Oeh. I'll join that wagon. My first would be FATE Core. And the last is Yoon-Suin: 2nd Edition.

Hardcover books of Fate Core and Yoon-Suin.

Ran Mausritter with a monster GM last night; a player who plays the adversaries. It made total sense; last week our bat cultist joined the side of the bats that the party assailed. The player genuinely cared about the bats. Any unwarranted violence against them was met with winged fury. Glorious.

This project is just an excuse for me to collab with other creators. Very excited.

For the jam this weekend, I wrote a module to say goodbye to a character who died. Coincidentally, two player characters died today. One of the things in the module is that you give the character sheet the same funeral you gave the characer. I'll share a link once it's out of WIP. Be safe.

Flights of Fancy is happening! At the table! Mice are - like - flying and stuff!

thanks for sharing that. Even if it doesn't help you - which I hope it does - it helps others know they're not the only ones feeling that way.

Mailbag day! David McGrogan's Yoon-Suin 2nd Edition is a unique landscape hardcover with clear layout and illustrations inside. Pages feel nice and solid and the illustrated A3 poster is a cool bonus.

Clear layout and flavourful art inside, accompanied by an A3 full-colour poster of the city.

If you're into camera directions in RPGs, there's also a great reference spread for that in @everest.bsky.social's World Ending Game.

Just played Anthony Grasso's Blister Critters from @stillfleet.bsky.social @ #RPGNightUtrecht.

This game's stuffed with tools and tips for tongue-in-cheek shenanigans: catchphrases, yelling out your special move, ad-lib commercials, camera directing and my fave: d20 last words (I made it d6).

I ran over my word limit, but of course this means that I'm ditching the adventure I had in mind. It's cross-over time!

Peter Elroy @fanterland.itch.io · 23d

Mailbag day! The wonderfully eclectic community project for Mausritter arrived today: Tomb of a Thousand Doors by the community, lead by @manarampmatt.bsky.social.

By pure coincidence, I am running Blister Critters tonight, which has a crossover adventure with Tomb of a Thousand Doors at the back.

Hardcover book of Tomb of a Thousand Doors. A mouse navigates a dungeon filled with bats, skeletons and moles.

The Critter of a Thousand Blisters, a Blister Critters cross-over adventure with Tomb of a Thousand Doors, a Mausritter megadungeon.

Just player Milk Bar: Cut Your (Milk) Teeth by @peregrinecoast.press . Exploring the ruined remains of Bełchatów was a sorrowful reminder of what had been lost. Returning to our Milk Bar reminded us of warmth and what may be rebuilt. We raise a glass to home, hope and a belly full of warm pierogi.

The milk bar zine, pierogi (or the polish supermarket's closest alternative) and a glass of milk.

Not coincidentally, we fully expect that our upcoming adventures from Flights of Fancy will fit snugly in this box too. Coming soon in Mausritter Month.
