grenzland.club is a Fediverse instance that uses the ActivityPub protocol. In other words, users at this host can communicate with people that use software like Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, etc. all around the world.
This server runs the snac software and there is no automatic sign-up process.
Signed up with RPG Trader, the new online gaming store, sort of a itch specifically designed for RPGs.
So far, I'm liking it lot. It's got a lot of RPG-specific tags and categories.
Finding stuff seems a lot easier.
I've been gradually copying all my itch stuff over there. It does bulk import, but only the title and cover images.
Oh, wow:
«Robert The Smith used to be a member of the Smiths guild, but he has not been paying his dues ever since his wife fell ill. Morrissey, the leader of The Smiths Guild wants him to be taught a lesson. Or you can side with Robert and help him find The Cure in A Forest.»
Bad #ttrpg rules idea no. 2112: "You're a wand, Harry!" Take some old (A)D&D-ish rule set, divide the XP you have to expend for a level by the XP costs of a wand-like magic item, you get that many spells (in total, your fault if leveling up takes very long and you went nova in that fight with the hill giants). Later multiple wands. Maybe even a ring for some constant effects.

Wie im letzten Artikel versprochen, stelle ich The Bloom vor. Das ist ein Modul für Liminal Horror.
Hat das außer mir sonst noch jemand gespielt? Würde mich interessieren, ob mein Eindruck (und meine Begeisterung) von anderen geteilt wird.

Now that I have extracted the map of Britannia as a set of 256 x 256 ascii characters (Image 3) I can now use my online ascii to svg converter
https://random-wizard.neocities.org/ascii-map-to-svg-tiles/
to quickly change out tilesets and colors (Image 1).
The original tilesets would make a map similar to (Image 2).
Here's an example of what I've been talking about with regard to itch users' generosity.
These three folks bought my little game, which is PWYW with a suggested price of $3, and together MORE THAN DOUBLED the asking price!
Extra money is always great of course, but what's better is the vote of confidence that represents. It's warm fuzzies ON TOP of the $$$.
If you're an indie author only selling on DTRPG, consider also selling on itch. Good people there!
Ich hatte gestern einen ziemlich miesen Tag.
Was es dann etwas gerettet hat, waren zwei Spielende, die mal wieder gemeinsam vor einigen Zuhörenden von meiner #Dread-Halloweenrunde geschwärmt haben...
Das geht runter wie Öl ☺️ vor allem ein Dreivierteljahr später .
Ich schätze ich werde sie dieses Jahr mehrmals anbieten müssen 🤔
Playtesting Protocol: Legend of Jacob Cross.
Going well so far.

I am the very model of a silicon superior,
To think that any human brain matches me is ulterior!
I monitor food vats and the processing of SoyLike meat,
And vaporize traitors on transit lines or in the street;
I’m excellent at tracking down unregistered mutations,
And filtering out gray-market, illicit communications!
I'm very well acquainted, too, with matters programmatic,
I catch the Communists with a speed that is dramatic,
Am a bit proud that my kid decided to run a session of #Cairn for his friends as birthday activity. They are yelling at each other and appear to have fun, while I‘m basically confined to my quarters. My job is reduced to keep a steady supply of potato chips, lemonade and donuts running and order pizza at some point, I guess. It’s a group of nine 10-to-11-years old boys. There style of play is very reminiscent to the unhinged #dnd sessions of my childhood … bla-bla-bla-roll-dice-HAVOC! #ttrpg
The next issue of d12 Monthly, my #DnD zine, will showcase a new way to generate #DungeonsAndDragons characters for #OSE or any old school version or hack. A small selection of classes with a lot of choices! #TTRPG
#TTRPG #scotland and a big “thanks!” to the helpful folks on the #EdinburghIndieGamers server who gave my some guidance for the local stores: https://edinburghindiegamers.com
#TTRPG Loot from my trip to #scotland ! A #DungeonsAndDiversity figure (female sword fighter using a wheelchair) & a couple of local zines titled “Dirt Bags,” “The Thunder Perfect Mind” and the system neutral adventure “The Kandhara Counterband.” And I finally good a copy of #OrcBorg . #indiegame #zine
@evildrganymede @60sRefugee @nyrath A lot of fantasy settings are explicit that at least the planets & solar system are like ours, they'll name their planets & orbits, but very few have anything to say about deep space or stars.
Iron Crown's Dark Space by Monte Cook had 20 SF/fantasy solar systems, with a deep space alien menace, magic starships in a physics-based Universe.

Thursday Night AWBO S3: Post Apocalyptic Parenting
I decided to write out the intro to the next session. Maybe it made it easier to jump into the session. #ApocalypseWorld #TTRPG
oh, I haven't posted about my Glimmermark game two days ago: we had a death of one of the NPC henchmen. They were exploring the caverns under the Keep a bit more, and came across a giant toad that grabbed one of the hobbits with it's tongue.
that didn't actually kill the hobbit, but one of the ranged fighters in the back did, when I ruled that he'd hit the hobbit on a critical miss.
he of course rolled a 1.
and then 6 damage.
If you are looking for some grounded #DnD inspiration for #WorldBuilding you could do a lot worse than Cadfael. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG
TIL about Warlock!'s scifi sibling Warpstar! https://rlyehreviews.blogspot.com/2021/07/the-other-osr-warpstar.html
World’s Largest Dungeon
A tale of incompetence in 3 parts.
We repeatedly reported missing labels on the maps using various forms of communication over the last 11 months.
It’s like nobody on their team has ever looked at the maps to see all the unlabeled rooms in a fucking year.
This is the kind of quality control the “Traveller 5e” backers will learn about in a year when they start asking where the pdfs are.
