Time to get in on this, only a short time to go! DURF is a fantastic game, and the expanded version looks like it's going to be AMAZING!
DURF Expanded just hit another stretch goal: the bestiary will get 50 more monsters! 🔥

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!
Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.
Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

A fair bit is going on in Treasured Possessions land since I released the game.
The first 3rd party module was released 🥳, I'm writing a couple of pamphlets and a longer module and we've also started a PBP game over on the Discord server.
Would you like to play spirits, inhabiting mortal bodies?

I've just released an update to the Mermaid vibe for The Lost Bay RPG. This version is tweaked for the REBORN rule set, and I think it concentrates the weirdness of the original. Check it out here: verdant-core.itch.io/mermaid #TheLostBay

One of the fun things about spending a year writing random wilderness encounters is that you forget some of the things you wrote. I just got this result and I had no recollection of writing it.
I do, however, have a vague memory of thinking about the figures on weather clocks last year... 🤷
