If you haven't been privvy to the latest Vaarn happenings, this is a good chance to peek behind the mylar curtains and see what Leo is cooking up.

I'm excited for when we start getting #osr hacks with ascii codes for where they fall on the tone spectrum.

\#dcdcdc hack, #808080 hack, all the way up to #696969 hack

Here's three of the ones I use most often when I'm asked "what book is on the table?"

I'm claiming yellow for mustard, but you're clearly onto something.

Hapless explorers haven't returned from a recently unearthed wasteland tomb. Time to send in more idio... er, the professionals! Mike takes the reins as Jon, Matt, and Ted uncover the secrets of HELL UNEARTHED, a Shadowdark dungeon by Cameron Maas!

Jamie's fundraiser for Edinburgh Food Project Help Jamie Adams raise money to support Edinburgh Food Project

Jamie is doing a 24 hour Mythic Bastionland marathon to raise money for the Edinburgh Food Project. If you can, please spare him a donation!

@directsun.bsky.social I gotta ask though, is that a bloodstain behind Joe's head?
Is it some sort of 4th wall breaking ARG where there's a secret door in that panel and the opening mechanism is in that spot?

Designing Puzzles for Adventure Games at Gary Con 2026 YouTube video by Direct Sun

Yo so here’s the thing:

Fuck JK Rowling.

Have some self-respect and don’t watch the cynical money-grab. It directly supports transphobia and hate. Other books and shows exist.

Nice! How does it play? I haven't managed to play it yet, despite having the book for months now. I keep meaning to bash up some minis for it though.

I aspire to be Fleek Shongle.

a pretty pile of dice to one side of a wooden table, leaving space to show the logos for adventure dice, terminal city tabletop convention and the text: we're coming to you vancouver (again!) come find us at TCTV on march 13-15 2026!

We're back in #Vancouver for @terminalcitycon.ca next weekend! Come find us in the vendor area next to @raincity.games for a new game, a chat, or an extra set of lucky dice between turns...

3d6 DTL #Dolmenwood Ep 13, exclusively on Patreon! The party commits to securing Ribblemead's safe-keeping, but at what cost? The drunewife Maedred won't leave without exacting her revenge against the faeries, and the goat-folk are sorely tempted by her offering.

Something set on Prospero's Dream. Either one of the scenarios in APoF, or one of the many modules to come out of MoSh month that are set there.

Woah. You're going to need a really strong prescription cream for that I think?

Excited to see where this goes.

Hmm. Good advice!

I really like the way that The Electrum Archive does it with weapon speed checks.

Vaults of Vaarn 2E has an alternate method in the latest beta where you have to roll a d20 and get over your current encumberance, which I haven't tried out yet but sounds promising.

There's a guinea pig RPG!

The "Down Among the Dead" expansion book for Pirate Borg RPG, and next to it the "Cabin Fever" collection of adventures. Above them is a patch that says "Lost Soul" with an image of a pirate skeleton. #pirateborg

My books from the Down Among the Dead crowdfund arrived today, and they're gorgeous. @limithron.bsky.social has delivered another 100 proof rum soaked chest of gold with these.

I've been running a Pirate Borg campaign for almost a year now, it's some of the best RPG I've ever played.

Science-fantasy you say?

It was awesome talking to Chris about a favorite Mothership module of mine, Picket Line Tango on the Ansible Uplink!

🚨 New Incunabuli lore just dropped! 🚨

This one's really juicy. What if daemons were hive minds of microorganisms from a blood dimension?

Woohoo. I'm so glad that someone finally defined it once and for all!

Next "What is gonzo"? 😜

I somehow missed this last week, but check out some of the Mushfolk alumni playing Dungeon Inc. !

Of course you do. 😁

@planxconstant.bsky.social Look, more fucked up dice for you to traumatize the Astronomica crew with.

This is always what enthusiasm for something looks like to me.

I wonder if @riseupcomus.bsky.social can book this place for the inaugural WormCon ? 🤔
