Hello, hello.
Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help.

Hey, if you see this, please keep our cat Gouto, in your thoughts. While it's not that bad, getting her to eat for her medications has been a small struggle, and due to her old age (14!), any little ailment of hers tends to worry me. @thedovetailor.bsky.social and I love her very much!

You can also partner with someone whose design strengths fill your gaps & vice versa, if you get a chance.

Then marry them, if it works out well that way for you.

Ross Cowman @rosscowman.bsky.social · 2d

Role Playing Design is a combo of prompt writing and system design and you don’t need to be good at both.

If your talents lean towards prompt writing you can use other designers game systems for bones.

And if you are more into systems, you can make designs where players prompt themselves.

#ttrpgpromptober sorry that there's maybe nothing funnier to me today than someone illicitly gaining the powers of ROT CLARIFICATION and PROPHECY LUNG and GOSSAMER AMPLIFICATION and CHITIN NULLIFICATION and

a document called "fine, here's the mages' rolodex" with a series of spells, like the ones named in the post, & a simple d10 roll determining whether you learn it or if it's used against you

I'm afraid that there's a good chance I'm gonna make a whole-ass game for each of these prompts. For day 2 of #ttrpgpromptober, I present to you: WORD WIZARDS

The setup for WORD WIZARDS, in which spelling be contestants accidentally cast an eldritch spell that summons a monster, and must use their newly awakened magic powers to defeat it

Add some randomness back into your adventuring life! It's Day 3 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel! #promptober #drawsteel #potions

Day #3: Potions
Brew Concoction Crafting Project

Item Prerequisite: Two different item prerequisites from treasure crafting projects
When you start this project, you toss the item prerequisites into a bubbling cauldron with a variety of other random ingredients, some magical, some mundane. The majority of the time spent crafting involves watching the cauldron to make sure it doesn’t boil over or burn, and occasionally stirring it.
When you complete this project, roll on the Unstable Brews table. You create 1d3 doses of a potion with the rolled effect. A creature can drink one dose as a o free maneuver.

Unstable Brews
d10 Effect
1 Take 1d6 poison damage and gain two surges.
2 Vertically slide yourself 5 squares, ignoring stability.
3 Remove all edges and banes on your next ability roll.
4 Push each adjacent creature 2 squares.
5 Gain a +3 bonus to stability until the start of your next turn.
6 Belch 1d10 fire damage in a 3 cube within 1.
7 +2 melee or +5 ranged distance bonus to your next ability.

Don the mask for Day 5 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel. Pulling from another of my favorite games this time! #promptober #drawsteel #masquerade

Draw Steel Promptober ‘25
Day #5: Masquerade
Upholding the Mystery Complication
Whether you were born into it, stumbled into it, or sought it out, you’ve found yourself in the midst of a secret world living just behind the facade of mundane society. Sworn to secrecy, membership in this masquerade provides many esoteric benefits — but if you ever let the secret slip, you’re through.
Benefit: Whenever you make a project roll in an area where your secret society is present, you can roll three dice and choose which two to use. You gain a bonus to Renown among other members of the secret society equal to your echelon.
Drawback: The secret society forbids you from allowing artisan or sage followers to work on your projects. If you do so anyway and are discovered, if you tell a non-member about the secret society, or if you expose its existence in any way, the secret society disavows you, putting a price on your head that obligates all other members to hunt you down. Other heroes can contribute to your projects without issue, but the same restriction applies to their followers as well.

For Day 5 of #ttrpgpromptober I'm stretching the theme... "masquerade" implies disguise/misdirection, so I dusted off and expanded a (HxH inspired) 2-player shonen dueling game idea. the escalating one-upsmanship is the masquerade part, to me

Day 2 of #ttrpgpromptober in Draw Steel: let's break the game! #promptober #drawsteel

Draw Steel Promptober ‘25
Day #2: SPELLS
Spell Sculptor Title
The wizard who studies magic can cast spells. The wizard who studies geometry can build manifolds.
Prerequisite (2nd Echelon): You defeat three or more non-minion enemies on a turn with one use of an Area ability.
Effect: Choose one of the following benefits:
Golden Ratio: Whenever you use an Area ability, you may spend 1 of your Heroic Resource to choose one additional target adjacent to the ability’s area.
No Straight Lines: Whenever you use a cube or line ability, you may spend 1 of your Heroic Resource to convert the distance to a wall instead. An X cube is converted to an X-squared wall, and an A x B line is converted to an A wall.
Zero Point: Whenever you use an aura or burst ability, you may spend 1 of your Heroic Resource to choose another creature in the area. The area originates from that creature instead of you.
