Just finished up a blog post about how I prepared for, and continue prepping for my Shadowdark/ Caverns of Thracia campaign. If you're like me and prefer improvisation and light work to Blorb and legwork, give it a read. Hell, give it a read anyway!

Memory Tables for Magic-Users you have a devil bound in your 1. wand 2. staff 3. robe 4. hat

I'm Bringing Accuracy Back — Prismatic Wasteland Into the Odd famously jettisoned the “roll to hit” aspect of D&D derived combat. How can accuracy, specifically reducing an opponent’s accuracy by means of sand in the eyes or otherwise, be re-introdu...

i have no personal involvement here but i have been working on a theory as i observe discourse around marathon and all other live service shooters and it can be summed up as this: everyone just wants to play team deathmatch

Pokémon Is OSR — Prismatic Wasteland I elucidate the ways that the Pokémon games embody several principles of the OSR playstyle, which is maybe unsurprising when you consider the history of JRPGs.

Pokémon Is OSR. Yes, seriously

Into the Oddish is Heistfunding Now — Prismatic Wasteland Pre-Order a Pokémon tabletop roleplaying game parody of Into the Odd with Vileplume Mountain, a funhouse dungeon adventure.

Catch ‘Em All while you can! In commemoration of the 30th anniversary, I’m heistfunding a Poképocalyptic game based on Into the Odd. I call it INTO THE ODDISH!
You can pre-order it now (until ???)

seeing people actually installing linux this week after getting sick of big tech's perversion of the computer is unironically giving me hope. we can live in harmony with the computer when we don't let parasites in big tech put their evil sludge in it

I'm trying out Fluxer as a Discord alternative. I just made the first TTRPG platform on the server. I have no idea how it will go but there's only one way to find out. Come join me if you'd like!

So far it feels extremely similar to Discord, in a good way.
