Whelp, found out today that someone wanting to improve the clarity and engagement of their #ttrpg writing hadn't heard of 'Toast of the Town' so I was able to give them enough experience to immediately level up.

Thanks, @SJohnRoss@dice.camp

Teil zwei der Raumhafen-Karte. Daran sass ich 30 Minuten.

Ich denke in weiteren 30-60 Minuten wird die fertig.

Danach eine Cantina, und dann noch andere Karte im Charaktermasstab.

Thoughts on the Arden Vul megadungeon over at the Lonely Star blog:

I really miss when people shared their cool, useful #TTRPG stuff on their blogs and whatnot. Creatures, classes, ancestries, house rules… that kind of stuff.

Not so much, "d100 magic fragrances the mysterious back alley dealer will trade for candy" or "I've agonized over it for weeks and here's why I now think it's OK to slightly tweak one rule in OSE" type of things we have today.

That's a fun way to do a #TTRPG teaser 😄.

Something about the map from Ultima always reminded me of the map fromX6 Quagmire. I guess there are only so many ways to make peninsula.

The rare #ttrpg illustration where "Every Castle is Neuschwanstein" meets Sir Mix-A-Lot.

Alt...

Fantasy illustration, from the tabletop RPG "Fabled Empire", showing two riders from the back, sitting on horses, looking at a shining castle in the distance. Simple colors, both riders have long hair and puffy sleeves. The horses consist 90% of butts.

I just downloaded this. If you are looking for some grounded inspiration for your #DnD campaign’s religions or want to add to your #Harn collection, this is a great book! And it is currently half price!! https://yumdm.short.gy/HarnReligions

I decided to convert my homebrew campaign map to ascii and then run it through my ascii to svg tile converter to see how it comapres to the Ultima 4 Britannia map.

https://random-wizard.neocities.org/ascii-map-to-svg-tiles/

It was a lot of work. It is not bad, but it is not the work of art that the Ultima 4 map is. Mine does have a lot more rivers though.

Working through text has made me realize that the Ultima 4 map must have taken a long time to develop. I also get the feeling that it started as a drawing and they somehow converted to a 256 by 256 grid. I just wonder how they did that in 1985. Maybe they manually drew a grid on it and then typed it in? I mean, assuming that it all started as a drawing. I have no inside information on the process.

Glimmermark session 54: oh wow, the dice didn't like them today, they didn't even manage to get to the level they wanted to investigate without 4 encounters, then later fought a giant leech ("these things regenerate?") and got waylaid by a giant lizard on the way back. Didn't help that they also rolled badly and just didn't deal the damage they normally do.

I've been adding my stuff at https://rpg-trader.com/creator/924/norton-glover

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.

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.

Avatar gondorrevealparty 5d being a Bandit is pretty great. Just got a new place with a couple friends, in Doghammer Cave (long history of hammering dogs there). It's pretty nice for the area! Zero bedrooms zero bathrooms, but it's got a falling spikeball trap in the entrance and a couple big linear multipurpose rooms full of barrels. I put a couple gold coins in each barrel. Really makes it feel like home. Our leader is Klade Doghammer (long history of hammering dogs). He's the only one of us with a name. He likes to sit in the last room (our house has a last room because it's linear) at a desk with a half-finished page of notebook about how he'll get revenge on the town someday. My best friend Female Archer Bandit said the people in the town don't even consider us human. She says if you stay a bandit long enough they kill you for money. Sometimes when she and I are alone on watch late at night I get a funny feeling in my bandit parts. I think I just heard the falling spikeball trap go off. We didn't invite anyone over today but I hope it's someone friendly. Being a bandit is pretty great.

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!

A screenshot from sales of a game called "Dungeon Hero". Three transactions are for $3 each, but they added $1, $2, and $7 to more than double the asking price of the games.

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 🤔

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

Alt...

The zines and the figures on my table. Orc Borg is standing out because of its bigger size and very vivid colors. Dirt Bag has a very chaotic comic-style cover with a reduced color palette. It looks like something a 14 year-old in an Gen X body would enjoy.

@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.
