I been publishing content through a monthly zine with @the-menu-zine.bsky.social My main content has been OSR and Shadowdark, honestly before the Menu I was WAYYYY to shy to post any of my work online, and honestly? I feel a bit more confident now then before that I am even working on a future blog!

The Menu #5 included a new Monk subclass for #DnD #5e by @echocereal.bsky.social

Those who follow the Way of the Hidden Scourge strike their foes from the shadows, lurking in the dark until the right moment appears

The Menu #5 included a new, infernal, Wizard subclass for #dnd #5e!

The Infernal Scholar gives you an Imp companion, lets you fight foes with fire, and cast spells on the cheap!

Hey, I'm Jay (@jaypea.bsky.social), and I run The Menu, a monthly TTRPG Design Challenge/Zine, where members of my discord community create things, inspired by three prompts.

I've just released Issue 5, and the prompts for Issue 6 are up on my discord server!

Ever wanted to be a tokusatsu hero in #Shadowdark? Wanna shout "KABUTO PUNCH!" as you break the face of a bandit harassing a commoner? Wanna leap into action and say "KABUTO KICK!" to a dragon snout?!?

This class is for you! Made for @the-menu-zine.bsky.social for this month!

@dareldom.bsky.social's submission to The Menu #4 was the Returned and Veilborn ancestries for #dnd #5e

These two ancestries let you play as two very different forms of undead, with some brilliantly flavorful traits

Check out these and more in the latest issue!

In the grim darkness at the world's edge, there is only war!

If you want to play a #dnd #5e character inspired by #warhammer 's dreadnoughts, have a look at The Menu #4 's Inturned, designed, and with art by, @hornettecco.bsky.social

Hey guys so I made a Dungeon one-shot for #Shadowdark! It's my first time properly making a dungeon, but I hope it's fun and enjoyable for everyone!

It's a simple 3rd to 4th level dungeon where you fight a Vampiric Necromancer Chupacabra, go there and slay some undead!

I'm so proud of the work I have done for the August zine challenge! For those curios I made the Chaos Labyrinth a procedurally generated random dungeon with a minotaur Lord hunting down the party!

It's system neutral with B/X style language for #OSR needs and easy #Shadowdark conversion!

At a whopping 41 pages, and featuring system neutral content, and content for #DnD, #Daggerheart, and #MorkBorg, the next issue of our #TTRPG zine The Menu #3 is now out!!

Incredibly disappointing to see this

If you get a survey, scream your heart out at them
I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI
