I tried and failed to finish working on the surrounding gardens of Hoarblight Keep before doing the keep itself.
Im using it as an excuse to try going through @riseupcomus.bsky.social 's dungeon design course, and having a fun time. Having fun trying to capture the farietale castle feel.

Often TTRPGs are just an excuse to give your friends gifts.
One of my players Loves dragons 🐉, and I recently gave him the gift that his characters would always be able to speak to dragons in my games.
The smile on his face! What a great gift that cost me Nothing to give.

My current fixation is ideating on how to make my version of Hoarblight Keep for Dolmenwood.
I dissagree with making it a megadungeon, it would be big, but it would crucially be a Funhouse dungeon, but like, freaky frozen faerietale.

The Motherlocket might benmy new favorite minor magic item, not only did i got to ask my player what their PCs' moms look like, but it also gives the fun opportunities for them to phone home once a day.
Can't wait to see what nonsense follows from this.

I recently rewatched The Old Guard, and got possessed with the question of how to adapt it to a ttrpg.
Im thinking a phase based game that switches between action heavy missions, similar to Nights Black Agents, and more abstract timeskip segments, similar to Thousand Year Old Vampire.

The most decorated sniper of the Protean Wars - now a veteran in disgrace, stripped of the rank. And ready for vengeance.
Here is the second Rival to join the fray: Sirenatthva, the memonek tactician

From the dark depths of Hell to the shining heights of Axiom, the Time Witch is UNISOL’s most prized prisoner. Until it keeps aligning with her plans…
The team is close to complete, and has its fourth Rival: her majesty, THE ASSET

This really sounds like a helping hand for the GM’s imagination, something that is always welcome. It’s crazy how little things go a long way. Dolmenwood has been a buzzword for a while but I’m afraid I am out of the OSR loop: is it out yet?

An aspect of Dolmenwood that I've seen rather few people mention but which to me is rather innovative in the OSR space, is a little table in every monster description.
Under each statblock is a d4 four encounter table for the scenario in which the party encounters the monster.

Okay, here’s what I think Piranesi looks like as a 2010s indie game. Some perfunctory survival elements (fishing, crafting, using the tides table to predict the next tides), a very minimal UI, and you go around exploring this massive empty place with different biomes looking for clues etc.

@mattcolville.bsky.social Can you recommend any good books on music theory/making/history?
Im looking for a gift for my brother who's much further ahead of me in Knowing Bout Music.
From what youve talked about on streams, you might know some of the more obscure/interesting ones,
