Thai | Of Metal And Magic @ofmetalandmagic.bsky.social · Oct 19

Hello! I'm Thai and I create #TTRPG things, from adventures & battle maps to GM guides & printable noticeboard posters (a lot of which are free!)

Here are some things I've made, including a butterfly wax seal you can use in your personal projects.

You can find more of me here: ofmetalandmagic.com

A red wax seal depicting a butterfly among clouds.

A black and white TTRPG battlemap featuring a staircase coming down from the top onto a balcony that wraps around both sides of a large chamber to the bottom where stairs join into a lower central pit. Columns and railings have broken and fallen down, though none touching the pile of gold in the middle. One column had smashed an ornate mirror onto the ground.

A noticeboard poster with handwritten text of a historian asking for adventurers to aid in a dungeon-delving expedition to clear the newly found throneroom of Aldrik the Vile. They are offering 400 gold up front and a portion of the treasures.

Hi everyone, can I ask you all a favour? please share this with your RPG creator friends.
Our car has failed the MOT, and to get it fixed is just not worth the money that needs spending on it. So, got to get a replacement as soon as possible.

How it started / How it's going.

Doing the final print on all the pieces for this fully mechanical moving encounter piece for this Clockwork Dragon from @wizkids.bsky.social! Build video for it will be out asap!

I'm holding up the Clockwork Dragon miniature from Wizkids. In the background, a CAD program is open on my monitor, displaying a single blue gear.

The more people that turn up and show Wizards that supporting trans people is popular, the better. Make it inescapably clear to them who their players are and what you care about.

When you go to print your #TTRPG remember that you need to charge at least about 6x the cost to print for sustainability.

Small to midsize publishers can take advantage of scale & you can't.

You are not Wizards, Evil Hat, Exalted Funeral, or Modiphius.

Ideally charge 10x an pay a bill.

It's Wild Market Wednesday!

Every few months I release a number of items to my local community of players that they can purchase between adventures with their hard earned gold. These items are available on the Wild Market, which you're welcome to use for your campaign!

#5e #ttrpg #dnd

An image depicting the Gown of the Infinite. This item requires attunemment, and its description reads as follows:

A black dress that reflects a pattern of stars from an unknown cosmos. Throughout the day, the gown’s pattern will shift as though reflective of an ever-changing starscape.
When attuned to, the gown will provide you with the following benefits:
▶ You gain advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks when under starlight or moonlight
▶ You gain darkvision when under starlight or moonlight. If you already have darkvision you can now see in darkness as though it were bright light
▶ You gain +1 to AC
▶ Once per day you may cast a visually altered version of the Darkness spell. The orb of darkness summoned by the gown into a location of your choosing glitters with starlight

Kyanite X tugtupite is the final match.

Blade versus blood.

Take your side and vote.

Tell people when you like their work.

No, they really don't know.

No, you can't assume others are telling them.

Yes, it means the world.

From bravewave.net/interviews/t...

Mo: Do you remember the first time you met someone who said they loved your work on Mega Man 2?

Tateishi: You’re the first, in 2013. No one else has.

Mo: Wow. I’m surprised. I don’t even have a follow-up question… how could no one come up and say something.

Tateishi: …

Mo: Now that you know how big Mega Man 2 is outside of Japan, do you look fondly back at the soundtrack?

Tateishi: Yeah, my thoughts have changed since I met you and became more aware of how people felt. But even when I was at Konami, I didn’t even bother telling anyone I did Mega Man 2. So the fact you came all the way to Japan to tell me these things makes me very happy I worked on the game all those years ago.
