In this weeks game, the players decided to go back into Dwimmermount after 2 years of doing other things in the campaign. Not even sure why they decided to do that. I think it was just that it was nearby, and they were tired of overland hex crawl type adventures.
So, they made their way down into level 2. They fought some rat-men, even though they could have parlayed. The group is just not much into parlaying.
One of the group died, but, at least, this time, the group decided it was their fault and not some bad ruling by the referee, heh.
I wanted to add a few more links to the good old OSR LinksToWisdom wiki, especially as @kensanata posted a link to a form to do that easy on our chat today.
instead I somehow started reworking a blog article I posted 15 years ago into something for my current campaign.
man, I really think I have adhd.
anyway, here's a link to the wiki

I'm listing products with RPG Trader now, starting with Tabula Mortis. I'm looking forward to seeing how this shakes out.
Started work on my adventure for the Vaults of Vaarn Summer game jam.
It's set entirely in an arcology mostly inspired by (or stolen from) the Elizabeth Hand novel Aestival Tide.
One good thing about getting older is that you know yourself better. With that in mind, I’m happy producing my little indie #DnD zine - if it got too big, it would become too stressful. I don’t want that. I’m happy being indie. #DungeonsAndDragons #TTRPG
Recent discussion of Kelek made me think of when I ran Quest for the Heartstone a couple of years ago. I made some maps and diagrams.

In session 1 of our The Cobalt Desert Shadowdark campaign our heroes are joined by their friend Grack, a Kobold Priest, as they set out for the ill-omened Mines of the Lost:

Frame from the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon, episode "Valley of the Unicorns". The white-bearded evil wizard Kelek is standing with his arms outstretched in front of him as he summons his lair to rise from the ground. The meme text reads "ARISE!".
Just ran across this detailed fan page for the out-of-print 1983 Powers & Perils RPG
Never played it, probably never will, but it's always inspiring to see this much passion for an obscure RPG.

Wir haben heute das #MörkBorg-Abenteuer Tragic Castle Obsession gespielt/angefangen. (Ob wir weitere Termine finden, ist noch nicht klar.) Das war richtig abgefahren! ^^
Ein Zauberer (noch nie nen Tanzen-Spruch als „Angriffszauber“ erlebt), ein geflüchteter Adliger (plus sprechendem Pferd plus sarkastischem und enttäuschtem Schwert plus einem kleinen Äffchen, das den Adligen eigentlich immer ignorierte) und mein Armeedeserteur mit scharfen, übergroßen Zähnen, dem Hufeisen des Pferdes vom TOD und einem Totenschädel, mit dem die ganze Zeit gesprochen und geflüstert wurde. Und das Schloss, in das wir einfach mal so reinspaziert sind, war auch mehr als schräg.
Ich hoffe, wir spielen noch mal weiter, wir haben in den zwei Stunden nur etwa ein Drittel geschafft, meinte SL @bohemiaspielkunst
Three very different adventures. One giant bundle.
Investigate conspiracies across the galaxy in Ashen Stars, untangle history in TimeWatch, or survive intrigue and sorcery in Swords of the Serpentine. All in the Roll Big or Go Home 2 Megabundle.

Meine neuste Lieblingsregel für die kommenden 15 Minuten: Im sehr baller-orientierten Action #TTRPG „Dirt Bags“ wird „Schießen“ als „freie Aktion“ definiert, die man jederzeit vor, während oder nach eine Aktion ausführen darf, solange man Munition hat 🥳
So dieses Wochenende habe ich endlich Zeit gefunden, an meinem Beitrag für den System Matters Fanzine Wettbewerb zu arbeiten: es wird ein Ausmal-Abenteuer!
Jetzt muss nur noch der Druck klappen, aber es sind ja noch ganze 3 Wochen *hust*

Ein Screenshot von einem Fanzine-Cover für Mausritter mit dem Titel Chaos in Coloria. Darunter der Schriftzug: Ein Ausmal-Abenteuer für Mausritter. Als Bild ist eine Maus mit Schwert und Laterne zu sehen, die mit diesen Waffen die Dunkelheit vertreibt. Das ganze Bild ist mit bunten Bundstiftgekrakel untermalt.
Working slowly on a project where I see how monsters in #DnD affect the ordinary lives on common folk. Herders, for example, have a lot more to worry about than wolves and bandits - monsters roam and hunt, as well. #DungeonAndDragons #TTRPG
This is still, very much, a work in progress, but now, you can actually play through ascii maps. I worked on passing the ascii layout to the javascript port of Richard Garriott's DND1.
So I made an ascii representation of the first dungeon in the D&D red box. And I can now pass that to the DND1 engine, and you can play it. I mean, it is not going to be the same experience. It does not implement a bunch of features that would need to be done to have static monster encounters, and scripted events and other things like that. But, maybe, one day, I will get around to enhancing it.
EDIT Also, this means you can go make your own maps. You can see the above map in the ascii to svg tool.

The You Cannot Play This TTRPG Jam just ended today.
Still worth checking out. There's some exceedingly silly stuff in there:
There are three types of question in the Q-Con pub quiz: 1. Very specific questions that I am absolutely sure of the answer to, like: which games company was investigated by the FBI in the 1990s? 2. Questions that I am infuriated that I don't know the answer to, like: what is the name of the nightclub in Terminator? 3. Questions I have no clue about whatsoever.

My kid makes some kickass art.
Yes, I'm breaking the "Make It Myself" design principle for Bolthaven Folios, but I actually wrote the first draft of this one 7 years ago.
This is going out to my advance readers today, so stay tuned for Bolthaven Folio #4: On Our Honour, coming soon!

My hand holds a draft copy of Bolthaven Folio #4 over a dark brown table top. A line drawing of a running Space Marine stands out in the lower-right corner of the zine's cover page.
It occurs to me that game masters trying to make a scifi #TTRPG scenario set in an alien jungle can find interesting material in The Demon Breed by James Schmitz and in Midworld by Alan Dean Foster

Took a stab of converting the first dungeon in the 1984 Basic D&D Red Box, into an ascii map dungeon.
I tried a couple of things to shorten the map sharing url.
Different custom run length encoding
CP437 lookup table to shorten the byte length of the characters
Store length and remove newlines.
Bit packing.
Base64 with url safe chars.
Switching algorithms around and choosing the ones that made the shortest URL.
And even with all of that, lz-string with Base64 would produce shorter URL.
So now, the ascii map to svg tiles uses lz-string to share.
Back in the '90s, I ran a campaign "Darkside" with Palladium's Beyond the Supernatural, where Ronald Reagan was a Mythos cultist, 2nd inauguration he ranted a ritual spell, became a lich, turned DC first, then expanding rings of the world, to a horrible monster dimension, everything gets corrupted, shapeshifters infest the government. PCs are militia & magic loonies with guns fighting them.
Ha ha I was so optimistic in my yout', can you imagine anyone fighting back instead of profiting?

Love the idea that this place and its people's traditions change the rules of the game. #ApocalypseWorld #TTRPG
While XNOO is at proofreading and Andy Action and crew are working hard at fulfilling Dungeon, Inc., the Mushmen are off to new adventures.
I mean this literally: we're working with @josephrlewis and @bradkerr on our next double feature!
It will be a pair of winter themed modules, both somewhat on the fairy-tale end of the fantasy spectrum. We should be on KS at the end of the summer, just in time for the last few heatwaves.

Don't need to join another game jam, and yet...
In the Appx. N Jam 2026, you're given the name of a fictional fantasy book at random and you have to make a RPG adventure based on it.
