Bluesky CENSORED me yesterday by just fucking up and not working, but here is a new blog post where I propose a procedural method for generating hexcrawl terrain, inspired by both Mausritter and the original DMG

So, I know a lot of quintessential OSR/NSR titles are missing from that shelf, but that's only because many of those are prohibitively hard to acquire here in Brazil. Ideally, this would include:
- Electric/Mystic Bastionland
- HMTW
- The Electrum Archive
- TBH
- Vaults of Vaarn
- Songbirds
- OSE
Queria ter mais zines, mas raramente encontro pra vender em PT-BR (e meu grupo não joga/lê em inglês). Acho que até hoje, só encontrei Knave, Espadas Afiadas & Feitiços Sinistros (o maioral!), Mausritter, Maze Rats e Liminal Horror nesse formato, e os últimos três estão esgotados faz anos. ):
That's the one! I grabbed it to support the release of more Borg-like games here in Brazil, but I ended up loving the ruleset and the default setting. Still gotta check out the adventures, though, but I've only heard good things about 'em.

When I started reorganizing my shelves, I could've *sworn* there was no way I could fit all of the TTRPG books I still regularly use in a single shelf, but here we are.
The rest are still sorted by collections (though they're mostly cWoD books), but hot damn. This is gonna be so much easier to use!
Overall, I think this is yet another great tool made by Ty that I'll be permanently adding to my GMing Belt. Can't wait to try this at the table!
After reading and digesting the post, I have three main thoughts:
- On a surface level, this feels like a more grounded, direct and actionable version of FATE Aspects, A+
- Not sure how this will play moment-to-moment, but it's great for prepping situations
- Holy shit, this is SO customizable!
Recently, I wrote a module for FIST which centered around betrayals and a Prisoner's Dilemma. How DO you set up a 'fair' betrayal as a Game Master? I'm not sure yet - but I do have thoughts!

It'd be a first, lmao, but it's a remote possibility. Your blog is part of my blogosphere Mount Rushmore, along with Sandro's, Joshy's and Warren's. My GOATs haven't led me astray yet, so y'all remain unwashed.
I haven't been all that active in the TTRPG space lately, but a new Ty blog post is ALWAYS a great reason to come out of my cave. Can't wait to dig into it; will update this skeet later with my thoughts!
⚡ NEW BLOG POST! I'm back talking about adventure design, this time laying out a mental model for 'energy' inside of an adventure. It's a simple and effective way to categorize elements inside of the scenario and look for stagnation and chaos. Check it out! ⚡

This is a bit of a vanity project, so my budget for it is pretty limited, but Imma PM you later today anyway! Having your art in one of my games has been part of my bucket list for *ages*.
Whoa, didn't know Dieselshot did these! Honestly, I feel like at least a handful of them would be good matches for some of the frames. Definitely something I'm gonna keep in mind. Thanks a bunch!
Thank you so much!!
After a bit of experimenting, I came to the conclusion that I'd really like some illustrations for the Frame Classes. I'm gonna try my hand at making silhouettes, but just in case this doesn't work, do y'all know of any CC BY mech art, or even some mech-related art packs for sale?

In The Castle Automatic, rival adventuring guilds can provide rumors, serve as temporary allies, or oppose the players' progress!

I'm still trying to figure out how I'm gonna handle Kriegwalkers' Frame Class spreads without illustrations, but in the meantime, here's a look at the Pilot Profiles and Krieger creation rules. I hope I'm not missing any major archetype here, lmao.
Welp, gonna have to cancel my first game night in over a month. It's raining cats and dogs.
Love this quote so much. I swear I'm gonna get a tattoo with it someday.
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL IS GOING TO HAPPEN
Sometimes I remember that there are people I've been mutuals with since 2009-2010, and it's incredible that they're still around and, more importantly, that we've followed each other on all the platforms we've been on.
Even though we don't talk much, or at all, it feels good.
Getting big Madoka Magica vibes here, and I love it.
Oh, hey, you might actually be my target audience this time around, lmao. I have a Mörk Borg hack inspired by heroic fantasy in the works; it's pretty much finished, too. I just need to sit down and lay it out.
Here's a quick, slightly outdated look at two of the classes: bsky.app/profile/mach...
I'm SO guilty of renaming archetypical parts of the hobby in my games, but I swear I don't do it casually, lmao. Part of it is a legitimate concern for copyright issues (DM being copyrighted is absurd, but oh well), though flavouring also plays a part.
Yep! É um hack bem simples de World of Dungeons, então não tô muito preocupade com equilíbrio, mas se rolar um playtest, pode deixar que te chamo \o/
I've always preferred my dice rolls/resolution rules to be active instead of reactive. If a character tries to do something they may fail at and failure can make things worse for them, sure, roll some dice. But if they fuck up *in the fiction*, dice rolls shouldn't be a get-out-of-jail-free card.
I've started something I've been dreaming of: a play-by-post DANGER CLOSE campaign, drop-in/drop-out, open to anyone, on Discord. I post missions, people post their logs, and when the time limit expires, the war evolves. Helldivers, but play-by-post. Join in! discord.gg/zB9PhT3chT

So, I know I've been MIA for a while (needed lots of bed rest after surgery), but here's a look at the intro for Kriegwalkers and a quick layout test!
Good-looking, sturdy d20s are hard to find here in Brazil. You can easily order some cheap, disposable and unreliable sets online, but they're really prone to chipping, and are often unintentionally loaded due to poor manufacturing.
