Working on Ahu’s First Patrol, a solo 5e-based adventure gamebook.
It’s the first step into Uoru, a setting of cat-folk, spirits, and winter storms.
I’m preparing a Kickstarter and looking for a few people interested in previewing/reviewing the early version.

I found a few (p)reviewers, which is great. A couple more would be better. All volunteers are given a free copy of Bugbear Awakening (in English or German) if interested.

Found this in my old stuff: the very first Lone Wolf book from the “Kai Series”! It was my introduction to gamebooks, and I still think it’s awesome. The storytelling, art, and sense of progression were way ahead of their time.

Nach 40 Jahren spiele ich wieder Das Schwarze Auge! #DSA war mein Einstieg in #pnpde, mit der allerersten Version. Jetzt fange ich wieder an und habe das Privileg @feytiane.bsky.social als Meisterin zu erleben.
Anbei die Inspiration für meinen Char, der Herr im Hintergrund (wohl ein Novadi-Krieger).

Neben aktuellen Aufträgen arbeite ich fleißig an der Weihnachtskarte für dieses Jahr. Viel Zeit bleibt nicht mehr. Das Motiv muss ja noch zur Druckerei. Aber ich bin zuversichtlich.
Wer mag, kann seine Kartenbestellung jetzt schon gerne bei mir abgeben.

My first attempt at an isometric map for a hombrew game. There’s temple ruins, cliffside drug dens, and giant bugs. What’s not to love??

That's a lot of dungeon to still explore...
In half an hour, our #dnd on #foundryvtt campaign continues. The first time I play a warlock, now she's level 3. Will I remember all her spells and abilities at the opportune time? Soon, very soon, we will find out. :D

Standing here at Essen SPIEL 2025 with the Warlock of Firetop Mountain flyer for the new Fighting Fantasy Quest Kickstarter, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia.
This little book was where it all began for so many of us — dice, choices, danger at every turn.

Was thinking for a long time how I roll out my #ttrpg setting Kaung Pi. Finally the decision is made, I will start with a Solo Adventure Gamebook using simplified #DnD rules. Of course it will have a #fantasymap. Here an experiment with framing a bw version.

Here is the equipment sheet for "Ahu's first patrol". Heavily influenced by the Lone Wolf #soloadventure gamebook Series, I adapted it to #dnd5e and tried to give it a south-east Asian flavor.

Working on my first Kaung Pi book, a solo adventure gamebook probably titled "Ahu's First Patrol". Based on simplified #dnd rules, but inspired by the Lone Wolf series, we of course need a character sheet - here page 1. Took me a few days to figure this out, WDYT?

Apparently in the optimization mode, I'm overall quite happy with the map of Kaung Pi. Latest changes are hard to detect. Playing around with placement and curving of the mountain range names, making the coastline more fiddly, adjusting rivers.
