The 2026 Appendix N Jam wrapped up this weekend, with public voting having concluded yesterday. Congrats to the audience pick! Looking forward to seeing the judges picks. I’m pleasantly surprised with the numbers of my own entry. Pretty decent for a first attempt. #AppxNJam #appxnjam26

The wait is finally over... Here it is, my entry for Appendix N Jam 2026, as well as my first distributed adventure as Vandalorum Press. I think the result I came up with was pretty decent. A great learning experience! Please have a look, drop a rating. Feedback encouraged! #AppxNJam #OSR #TTRPG

Back on 5E bullshite. Halfling Monk named Brother Wren. KO’d a ruffian with a teapot 🫖 Quite possibly my finest hour. #5E #DnD

“4539 tunnels, 256 dungeons, 1 hidden treasure” sounds like the worst megadungeon.

A 1983 ad for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin, a dungeon crawling RPG for the Intellivision by APh Technological Consulting The text warned players that "These dungeons are going to give you the creeps. Getting rid of them is your problem."

A noticeable secret door isn’t specifically elf-made itself, it’s just inconspicuously marked with elvish hobo signs.

Victoria local printmaking studio Print Hole has been hosting Fantasy Fest this weekend, a variety of fantasy events across multiple venues. Last night I stopped by a live set by dungeon synth artist @cliwen.bsky.social and got their awesome album on vinyl. #fantasysynth #dungeonsynth #nowspinning

I feel this vintage hit-and-miss engine and I are kindred spirits, putting along just as best we can.

Went to Heritage Acres for their Fall Faire. Ate two varieties of corn (popped and steamed). Rode a miniature train. Had my mugshot taken. Good times. 🚂💨🌽 #heritageacres #VIME

I generally default towards a Pre-packaged Party-style TTRPG table.

I've been talking about play style preferences lately, but there's another aspect of table culture that I think is a key determining factor on whether a gaming table stays together. Whether you're playing Cairn, Mothership, or Vampire. widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/ttrpg-table-...

All AI generated content can do is waste your time. It is, in this sense, stealing your life, the precious finite time you have on this earth from you, every second you are forced to interact with it, forcing you to look at its meaninglessness. It is a mindless vampire.

Dance With Danger by @ibir.cc is jaw-dropping awesome! All the individual elements of writing, layout, map, colour, vibes, etc. come together and play off each other like notes in a song, creating whole that is much greater than the sum of its parts. 👌 #AppxNJam #OSR #Shadowdark #TRPGs

I'm perusing the 300+ Appendix N entries, rating and sharing some of the ones I dig here, so keep an eye on this space if that's your... jam. #AppxNJam #OSR #TTRPGs

During our hike yesterday my partner pointed out something at the edge of the trail. We both got excited because it appeared we found a Dyer’s Polypore aka Phaeolus schweinitzii! We took a couple specimens for further examination and dye experiments. 🧶 #fungusamongus #fungifriends #mushroommonday

My partner is a fibre artist (spinning, dying, weaving, etc.) and recently I got her The Rainbow Beneath My Feet, A Mushroom Dyer’s Field Guide; I also stated I want to track down Dyer’s Polypore for her. And here we are! 😄 Will keep informed how dye experimentation do.

Though written for Daggerheart, I think there’s plenty of inspiration to be found in the Knights of the Black Banner, such as the imaginative locations and the novel chase mechanics. #adventure #appxnjam #daggerheart

The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Jam wrapped up last night. Go check out all the cool entries, including my own! Kudos to @ketracelblack.blacksky.app for hosting it!🤘 #OSR #THEBLACKHACK #TBH10th #TTRPGs

I really enjoyed The Appendix N Jam and was still keen to flex my creativity and hone my neophyte skills, so I was quick to jump on The Black Hack 10th Anniversary Jam by @ketracelblack.blacksky.app 🤘 Hope ya'll enjoy this two-page dungeon I came up with! Cheers! #OSR #TBH10th #THEBLACKHACK #TTRPG

Kind words are always appreciated, especially when they get what you were going for. Hopefully I can to get back into some of my own Appendix N Jam reviews; I’ve been distracted with other projects and RL stuff.

95. Thaumaturge of the Alizarin Pool by @vandalorum.itch.io A system-neutral OSR weird temple crawl ✨ Layout & look really nails that ancient, used book vibe. A constellation-themed vault with little combat, great loot, & the kind of puzzle-heavy traversal that'll make players & PCs feel clever

Did a bit of ‘research’ for this jam yesterday by visiting Francis/King Regional Park. 🌲🦌🍄‍🟫 #touchmoss

Yet another jam? Sign me up! The timeline on this one is pretty tight though, around a fortnight! Hopefully I can create something decent by then! Ideas have already been percolating in my brain meats. 🧠 🔮🌲 #mysticwoodjam

Today we dressed up and attended the 2nd Victoria Renaissance Faire at Banfield Park. Nice to see its on the way to becoming a real proper ren faire. Just needs some food trucks slinging turkey legs to munch in the beer garden! 🍗🍺 #vicrfs #yyj
