Maybe just a touch of Yoyodyne in there too?
A spot illustration: A green-skinned goblin woman stands behind a bar surface, one hand on the bar before her, the other on a large rectangular bottle of alcohol. She wears a blue waistcoat, puffed sleeved shirt with arm garters, and a red ribbon in a bow at her neck. Her curly auburn hair is up in a bun, a small dagger sticking into it like a hairstick.

A spot illustration: A firbolg man with mauv skin holds a large carpet bag with a devilish smile. He wears a victorian jacket of aubergine, and accesorizes with a large chartruse bowtie and matching top hat. His hair and mustache are curled meticulously, and a long goatee stretches his already long face further. Text: Pistolheart A Western Campaign Supplement for Daggerheart by Carlos Cisco
A spot illustration: An old elven woman is hunched over, one hand on the back of her hip as if in pain, the other gripping a sawed off double barrel shotgun. She wears clothing inspired the styles of the 1830's/40's in mourning colors of black and dark purple. A dark bonnet, a bustled skirt over voluminous pantaloons. A scar mars her right eye and cheek.

I’m boothing at @oddmallpnw.bsky.social this weekend for Read/Write Memory and my games! Come say hi if you’re around

Finally have a day free from the daily grind to catch up on some TTRPG projects. Chewing through layout work on Last Round Table, an upcoming Daggerheart compatible tier 2 adventure, and jammin' to these groovy folks.

Been in a mood to catch up on some gonzo 80's/90's movies lately.
Tonight's viewing: Split Second, with Rutger Hauer and Kim Cattrall.
A movie that felt exactly like how me and my friends would run it, if it was a Cyberpunk or Call of Cthulhu adventure.
I am pleased to announce that Bastion of Hope will be releasing on April 28th on DriveThruRPG, itch.io, and Heart of Daggers!
Pistolheart Volume 2 is live on DTRPG!
I'd prefer you purchase on Heart of Daggers or Itch, which give a much better cut to creators!
But if DTRPG is where you buy your 3rd party content, it's there waiting for you!

People over on Facebook/YouTube/elsewhere on bluesky/reality have been mocking this, but these are all totally genuine and highly advanced GMing techniques pioneered in obscure corners of indie rpg design in the early 2000s.
Let's go through them one by one and learn together.
Beyond happy to hear all the nice things @jpcoovert.bsky.social has to say about Breathless!

Hit serious burnout from a couple month's of crunching due to Ye Olde Daye Jorb. Trying to rest and recoup while poking at progress on my latest project, The Last Round Table, a "haunted" brewery adventure.
The hardest part is not running off on some new rabbit hole.. Focus tunes to the rescue!

Oh no, I feel the Mothership TTRPG addiction catching up to me..
But seriously you'd really hate it here. It's awful. So moist. 100% moist every hour every day. It's like a horse constantly licking your face. It's like living inside a paper straw.
Seriously, the worst, no vampires, all hipsters, all moist, you'd hate it here.
At the top black text reads: Check out: Below this are Four game boxes - clockwise from top: Pathfinder, Apocalypse Keys, Welcome to Night Vale, Girl by Moon Light.

I talked about being Black as a woman who works in and plays D&D with the Indianapolis Recorder and some of my badass coworkers on Magic :) indianapolisrecorder.com/black-repres...
THIS IS SO COOL 😍
A faun warrior with wooden armor, holding fast with vines around her feet, rising a giant wooden shield against a canine monster of bones and shadows
A goblin warrior jumping around with magical vines lashing out and swinging their copper sword
Here are a couple of pieces I did for @mikerunderwood.bsky.social for their upcoming #Daggerheart supplement:
A faun Oakheart Wardenn, and a goblin Vineheart Warden.
The faun piece is very special to me, as it was the very first illustration I completely did on Procreate.

And I helped!
Just finished up running two teams through back-2-back playtesting on our upcoming Tier 2 Daggerheart adventure, The Last Round Table. Absolutely fantastic teams, had a blast, and got so much valuable sweet sweet gameplay notes out of it.
Can't wait to share this with more folks!
When Dave Arneson purchased some wacky 20-sided dice in London, then later used them for his Blackmoor game, there's no way he even considered someone might be throwing one in space 50+ years later.
And talking about the gaming style he co-created.

The background image is an illustration of a field filled with yellow and orange flowers, low blue hills at the horizon. At the top of the image is the Norwescon logo made up of a rocket above the word Norwescon and a dragon below. Under the dragon are four photos. From left to right, a black and white photo of a smiling man with mustache and beard, a woman with red hair wearing a black dress smiling and standing in front of a rainbow united federation of planets flag, a woman with blond and orange hair wearing glasses and smiling as a bright green frog sits on one of the lenses, a white square with DAW in black letters underneath those same letters layered on top of one another, a woman with curly blonde hair smiling and looking into the camera, and a man with grey hair and glasses looking into the camera.
