A bunch of projects launching for Kickstarter’s #ZineQuest this month are using Gen-AI. Even if the concept sounds appealing, please support designers with integrity first. If this sounds unreasonable, we shouldn’t be mutuals.

Do you feel #Daggerheart does not have as many monsters as you may like? Do you need guidance on running the ultimate Big Bad Evil in your campaign?

Be sure to get the Crypt of the Nekrolych VILLAIN FRAME

A skeleton in robes with a scepter floats on front of black and white stairs. The title Crypt of the Nekrolych appears at the top, and "Villain Frame" appears at the bottom. Below, it indicates it is Daggerheart compatible, and that it is made by TGR Games

Thank you for dinner. It's been a long time since I've trusted someone else to pick the restaurant. I really appreciate you paying too. It means a lot to me.

I should probably tell you I'm cursed.

We’ve been waiting to further explore the sign language learning elements found in Inspirisles, and with Dragon Dowsers we finally can!

During downtime, you’ll be able to nurture the hatchlings using sign language, as if communicating in baby sign or Makaton. Can’t wait to show you more! 🐉👋🏽

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

The meme of "my body is a machine that turns 'the passage of time' into 'not writing'." This is a joke about writing and how so much of writing is not writing— or at least, that's what I tell myself when I am avoiding writing, which is a big part of my actual job. I mean writing, not *not* writing. Bosses: do not look at this, especially if you are expecting something from me soon. Obviously, everything is going great. I am not procrastinating by making this meme. I am not deliberately wasting time in every possible way I can think of after already having made breakfast int he most laborious way possible, catching up on email and slack messages, engaging in some discord discourse, and checking every social media feed I have the misfortune to remain entangled with, and I fully intend on starting to write for real the moment I hit the button to send this tweet. Yes, I still call them tweets. It's an act of resistance at this point, calling them tweets. I remember there was some discussion of what to call them, and I have to say I did laugh about "skeets," since the act is comparable in some ways: it feels good in the moment, but results in something useless and gross just moments later... is this too much to get into here? I don't know if the wrongheadedly censorious people who run this platform even check descriptive alt text, come to think of it. Anyway, I should get back to writing, for real, which I will do now. That reminds me, did you catch the discourse the other day about dialogue choices in games? I don't have much to say, really, other than that creative works can be literally whatever you want them to be, so arguing about them isn't as productive as simply making the work you want to see in the world (and which I'll get back to doing in just a moment). If you want to see my approach to dialogue choices, why not play my visual novel, Eliza? If you've made it this far and haven't yet, I suggest you check it out. Okay, back to writing for real now. Definitely.

These were VERY fun to make and you can even dip these effects onto some low level bandits to add a little ✨️spice✨️ to an otherwise run-of-the-mill backalley shakedown!!

Wanna head into Baldurs' Gate Lower City?

@koathedm.bsky.social created a whole selection of poisons and drugs for you to buy and use in your #dnd games!

There are things ranging from extremely dangerous materials to the well-known truth serum from spy movies! Did I mention we included prices?
HUSK Uncommon, Contact, 100gp per dose Made from a combination of crushed deathsprigs and sapping salts refined into a thick, gritty liquid, Husk is a poison that drains the moisture out of the affected creature rapidly until it is nothing more than a dried husk. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed at a DC 12 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. While poisoned in this way, the creature takes 1d6 necrotic damage at the start of each of its turns. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. TRUTH SERUM Uncommon, Ingested, 75gp per dose Truth Serum is made from the blood of sprites and refined dayblooms, and creatures subjected to this poison must succeed at a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. While poisoned in this way, the creature can’t knowingly speak a lie, as if under the effect of a zone of truth spell.

I'm quite a fan of the unique madness mechanic I made here that puts the narrative weight of a broken sanity in the hands of the players!!

plus its got 4 brand new aberrations and an interconnected eldritch mystery with quick character hooks that keep the story flowing (even for a one-shot!)

Two characters relax on a wooden dock at night beside a calm, misty harbor. An muscular orc man sits on a large barrel, laughing and holding a foaming mug of ale. Beside him, a tiefling woman lounges on the dock with one leg stretched out, also laughing and raising her own mug. Warm lantern light glows around them, contrasting with the cool blues of the starry sky and the shadowed town and ships behind, where yellow-lit windows dot the clustered buildings. Both appear cheerful and slightly tipsy
