Jason (derogatory)

Oh hey, it's me, Jason (derogatory), of Von Skulltaker Industries. Did you know I make things sometimes? It's news to me, as well! Here's a few of them:

I've got a special treat today! We organized a collaborative project in @prismaticwasteland.com's discord. Our goal was a hexcrawl project inspired by OVER THE GARDEN WALL. This is the PRISMATIC PUMPKINCRAWL. 31 powderkeg-packed hexes. It's completely free. mindstormpress.itch.io/prismatic-pu...

Making a dungeon map today to get more ASCII practice in. Also made a version of the map using @chaoclypse.bsky.social 's Xerox Hell web app. chaoclypse.itch.io/xerox-hell Looks like a map straight out of an evil video game creepypasta. DO NOT BRING THE BLACK KEY HERE ON FRIDAY THE 13th!!!

Hey #OSR perverts: what version of Conan should I read? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conan_(...

B/X stocking procedure via a tarot card draw. The distribution of empty/monster rooms is a different, but it could be a useful technique to layout configurations/dungeon morphs.

How ‘bout we prove these dipshits wrong

I adapted this very fun, very weird, and VERY wet adventure so you can play it using Shadowdark! Go check it out!!!

Do you want to help block AI from being normalized as part of the TTRPG industry? Yes? Great! Hasbro corporate leadership would like to stuff it into your face, while the actual creatives don't want it. So go sign the support letter for the D&D and Magic Workers unionizing.

This adventure I wrote is live now on Kickstarter! It's got 88 pages, 2.5 dungeons, a big point crawl, and a town with some problemsssssss, baby. Look at that art! Look at those maps! Stay frosty!!!

Very excited to be working for the 3rd year w/ NESS Magazine!@newedgeswordmag.bsky.social Creating all new colour-ways of the end-page pattern I designed for the 2026 issues! This orange/blue combo for fall might be my favourite 🧡✨

Whoa… someone steal this HP grid system. youtu.be/6GE2kXiF1I0?... And check out this rad looking game on Steam.

Old-school Essentials has some real sickos.jpg rules for constructing a castle. Here is a simplified method: Print out this page. Each block costs 1,000 gp for basic construction, or 1,500 gp for a furnished section. Arrange to taste.

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-...

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

The artists are still dead. Their art is still free.

Cairn Press is VERY happy to announce our next kickstarter: A Sliver of Evidence by @karlyanddd.bsky.social. www.kickstarter.com/projects/cai...

Finished redrawing the The Golden Knight! This is 1 of 4 that will get dropped end of month to my Patrons. You can support me on patreon and have access to numerous royalty free pieces of art

The Ten Eyed Oracle, starting out the Ts of the ShadowDark Monster Manual #teneyedoracle #shadowdark #monstermanual #dndart #osrart

Happy Hobbit Day! To celebrate, I released a 12-page adventure location set in a 2000 year old fantasy movie set. It's made for Vaults of Vaarn, but can be adapted to any weird post-apoc game. Pipeweed Blend generator by me; art by my daughter Emma! #ttrpg

Oh it's Hobbit Day! I will take the opportunity to talk about some of my hobbity projects. 1st, the Middle-earth Hexcrawl has mapped the entire Shire! It's free: riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2025/12/midd... 2nd, Under Hill, By Water is the game for folks who don't want no adventures, thankee!

Man Time Over Goblin Time Begin.

Finally picked up the @evlynmoreau.bsky.social Small Party figures by @justinsirois.bsky.social from my favorite game store, @gamesantacruz.bsky.social. They’re so cute!

The slow accumulation of a world, a vibe, a personal style. In the past 6 mos I've been looking at lots of Amano & Suemi. Masters. Of course I happen to make with my own visual language, and it's been fun to see that growth!

You gotta be more careful.

I could have sworn I was done with Kickstarters. I was just proven horribly wrong.

Redrew the Golden Knight in my sketchbook tonight - markers and posca

This fucking rules.

NEW WILDWOOD TRAILER JUST DROPPED!!! I was in the department that built the wild-wood itself. Come see all our hard work! youtu.be/bJQGtSeLPII?...

It's live! 🎲 The System Neutral Kit Bundle is now available on RPG Trader. A bundle of 75 adventures, settings, NPCs, items, bestiaries, tools, art and other useful bits from some great indie creators - all system neutral. $15 or PWYW. Go have a rummage through it👇 rpg-trader.com/products/927...

Alright here goes.... Boundless is being crowdfunded in February, but here's a surprise: you can get the full game and play today! I worked closely with Backerkit to offer a new way for you to "reserve" your digital copy of the game at a big discount that would count towards the total fund goal!

After 3 years in development, HELLCRAWL is finally live on DriveThruRPG! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #TTRPG #OSR #OSE

I have a new blog post up on my website! September's RPG Blog Carnival is about money and I kinda went way overboard. I love historical money & #dnd fantasybux. 😊 Please click below and enjoy literally dozens of illustrations & descriptions in a d66 table! dungeonsandpossums.com/2026/09/sept...

HIS MAJESTY THE WORM, 2023

New Dice Exploder today with @jeeyon.bsky.social! We talked about a very specific two page spread in Blades in the Dark called "What Is There to Eat in Duskwall." Jeeyon gets to go off about life layers and we go all over the place, take a listen.

The Old minds saw the judgment to come.

The best part of being an artist is that you can just draw whatever dumb idea comes to your head at 1am

Coming Soon from Cairn Press! A Sliver of Evidence by @karlyanddd.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/cai...

I'm happy to announce that the first two zines from the Cairn Press "Double Feature" is now available on the Cairn Store! store.cairnrpg.com/products/wha... store.cairnrpg.com/products/the...

I've been absent for a good while. It was for positive reasons. Space away from socials for several weeks is very helpful! I spent some time putting my art into mock MtG cards for kicks!

Stingbats attack! #stingbat #shadowdark #monstermanual #osrart #dndart

My advice for referees: read a fucking book barenuckelavee.bearblog.dev/inspiration-...

Definitely take a look at this, even if you're not into miniatures game. It's a great design (and fun to play as well). Grab a few paper minis (or make your own!) on DTRPG and you can try it right away!
