Saturday night means it's time for wine and frivolous world building

The first cruise arrow is tested.

If you played any of my children's games: Cat Quest, Ultimate Battle Warriors, or Scary Cave. Please share the word.

They're very trrpg-like but they're not 100% that - so they need some extra word of mouth to be seen.

Just posted on my Patreon: the full draft of HARDCASE 2e's Character Creation chapter! Come get a look at who you'll be in #HC2e 💛

and running it with the lightness of World of Dungeons just frees up a group inculcated into modern play styles to utilise their own creativity and problem solving in a more old-school fashion, it's a delight. If anyone I've played 5e with for instance wants me to run this for them, hit me up!

the intricate and gradually-unveiling nature of the Caverns quickly outpacing the ability of the mapper to make sense of things and watching the group have to recalibrate their navigation on the fly as a result is a particular joy of running it this way

last time I tried it with my home group we played it real old school, with one of them as the dedicated mapper and so on, and it rocked

going through all kinds of phases of prepping potential games while not actively running any games and I think I've just circled all the way back around to wanting to take another crack at running Caverns of Thracia with World of Dungeons for Whoever Wants It

Oh yeah, BARBARIAN rocks

Spooky Season Painting #1: Ripley

anyway I'm deep into it now and the game is still utterly delightful and lovingly designed, I'm having such a good time with it

there's such care and specificity with how they've designed the game around being a first person experience, down to how being in first person makes you engage with the environment, exploration, etc.

there was an announcement of a new update for the Indiana Jones game and predictably a bunch of the comments were about wanting a third person mode; having played the game a bunch now, these calls for third person come across as even more nonsensical

it's properly October now and I'm firmly back living in my parents' place so that means tonight I'm watching BARBARIAN with my dad

sin that pays its way can travel freely, and without a passport; whereas Virtue, if a pauper, is stopped at all frontiers

The mainline Marvel reality is Earth-616 probably because Alan Moore had found another way to play a cosmic joke on poor Brian Braddock, who's absolutely had it with all these alternate Earths and Captains Britain

Can't sleep, instead wide awake thinking again about how Marvel are still draftin##g their multiverse off the "Earth-####" designation format, a joke about relative cosmic unimportance that Alan Moore and co made in an early '80s Marvel UK Captain Britain strip
