As a past judge this series is a great look at Ennies bts, and I find myself nodding along with the criticism. The awards were created for a TTRPG industry that no longer exists, and since then they've been tripping downhill to keep pace.

Clayton @explorersdesign.bsky.social · 16h

Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

How are the Ennies designed?

An insider's look into the 2025 Ennie Awards. Part three. How does the structure of the Ennies determine its outcomes? And what does it mean for others?

A new update for Last Hope, our dark Magical Girls TTRPG is live!

We corrected some typos, added new things, and integrated some useful QOL with a table of content and page numbers (which were forgotten for some reason 😅)

A banner with a young woman seemingly falling down with a glitch effect on her. She has white hairs with red ribbons, and wears a white dress with long sleeves.

You can see a yellow band written New Update!

In the background, a blue and pale orange color, with a looming figure.

I was not involved in the creation of Starfinder 2e, and @paizo.com didn't have to send me a copy. They certainly didn't have to send me a deluxe edition.
It's a classy move, and I really appreciate it. And this is a gorgeous books, folks!

If you wanna see indie creators succeed, remember you can always write reviews, talk about your play experience, do shoutouts, plenty of stuff that helps so much since there's only so many places that offer us outreach, especially if we are outside of the D&D/OSR space

TromBone

Now you can doot your problems away in your #Pathfinder2E campaigns. We make new items for PF2E every week. Follow us to see them as they drop!

TromBone
ITEM 7
Uncommon, Magical
Price 265 gp
Usage held in 2 hand; Bulk 1

The macabre form of this functioning trombone is composed entirely of malformed bones that are fused together in disturbing and offputting ways. The bell is composed of a long since decomposed skull that seems to always be screaming. Despite its ghastly appearance, this piece is a fully functional musical instrument. This horn grants a +1 item bonus to Performance checks while playing music with it.

Activate-Doot Doot [2] (auditory, manipulate); Frequency Twice per day; Effect You play a short tune causing two illusory skeletal figures carrying similar instruments to emerge from the ground occupying your same space. The skeletons begin to dance around you and play an oddly upbeat melody for 1 minute. The skeletons move with you when you move.

Activate-Shivers Down Your Spine [R] (auditory); Requirements You have at least one illusory skeleton still dancing around you; Trigger A creature hits you with a melee Strike; Effect One of the skeletons jumps in front of the attack and shrieks loudly. The skeleton takes 15 points of the triggering Strike’s damage while you take the rest. The skeleton then crumbles into dust and disappears.
