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 🥳
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:
Ha, the origin of our favorite Monster Manual girls (NSFW):

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?

"Umdaar is pulling out all the stops, bringing Fate to life with as many frameworks and optional rules as possible... take any claims that ‘Fate is a rules-light game’ and trample them with your dinosaur mount. "
- @LevelOneWonk with an excellent review of both Umdaar as a game, and its place within the larger historical context of the entire Fate #ttrpg line.

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.

The Spiritual Healing of Oracular Play – Unturned Hovel

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.

#TTRPG
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.
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.
