Screaming at how horizontally compressed that map seems to be, but I like it in concept at least

Today, I read Harvest, the game of creeping folk horror. Is this island a place you want to visit, or should you stay well away? Find out! idlecartulary.com/2025/10/09/i...

I Read Harvest

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…

It’s dubious since it seems like the guy just wanted to murder his wife, but her being a changeling is once of the stories I’ve heard around the murder of Bridget Cleary, although this source seems to not mention that specifically

I ran that a while back too. Ended up with both the original characters dying and the players taking over NPCs they met. Great time!

I want to like it so badly, and the fact I can’t understand what’s going on without the marginal notes kills me

Horacio, the Hermit, dwells in a shed that hangs from a cliffside. He doesn't give answers, but offers the path to your own visions.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, music literally does not get better than this.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a me, left alone while my wife is out of town, will get drunk and watch 1999 Sleater Kinney live concert videos too late into the night

there *should* be a random chance of encountering a muppet in your day-to-day. like, .1% of the population should be muppets, minimum

Day 1 as a motivational speaker: When I was a child, the only person who hated Mondays? Just one cat. And now, look around you. Everyone here today hates Mondays. Amazing, right? That cat changed the world. Changed all of us. Which begs the question: what's MY Monday?

Have you ever seen anything so adorable and so FURIOUS at the same time?

The OSR doesn’t have enough muppets despite McDowall’s best efforts, but by god I’m gonna fix it later this month

#AD there's only a couple of days left of the Scorched Basin campaign from HomieAndTheDude!

Think Mad Max meets Dune, but packed with new rules for vehicles and vehicle combat, a new magic and alchemy system, a bunch of new fleshed out factions, and tons more!

Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/...

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.

I’ll be putting out an adventure for it later this month for the Derelict Jam, but in the meantime, my older adventures Robot Death Ship or Worms in Space both work with it.

Still just lives on my blog, but if you’re looking for something new to try this Spooky Season, my WIP sci-fi horror OSR game is there for the taking.

Lucky Star is my take on fitting Mothership vibes to an ItO-based game.
