This holiday was absolutely lousy with great gifts!
Between presents, Kickstarter fulfillments, sales, and some fun store finds I am VERY set for stuff to read/watch.

From what star did you fall?
1
You fell from the Clasp of the Hunter’s Belt. It is said his belt could always
hold another tool, no matter how much it had been burdened.
You can
carry up to 6 items without a bag or backpack and up to 12 items total.
2
As a babe, you were thrown from The Maiden’s Heart. It is said her alluring
demeanor captivated an entire nation of suitors.
When you meet someone
new, there is a 1-in-20 chance they fall in love with you. Every day you
spend in their presence, there is a 1-in-20 chance their love is lost.
3
You were born of The Raven’s Beak. It is said he could taste gold on the
wind and travel the sun’s length in an instant to obtain it.
Whenever you
find gold, you always find an extra piece. Take 3d6 gold pieces now.
4
You tumbled from the First Guide’s Torch. It is said she guided the
newborn gods on their path through the endless dark.
When you carry a
torch, its light burns twice as bright, illuminating 80ft of dungeon.
5
The Great Star cast you out. It is said its heart knew only loneliness until it
finally erupted in pain, covering the sky in stars.
Your blood is explosive.
When you take two or more points of attribute loss at one time, your
blood explodes, dealing d4 damage to all within arm’s reach.
6
You have faint memories of The Serpent’s Eye. It is said he could see the
truth at the heart of every mortal soul.
When someone is misleading you,
you see their eyes glow red and a gentle hiss echoes across your mind.

A daring escape past y^2=x^3+x+3 over F14641

I was sent a lovely little paper last June about visualizing elliptic curves over finite fields and you just know I had to draw about it. Anyway now it’s space and piracy is involved!

Illustration on blue paper of a scene in space. There are two space ships in the center, one in pursuit of the other among stars and grasping clouds and toroidal shapes covered in a silvery iridescent lattice. Hatch shaded with white, silver and holographic paint.

Made this collage as an illustration/center board for the Porcelain Citadel in my Ultraviolet Grasslands game.

A collaged black and white image of a Cappadocian town in Turkey with a rocky plateau above it on which is a giant native Mexican head (Toltec? Olmec?) on top with a hazy halo around it.

The design principle behind Jotun isn't to reinvent the mecha ttrpg wheel. Instead, I'm setting out to make a really solid wheel; something for mecha fans who want their robots fast, deadly, and more than a little ludicrous. #mecha #ttrpg #morkborg #digitalart #gundam #armoredcore #osr #robot

Hey! At the time I shared it there was some demand for it, so I made a print of this piece, available for a limited time (mid january for now)!

Get it this holiday season! 🎁

Diogo Nogueira - Lead Game Designer - White Wolf

@diogooldskull.bsky.social

So this happened…

I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer!

I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing!

#TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

Fake it until you make it as they say. And I’ve been playing the role of a TTRPG game designer for about 12 years! Now the mask has become my very nature.

I am going to play the Masquerade game with vampires, for real. After years of working as an independent game designer, like a good Anarch, I joined the Camarilla. I am now the Lead Game Designer at White Wolf, the legendary publisher that made me realize TTRPGs could be about a lot more than killing monsters. I can be one of them, and surprisingly be even more human!

The first book I ever read in English was Vampire: The Dark Ages, and now I get to work as a game designer full time for the first time with the World of Darkness? I couldn’t be happier! To live and breathe the universe of Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, Hunter, Changeling, Wraith, and all other games every day, and be able to collaborate in shaping its future is a dream come true. These games were formative in my TTRPG industry, in the Brazilian TTRPG community, and are incredibly relevant to this day. Especially these days I would say.

And with me I am bringing my game design philosophy of “playing more with less” to help make the game more accessible while honoring the more than 30 years of World of Darkness! I just want everyone to enjoy the game as much as they can, with as little effort as they can afford.

Oh, and I am still an Anarch at heart, don’t worry!
