I'm horrible at posting here, but just wanted you folks to know I released Verdant, my system for running a #hexcrawl in #shadowdark The rules fit in a brochure. Go check it out! It's free and under Creative Commons. ibir.itch.io/verdant #ttrpg #shadowdarkrpg

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

GMing is great! I'm playtesting a module with my local RPG club. I was worried that I didn't know if the players would ever find a way around the exact situation I wanted them to be in. Luckily I'm not the one that needs to come up with solutions, and a player had a really smart way around ...

The Lizardfolk that took the catnip were also poisoned, and now they are siding with the PCs to face the snakefolk priests that poisoned them. The party went to "we are all going to be sacrificed" to having an army of Lizardfolk to overthrow the Slithering God and its servants

The thing is that I did not know this could be a solution. I wrote the adventure, I put all the clues and interactions there, but to me this outcome was unthinkable until the players made it inevitable. It's the 4th time I'm running this. Every time I see new amazing ideas coming from players

Earlier this session, the party found a room full of poisonous snake skin and a basket of catnip. They had just fought a jaguar and thought it would be good to keep some around. The wizard noticed that while handling the catnip, he didn't have to roll CON to not get poisoned, so he took a bunch ...

Back at the sacrificial altar, the wizard declares that where they come from, it is a custom to eat this leaf before an important event, so he serves catnip to all PCs and Lizardfolk in the room. They all eat it and it cuts the poison that made them part of the cult. The snakefolk priests go mad...

Praise Mboikangue has a gimmick that PCs can accidentally (or not so much) become a part of a cult. If they drink poisoned alcohol, for example, they get a handout that welcomes them to this sacrificial cult and gives them some guidelines of what that means. ...

So we had 3 players that became cultists, and 2 that weren't. They just got set up as sacrifices by an NPC that was supposed to be the one sacrificed and was allegedly helping them out. The room was full of lizardfolk that would be furious if they squirmed out of being sacrificed. ...

YES!

I wrote a post about keying, and how it's weird that we don't have a name for all the various styles! Note: this post is not about the best kind of keying (though my preference does exist). It's more about naming the thing so we can discuss the thing. newschoolrevolution.com/the-keys-to-...

This week I decided to redo all the art for Verdant because why not. It's been a fun process so far, even though it will take me forever to finish it now.

There's been a post going around on Reddit about the reality of using platforms like Kickstarter and BackerKit. And I think it's very important for independent creators to realize a couple of things before they get started with those platforms. So here is a free post on my patreon about those.

Yesterday I also managed to draw these two maps for the adventures I'm working on. Definitely a productive Sunday!

I have a Danish proficiency exam coming up later this year, so I figured I'd study some TTRPG vocabulary with this Rosetta Stone here. The notebook I printed myself. It uses the cover art of Praise Mboikangue because it rocks.

And since I found this in Wolves upon the Coast and referenced it in my post, I must ask: @lukegearing.bsky.social , would this by any chance be a reference to the Brazilian meme of little flying cocks? "Invaders from the south" makes me think that yes :D

More of you folks playing Shadowdark need to check out Cenotes of the Crayfish God! Look at that amazing cover! It's a big dungeon crawl with well-developed factions, interesting themes, and it's laid out to be super easy to run without flipping back and forth. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

These days I've been rediscovering the joy of drawing. It started with me trying my hand at two illustrations I was missing for my upcoming #shadowdark adventure, but now I feel like I want to draw a whole bestiary for my campaign setting :D #fantasy #art #ttrpgart #osrart #oldschool #rpg

The fired Rockstar workers are asking supporters not to boycott GTA 6, but instead, to directly support the union's legal costs as it approaches next month's employment tribunal.

This weekend, I played in a MÖRK BORG tournament with ~50 players trying to reach the heart of Hell in 2,5 hours with as few deaths as possible. The grim reaper patrolled the tables, flail in hand, feeding slain PCs’ sheets to a shredder. All GMs had corpse paint. We didn’t win, but it felt like it.

I managed to get two groups to playtest Praise Mboikangue! New speedrun record for it is 10 hours from the Saturday playsession

I printed an updated copy of Praise Mboikangue! for upcoming playtests and just wanted to share this lovely spread with arts from my friend Marcos (marcos_machette on Instagram). I love his characters, so I hired him to do all the portraits for the adventure, plus a couple images of the village.

And here's a couple of my favorite character portraits in this adventure: The 200-year-old talking snake Ybakyguara, and the High Priest of Mboikangue.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

A pause from political rage posting to appreciate this piece of art I came home to for my upcoming adventure, Praise Mboikangue! By @gasparisme.bsky.social I'm glad we managed to squeeze an anteaterfolk in the adventure even though they are not part of the adventure. #ttrpg #osr #shadowdark #dnd

i’ve still seen people not take trump seriously on greenland but i’ve never been more certain he really does want to colonize it

My notes on Trump's claim that to make up for corporate losses after Venezuela nationalised oil in the 70s, the US gets to take all of the oil reserves. Trump doesn't need democratic excuses for regime change anymore. All it takes is for a US corporation to have lost a dime due to nationalisation.

I have never seen anything more impotent than the EU right now. The US just invaded a nation for its own financial benefit, murdered dozens, disappeared the de facto leader, claimed governance and the oil - and has openly said Greenland is next, and our leaders are here going "oh well yeah haha"

Very excited to watch the UN and NATO and that ever-disgusting Rutte try to weakly explain why the US can freely invade a nation and kidnap the leader of a nation simply because it doesn't benefit the US that the sovereign leader doesn't like them.
