Running Mythic Bastionland Run Mythic Bastionland with confidence: map creation, realm population, sparking conflict, Omens, Sites, calendars, and lightweight prep tools.

Shameless self-promo: I had a lot of fun writing this. My take on how to get started and run Mythic Bastionland, based on what clicked for me.

I agree with everything you said, but you’re a professional artist

"We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death"

Excellent choice of music, from my hometown

Instant buy!

Instead of drawing and making MÖRK BORG releases, I’ve spent a LOT of stressful time dealing with bullshit distributors in the US. WOGD, ofc, but before that; Brandfox. They currently owe us tens of thousands of dollars that they never had any claim to (basically stole from us). Honestly fuck them.

I've released an update to the Mythic Bastionland – Unofficial Referee Tools.

A complete realm generator: seat of power, cast, relationships, conflict, drama, woe, and landmarks. More detailed NPCs, NPC Knights, and bug fixes.

I'll review most of the strings, maybe use a kind of natural language processing to assign the correct articles/plurals

Yes, most of the tools also include the Foundry system

Built a little tool for Mythic Bastionland

Referee tools: roll tables, sparks, knights, warbands, NPCs, and squires. Quick to use, easy to share.

A year ago today I had an exhibition with my art and rpg books in a rococo palace at an art festival in Jesi, Italy. Pretty wild if you ask me.

My thoughts on Mythic Bastionland #osr weirdwonder.bearblog.dev/mythic-basti...

Decided to spend valuable time putting most of my BORG-related products on the floor and taking a picture of them. I miss some items that are in my storage unit (or that I just lost) but this is most of it. A bunch of cool stuff in this pile, honestly.

So people-centered adventure design is how I approach gming games and writing adventures. I am currently running Mythic Bastionland for my home game and I find that taking a person-centered approach really works ground components of the mythical setting. What does this look like? 1/4 #osr

Leaving your comfort zone and exploring new creative expressions is the best way to grow as an artist, I feel. Right now I am completely lost and have no idea what I'm doing, but I know that in a couple of days, I'll get the hang of this and after that, I will have leveled up as a designer.

Last week I missed the 10th Anniversary of the original edition of Into the Odd!

Amazing to see people still discovering and enjoying it a decade later.

Early this year, we lost Jennell Jacquays. To just say that she was a TTRPG and video game designer would be doing her contributions a disservice, but that was my main intersection with her legacy. I want talk about why, historically, her work was such a blessing to dungeon design🧵
#gamedev #ttrpg

MÖRK BORG is a game about corrupt and incompetent royal despots and doomsday cult leaders ruling their powerless subjects with religious persecution, excessive violence and apocalyptic fearmongering. The sea is boiling and the end is near but no one seems to care. Needless to say, this is political.

Lol the X bigots who make a BlueSky account to cry « stop having fun and a nice time here!!!Come back to X to confront your opinions with our very predictable bigoted opinions! »
