Spent the last month mapping the blogosphere by its links. The graph is finally ready

Communities clump into a big hex and the whole thing looks like a star map

What are blogs anyway but stars in the sky?

I’ve recently received a small uptick in interest for my hex icons for RPG maps - if you want to make my day and can spare £3 please consider adding to that interest! Thanks!
Hello everyone - I've just launched my 78 icon hex map icon pack!

It's £3 and includes a commercial license.

Enjoy!

I have said before and will say again that it is such a loss that we no longer get covers of this caliber for fantasy books.

This art is by Jean-Léon Huens. These covers are for the Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. They lit my imagination on fire as a kid.

Every RPG blogger is allowed one “What is the OSR?” post. Here’s mine:
The OSR Onion
The OSR may be best understood as a layered approach to design centered around a specific way of writing, refereeing, and playing adventures.

In 2023, like many people, I participated in Dungeon 23. The end result was a massive, Metroidvania-inspired dungeon called The Castle Automatic.

Here are three techniques I am using to structure the information architecture:
