will be in Spellbook. I've considered putting it in the Core Rulebook in an appendix, but I should post it up on socials to hit the fans' feeds. Multiclassing will not be a thing.

I was thinking that if I ever wanted to do a "Megadungeon" style thing, it would likely be a series of connected Adventure Sites that the players could venture through to eventually get to some important, load-bearing place and realized that I was just thinking of Super Mario World maps again

I have seen a couple posts on trpgs to play that aren't D&D (for obvious reasons) and I'm always hesitant to chime in. There is always the chance something you liked in your favorite game isn't the same in ours, for example. But hey, if you want to give BREAK!! a look I'd be happy for that!
4 adventurers from the BREAK!! RPG and a feline companion walk around a scenic path! They are definitely going somewhere.
