You all have heard of "Worldbuilder's disease", when you keep adding things to your world and never get to finish it

But what part triggers it for you?

For me? Cities. I keep adding shops, points of interest, and encounters until I collapse under the weight of my notes

Hey friendos!

Once again I am joining the Italian protests for Gaza, and as such I won't be around here for 48h.

Hope you can understand.

See you on Sunday!

Here's a PUGILIST character for you, #TTRPG folks!

As I said previously, I'm working on a new project and is coming out pretty nicely, so I'm very very excited about it!

It's gonna be very... Me. Very personal, so expect weird&wacky stuff!

It's #MÖRKTOBER!

I haven't done anything yet for it so you get a throwback to my 2023 Mörktober entry, the Basiliskant.

Not a chill guy, let me tell you.

So I suggest you give it a read, because behind that classic western RPG premise there are a ton of non-western cultural references you will find quite inspiring.

(Also, the author said she is a big fan of Pathfinder and Baldur's Gate video games, and even made custom portraits so she's dope)

While at first you may think Dungeon Meshi to be derivative from western TTRPGs like D&D, it is actually very much inspired by video games like Wizardry! and Legend of Grimrock.
This is why the kobolds in this manga are not lizard-like, and more of the canine sort!

Since I made this article I have been thinking of showing some inspiring works for your D&D/TTRPG stuff called "Bag of Inspirations", so let's start with the obvious:

BAG OF INSPIRATIONS #01:
DELICIOUS IN DUNGEON

Obviously, a manga incredibly influenced by western #TTRPGs... or is it?🔽

The store is called Sklep Fenix by the way! They speak english and they are very kind, so stop by if you find yourself in Szczecin!

Went to a trip in Szczecin Poland for a wedding.

I'm at a beautiful wargaming store.

Don't ask why I always end up in tabletop stuff stores, because I don't know either.

Hey folks, I'll go offline today, just like many other accounts, for the Italian 22 september strike in support of Gaza.
As such, I won't be online until tomorrow. 🇵🇸

See you then!🍉

My DMs, GMs, and world weavers, I made a new article about how to use inspirations for your TTRPG stuff, and getting inspired by things you like.

(I also talk briefly about FariRPGs' upcoming game "Chronicles of the Boundless", a good example on how to use your references!)

#TTRPGs

How to find and use your RPG inspirations

Let's find some references with this new article!
