I'm flattered that you thought of me twice, but give @crackerjackalope.bsky.social a moment in the spotlight too!

Beanjackers - Zachary Elliott-Hatton | DriveThruRPG Breaking! Entering! Absconding! Negotiating? Subterfuge! The Earth is dominated by colossal beanstalks. Once a beacon of hope and plenty, the world's population now huddle in their shadows, sandwiched...

"Beanjackers" is Jack and the Beanstalk with werewolves, robots and machine guns.

It had my players free-falling hundreds of meters inside of a bank vault that had been jettisoned from a zeppelin in order to steal a magical bean mid-flight.

Yeah, we can tell.

Thank you for reminding me that I also need to 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘵𝘦 my work!

Let's go with... Minimal Impact: a tiny game played from the bad guys' perspective, readying dungeon traps and rallying minions just one or two rooms ahead of the adventuring party's progress.

Alien.

Wait no-

You could probably do the levitating spellbook thing using kit bashing if you have the pro subscription, but I've never tried it myself.

They have it as an item. Search for "Mage Hand Spell Effect" under the gear tab.

... Is that the BBC Sound Effects Library..?

For when your opponent thinks that they're safe hiding around the corner.

The OP is using the word "puzzle" when really what they're describing is more like an "obstacle".

Only one game I've released has partial-success rules (along with very permissive skills), because I wanted to explicitly reward players taking action and doing what they can. I usually prefer binary success/failure in the text, then interpret that how you see fit in the moment.

My answer is a resounding "it depends." If we're going for heroic fantasy, I usually try to give my players something they can use even if it's not what they wanted. But other times hitting a wall and having to plan a new approach is the whole game.

Got there mere seconds before I did!

I just realised what day it is, and still has 45 minutes left to share this:

That's not a leak, they use it for the manoeuvring thrusters.

"Wow, you take such good care of your hair. Allow me, a complete stranger, to walk up and put my disgusting fingers in it."

This is a familiar experience.

Last year was 3rd March -> 28th April, if that helps.
This year the theme announcement is 2nd March, so I would imagine the deadline will be similar to last year too.

My games:

Protomancer: Not only dry but hydrophobic, unless you release the sludge. Even then it's more of a clinging dampness.

Beanjackers: Outwardly wet, inwardly dry.

I Could Do This In My Sleep: Wet like a swimming pool; you don't notice it until you climb out.

Minimal Impact: Wet ink smell.

Also just noticed I've accidentally made a reverse-crab, with 8 arms and 2 legs. Or perhaps an octopus wearing trousers?

A simple battle map with six zones, a large crab, and a knight's helmet in a pool of blood with a skull and crossbones symbol. Beside the map is a stat block for the crab.

Close-up of the dead knight's token.

Giant Sand Crab might be just a little too tough for a 1st level encounter right now.

If by "buying" you mean downloading the free bits, then yes.

For example, any question asking:
"Should group X get some sort of benefit?"
is also implicitly asking:
"Should group Y be penalised for not being group X?"

Never pass up an opportunity to tell the British government what a bunch of racist scum they are (eloquently).

Many of the questions are "gotchas" designed to get a particular response. Consider not just the questions as written, but their logical opposites while answering.

I might need to rename "burst" at some point. Burst in this context just means "fires multiple projectiles at once", while "full-auto" is a rule related to ammunition counting.

Highlighted textbox from a TTRPG page. The text reads: "A full-auto burst weapon may, every now and again, fire more rounds than loaded. Miracles sometimes occur on the battlefield - or perhaps you merely miscounted?"

Sometimes I like to dive into a game's maths and make everything logically consistent. Sometimes this is fine.

What I really need is for someone to invent a book format where the cover is landscape but the interior is portrait.

Decorations and manual tabs? That’s been working well for me.

A texture of perforated steel plate, striped with goopy yellow paint that's chipped in many places. Superimposed text reads: Steel. Iron as of blood, carbon as of breath. Forged in searing flame. Impenetrable. Perhaps.

I'm having far too much fun just making title page textures for this project.

Title font this time is "Grapple BRK" by Brian Kent.

I've sent you a little something. In my haste I may have also sent it to a Mr Flontlick.
