Nibiru: Revisited Step once again into a colossal space station, home to millions, where stories of drama and struggle are written on a daily basis.

In the Nibiru TTRPG, the Vagabonds whose lives you'll inhabit may recall memories from anything ranging from a collage of human recollections, to the virally-transmitted memories of AIs turned sentient, and even to remembrances connected to places and things.

If I remember right, The Royal Cartographer did it a couple years ago, one side for the GM-less version of the game, the other side for the solo version of the game.

Day 4 of Nibiru on Kickstarter!

The Skyless World is a megastructure of unknown origin, where the beating heart of the Core and its artificial gravity exert influence over its steel expanse - thoroughly shaping its autochthonous, bioelectric lifeforms.

Thank you. I think I'm just gonna make it a cosy evening with some comfort movie or game and hope that tomorrow deals me a better hand.

Shouldn't have said anything, I jinxed it. The afternoon class was insufferable, the teachers were utterly unable to handle them, and I'm now wishing I had one of those squeezable spheres, 'cause I feel the need to let out my frustration on something. jfc. Gah.

What Dust Remains has a free excerpt so you can check out why it's beloved.

It is one of my favorite games to have designed—and one of the gut-wretchingly punchiest ones.

Man, today's gonna be one of those shitty days, I can already tell. Slept poorly, sliced myself on a knife, and now I'm feeling frustated because I think I did a school guided tour poorly. And I have to do another in the afternoon, which is making me anxious and stressed. Awful start to a week.

Worldbuilding: The Religion Megapost | Araukana Get more from Araukana on Patreon

If you are interested in worldbuilding, I spent a good amount of time writing this resource about religion that I think a lot of people could get mileage about, especially given how rife with misconceptions folk are regarding belief.

It has plenty cute drawings too.

Today I hosted @alwayscheckers.bsky.social's A Complicated Profession for the first time in person (only had played it online previously), and it's probably the most well-received game I brought to monthly #ttrpg get-togethers in years. Conquered everyone at the table, and even some outside of it!

Today I ran the session 0 for this campaign, and I'm pretty pumped for the upcoming sessions! @robertturk.bsky.social's Vale of the Failed and the Fallen is one of the #ttrpgs I came across recently that does session 0, worldbuilding, and campaign setup the best, and everyone left feeling excited!

If “frame a scene” sounds scary, try this one weird trick Sorry, For The Queen, there’s a new beginner-friendly, card-based story game in town.

Today I recorded and uploaded almost three hours of transcription work, adapting the Foundations adventure for Nibiru to the new Nibiru: Revisited. If you have the patience to listen to at least a fraction, I think its cool insight into how I write/edit prose!
