The two big projects that I will totally eventually finish are:

Brighter Worlds, my whimsical fantasty TTRPG with modular crunch: www.brighterworldsrpg.com

Meteor, my Cairn hack for playing MoSh modules: www.meteorrpg.com

Both are entirely playable in their current state, but both need polishing.

I wrote a defense for the garlic press, whose honor needs no defending. Also some thoughts on what I personally like in rpgs as I continue in this hobby. Everyone can have different fun. #ttrpg #osr

Wow I totally forgot about Cairn at the Ren Faire. It is still about 80% finished.

Totally going to finish Meteor one of these days as well...

This took longer to get up than I intended because I went down a rabbit hole of setting up a new website and jekyll blog rather than use my old blogger site.

I had the good pleasure of reading proof copies of some of these adventures and they're great! Full of great ideas for mousey adventures and fantastic art and graphic design to tie them all together. So happy these are finally released! ๐Ÿญ

The Fish Dice (by @dcponcho.bsky.social)!

If I can figure out a way to economically make a ton of fish dice I may try to sell a very very limited run of Chubby Bear Salmon Goggle next year at PAXU.

Meanwhile: more playtesting and probably some rules tweaks based on excellent suggestions by Amanda.
the best part was the d12 fish dice we had that his pal printed

The #paxu haul! Games from the fantastic Indie games night market, Tokyo games market, some great exhibitors (Saashi finally in the US!), and some flea market acquisitions. A successful pax!

We played a mysterious game that doesn't exist at #PAXU!

It was extremely fun! I would totally purchase it IF IT ACTUALLY EXISTED IN OUR UNIVERSE.
@cmyk.games What is this Eldritch object we found in the PAX unplugged library? A simple, super fun Reiner Knizia push-your-luck game. But I can find no evidence that it actually exists online. Did we stumble upon a board game cryptid?

Also the bear face!

And I forgot @dcponcho.bsky.social is on bluesky now!

A friend of mine printed fish dice for my little PnP board game: Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble!

They're so good! Look at these little guys!

This is hugely beside the point, but that "I Voted" sticker is so much cooler than the one I got.

Is this the first time a hack of a game is going to be released before the game itself? Maybe!

Very cool to see some of the ideas I've been working on spun into new purposes and directions. Plus passing creative commons torch from #Cairn to Brighter Worlds to Oz!

A game based on my own Brighter Worlds #TTRPG along with #Cairn is preparing to kickstart, about adventuring in Oz. Impressively the whole game will be public domain and free for reuse and hacking!

Coming soon: The Lost Chronicles of Oz
A fun and open-licensed tabletop roleplaying game, set in the land of Oz, based on the Brighter Worlds SRD and Cairn RPG.

Yeah, less "no algorithm" and more "you decide your algorithm(s)".

This is what came with mine. No idea where you'd get a hold of one though. If it's ever helpful, ping me and I can try and measure the exact dimensions of the ring.
