Oh hey, it's me, Jason (derogatory), of Von Skulltaker Industries.

Did you know I make things sometimes? It's news to me, as well!

Here's a few of them:

The cover of pamphlet SO, YOU WANT TO DELVE DUNGEONS, a dungeon crawling primer for kids and the curious, feating illustrations of a kid adventurer and the skull of a demilich

The cover image of YOU COME TO A DOOR, an introductory flowchart for opening dungeon doors

A blue background with a plane crashing from the sky, while small goblins parachute to safety, titled WINGCUTTERS, a one-shot RPG for 1 GM and 2-4 goblins, by Von Skulltaker Industries, and is HUMAN MADE

If I were to write a Shadowdark campaign setting, this would be the book’s cover.

This is amazing! So atmospheric! Such depth! Truly excellent, man.

@bradkerr.net and @jasoncordova.bsky.social, hey look, one of my favorite guys could be on one of my favorite podcasts.

Jason (derogatory) @vonskulltaker.itch.io · 1d

Thanks also to @gonzohistory.bsky.social for the inspiration (and the wonderful podcast, Monster Man), and @n8hps.bsky.social for the use of the Tunnel Goods SRD (and the fun and inspiring games you’ve created).

Wingcutters is free to download, but if you like it, donating any amount to The Trevor Project would be much appreciated.

Thank you also to @hodagrpg.bsky.social and @rossydoesdrawings.bsky.social for generously donating your gorgeous art.

Thanks so much to @axiomdelver.bsky.social for putting on the Cassette Tape Case Jam — it was a great time and a wonderful concept.

Alex @axiomdelver.bsky.social · 1d

Wingcutters (by @vonskulltaker.itch.io) is impressively polished for such a small format: it's got very clear instructions and a great presentation.
I love how it turns the “Gremlin on a Plane” trope into something chaotic and wholesome at the same time, I immediately took a liking to it.

Thank you to @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social for kickstarting the jam, and to all creative participants 🎉
I was genuinely surprised by the interest and positive response.
Here are some of my favorite entries:

A quick doodle armor monster thing

A suit of armor crawling on its back. A bloody, red skeleton (the original wearer of the armor) has burst from it's chest, wielding a greatsword.

You’ve managed to make gnomes feel threatening! So nicely done.

I haven’t gotten Brindlewood Bay to the table yet, but I adore Jason Cordova’s design and I’m eager to do so. Its system makes a lot of sense for Vaesen.

I also haven’t played The Between yet, which seems like a bridge between Vaesen and Brindlewood. This would be a fun thing to explore.

I’ve never played a gumshoe system game, but it really sounds like a system meant for investigation would be a better fit for me.

Jason (derogatory) @vonskulltaker.itch.io · 3d

This was something I experienced with Vaesen, too. Not my favorite system, but the art, setting, and build quality of the book are so lovely.
