New Blogpost: I’d Rather Be a Mouse Than an Elf

Why sword & whiskers fantasy is more gameable than your standard pseudo-medieval fantasy settings.

I’d Rather Be a Mouse Than an Elf — Prismatic Wasteland
I love pretending to be an elf just as much as the next guy, but it pales in comparison to the joys of pretending to be a mouse with a sewing needle sword at my side.

The illustrated version of Black Currents is out!

In this small #ttrpg #zine, most of you are sailors of the black-streams that connect reality. You have a raft, a mission, and each other.

One of you is the Beast the others sail on. They have a body, a destination, and little patience. (1/3)
Black Currents by Sotiris
A short ttrpg about Beasts and people, unlikely alliances, and lost souls.

great review, especially the point about motivation to dig deeper. i ran (and liked!) this in an electric bastionland campaign; my players got to floor 3, poked their heads into the sea thing, said "why are we still here?" and just went home lol

put out a free archival release of most of my soundcloud music from 2011-13, from my PxTone work (the Cave Story synth) to stuff written circa-Anodyne 1, including a handful of piano songs, covers, etc. Meant to have this out in 2020..better late than never!

Barkeep on the Borderlands is in its 2nd printing! It is now perfect bound with a spine and has much more consistent colors in the interior.

To celebrate, the next ~50 orders of Barkeep or the Barkeep Bundle will also come with a random autographed “print proof” page
