I just got notified the my Expanse RPG Kickstarter rewards will be arriving this week and that Discworld is fulfilling as well. What am I going to do? I'm already out of shelf space!
There was a post out there somewhere that defined the scale of danger in how many hobbits it took.
Trolls: one-hobbit problem
Dragon: one-hobbit problem
Saruman: two-hobbit problem
Simply walking into Mordor: three hobbit problem (don't forget Gollum!)
The War of the Ring: five hobbit problem
Maybe we should rate adventure modules in hobbits?

It has not been, but instead Dragonbane is a spiritual descendant of the Swedish 1982 game. Not sure how much BRP is still recognisable in it.
A new version of Mothership Month this year without a group crowdfunding component! Also, TKG will be providing nine grants so creators can create their own zines among other things!

Drakar och Demoner 1984 is one of my lifetime favourite games! Most recently GM:ed it at a convention in May.
It's Basic Roleplaying 1982 + Magic World translated into Swedish, given a few minor tweaks and edited into a cohesive whole.
The fact that there are dozens (dozens!) of other people out there who don't like divine magicians ("clerics"/"priests") in a #ttrpg keeps me fighting the good fight.
Hmm... it feels like there isn't gonna be a game tonight. Buy at least we have Chainmail on Thursday
I'm not sure what kind of Traveller GM I am, if my scenario injures one PC, wounds a second and severely wounds a third... with a door.
(CT77 says that 1 attribute at 0 is wounded, 2 attributes at 0 is severely wounded.)
I'm sure the Intergalactic YouTube would have viral videos of four humans trying to get through an alien door... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 ⚡⚡⚡
I'm glad my players have a great sense of humor!
Playtesters wanted for The Dreadful Hare!
We’re looking for GMs with active groups to playtest scenarios from the upcoming Merryshire Detective Club adventure anthology.
Run a mystery, send us your feedback, and help us make the final adventures even better.

There are many ways you can turn #DnD from a “kitchen sink” fantasy into one that makes sense. Limit weapons (or materials) to certain nations/cultures/races, limit monsters found in those regions, think about culture & food & clothing. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG

I've been slowly adding all of my #TTRPG stuff to RPG Trader.
Here's my PWYW collection of character sheets for dead, mostly-forgotten RPGs:
#ttrpg copywriting tip: DO NOT make reference to concepts in rule explanations that you haven't directly covered yet
there's this trend in a lot of ttrpgs where the people writing clearly have a year's playtesting experience under their belt and keep forgetting the reader doesn't know any of this stuff yet
reading the book should gently introduce the simplest concepts and stack them until, by the end of the player guide, I have a full understanding of the game and how to play it, with a cheat-sheet summary at the end
the Ur-example of this is books diving into combat and the action economy *before* explaining movement and range, but talking about the latter throughout as if the reader already understands it, forcing them to backtrack or jump ahead to grasp what's happening
it takes a tonne of work to unpick the knot of mechanics to elucidate them in a clear linear order, but it's *your job as a writer of ttrpg books to do it anyway*
Just threw all my remaining D&D 3.5e books up on ebay, because I'm never going back to them. Not that I used the physical copies anyway.
Habe jetzt auch die Belege der "Fremden Augen". Anlässlich dessen ein paar Gedanken zur Welt Aventurien und ihrem Reiz für mich als Autor.
