Made a handy list to follow for finding TTRPG inspo geared towards objects and art pieces. I've found such accounts to be extremely helpful for on the spot treasure creation. check it out!

sure; a supplemental list of items, locations, people can be made without adding rules and such. if its a collection that can add to your games material i just call it a supplement. can that include rules? it can, idk, but thats not really what i look for in supplemental material

super cool study found human artifacts in Bearded vulture nests, incl. "weaponry like a crossbow bolt and wooden lance, decorated sheep leather, and parts of a slingshot....a shoe made from twigs and grass is ~675-years-old." link to paper: doi.org/10.1002/ecy..... www.popsci.com/environment/... 🧪🌍🦉

Multi-generational vulture nests hold 700 years of human artifacts

Crossbow bolts, sandals, slingshots, and more.

the single panel comic by B. Kliban depicting a self important cartoonist flanked by two, tall beautiful women. His pathway is being cleared by lowly street scum by a policeman, who obviously protect a society’s most important members. in the text box it reads “Out of the way you swine! A game designer is coming!” where “game designer” replaces the original text reading “cartoonist”

i get the interpretation of bandits as down on their luck ppl forced to survive after abandonment from the state, but i honestly prefer to think of them as professional soldiers turned to privatization, like US Operator culture.

Hello friends - My only income is from art/illustration and I didn't get a huge amount of work this month. My financial situation is pretty bleak as a result. If you like the work I make and can spare a small amount to help me make ends meet I'd appreciate it a lot. Thanks

people suggest blogs and yo for rpg ideas, world building/lore inspo when honestly the best stuff you'll find is stuff like a pdf scan of an essay from the 70s titled "Lip-Blown Instruments of Ireland Before The Norman Invasion"
