Hey all!

I'm Peter aka Jimmy Shelter, a TTRPG designer/writer from the Netherlands.

You might know me from my weird city solo journaling games A Visit to San Sibilia & Hiria: the Eternal City, or from my meddlesome kids game Pine Shallows.

Okay, this worked really well last time! I need someone from Brazil who knows about the RPG scene (specifically Vampire/White Wolf) in the early 2000s. Anybody here who could answer a couple quick questions?

The first rpg book I bought on the left, the latest one on the right.

What were the first and last roleplaying games you had?

A battered copy of the Dungeons & Dragons Rules Cyclopedia.

A fresh copy of the zine 'Milk Bar: Cut Your (Milk) Teeth Edition'

They’re certainly no trad or osr games!

Not sure what other subgenre I’d out them in, maybe someone else knows?

Grasping Nettles is cool! Still hope to get a local group to play it sometime

Peter Eijk @jimmyshelter.bsky.social · 17h

The collection is already bursting out of the closet I keep it in...

I do like the whole NSR/OSR corner, but I do have quite a bunch of more story games likes Yazeba's or Côme Martin's
Feathered Adventures.

I try to be more selective but it's hard!

Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

How are the Ennies designed?

An insider's look into the 2025 Ennie Awards. Part three. How does the structure of the Ennies determine its outcomes? And what does it mean for others?

Maybe YOU hear static. Are you sure you're not the cryptid?

Peter Eijk @jimmyshelter.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, you should really leverage your spend to increase synergy.

Of course be agile in your requirements while you downsize your core intent.

Created in a day for the RPG Jamboree: Vikings & Myths I'm proud to present a new Pine Shallows adventure.

Can you save the Viking Longship Museum while also giving viking ghost Bjorn Snaggletooth a proper viking funeral?

A very dirty version from a bad photo, but meet Bjorn Scraggletooth, viking ghost.

Hope to redo this properly on my home scanner.

A game I've been eagerly awaiting play reports from is In the Margins: my meta-solo journaling game.

The game is small: a bookmark. You play it with the journal of a previous game. You're annotating it in the margins, correcting, redacting or just being angry!

I backed this as quickly as I could.

It looks so good. Emiel is knocking it out of the ballpark with this one.
