Oooh yeah. Makin a cheese dungeon.

Ryan Lynch @outridercreative.bsky.social · 10h

Thanks! I love a vertical dungeon for so many reasons. Getting deeper and weirder. Holes in the floor and ceilings. (Also they fit on a page really nicely)

Cheese dungeon is starting to take shape. Usually I try and ground my location designs in real spaces but cheese dungeon begs to be gonzo, so going through every single room and trying to make it more weird. Is definitely a fun challenge.

Gotta brace for impact for SURE

Getting used to working on an iPad /procreate was such a game changer for me. Just the freedom of working on my stuff wherever I was while watching the kids made so much possible.

Yeah that makes so much sense! Perfect pairing. Valley of flowers seems like such a killer setting. I even had fun just reading through it.

It’s a little condensed overall but when it’s all assembled it’s a pretty cool hex map board. It’s kind of unique. It’s like 6 puzzle pieces that fit together instead of a typical fold out

Jealous! That sounds like a killer duo, wow.

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?

This interview with @jdragsky.bsky.social is so killer and inspiring. Something I say a lot when talking about TTRPGS is that the book IS the game and therefore the art IS the game. But Jay takes it to another level.

"A thing that I'm really thinking about is the holistic quality of the game. This is a game that, even if you don't ever actually get a group together to play it, it enriches your life and it provides you with meaning and you can sit down with it and engage with it."

Oops I meant 85

This 1982 “Riddle of the Ring” board game looks really vibey and the rules seem fun. Going to have to give it a try soon.

My goal is to finish it's creation by the end of the month. We shall see how it goes!

Ryan Lynch @outridercreative.bsky.social · 2d

Gonna try to finish it by the end of the month. The main challenge will be completing all my non-cheese dungeon related tasks as well.

Ryan Lynch @outridercreative.bsky.social · 2d

I have important work to get done but all I can think about is Cheese Dungeon.

That’s fair. I just like to bully everyone I know into drawing.

The cool air and light rain this morning is really not making the case for waking up any better.

Ryan Lynch @outridercreative.bsky.social · 3d

Cool thing about drawing is anyone can learn to draw! Just look on you tube, grab some library books and a couple pencils and go for it.

Cannot recommend this game highly enough. Had another banger session last night with it playtesting the adventure I’m working on.

And it’s not just the killer princess theme, Ryan is doing really good stuff with the mechanics here that more OSR folks should be checking out.

Ryan Lynch @outridercreative.bsky.social · 3d

I've distributed over 600 community copies of Perils & Princesses and I just put up a bunch more, in case you've been meaning to check out this game, but haven't had the means: outrider-creative.itch.io/perils-and-p...

Does slurping neon yellow chicken-flavored noodle soup restore 1d6 HP? Probably.
