The cover of the BREAK!! tabletop RPG. 4 Adventurers and a odd little cat companion look towards their next adventure with varying degrees of excitement.

Flat and well curved probabilities both have their place. In a vacuum they are entirely neutral.

The rounded curve of 2d6 works really well for so many concepts. I love it. When talking to @naldodrinan.bsky.social about Break!! recently he mentioned "I love how swingy the d20 is."

A fun thing about being my friend (at least I like to think it's fun) is if you offhandedly mention something you wish was in BREAK!! to me there is a good chance I'll have something for you by the end of the business day

I imagine this is true of a lot of game designers..

I'm working on some conversion guidelines between games right now and in the first part of it I have to go "So OK, here's the funny thing, games are different, you can't do this with numbers, so here's some ideas on how to kind of jury-rig it."

I sure hope these still end up useful 😅

A commission done for Yaddyhygram on Instagram! 

And what a commission this was, definitely one of the more ambitious ones I had to work with, but it was fun none the less! Now I really want to play more ttrpgs (says the person in too many ttrpgs)
14 characters are hanging out in a rustic Inn. In the foreground, stage right, are two Gerudo. The heavily silver armored male one with long, braided hair hair is playing the piano, while the female Gerudo in gold armor and one long red braid is lounging on top of the piano, watching him. Next to the piano is a red leafed Korok carrying two cups on a tray. In the foreground, stage left, a purple Twili woman drags away a brunette, fair skinned hylian woman, with a smug look on her face, and the hylian is blushing, somewhat nervous. In the middleground there is a red couch and sofa chair. In the sofa chair sits a dark green construct with one eye and a dark cloak, looking into a cup in confusion. A projection of a Zonai in leather mechanic's clothes behind the construct pinches the bridge of his nose in annoyance. On the couch sits a white, orange, and black koi fish zora woman in a red kimono. Next to her is a tanned shiekah woman with medium length white hair, pointing at a green book held by a deku scrub with gold and green leaves. Sitting on the arm of the couch is a twili imp, trying to fix a bronze revolver. In the Background behind the couch, next to a window, are two silver haired twili women. One is sitting on the floor, leaning up against the couch reading a book. The other is in a dark cloak, and leaning against the window, keeping lookout. From the ceiling there is a bearded white man in a black newsboy hat and suit with his hands out like a puppet master, with gold string coming from his fingers.

I wrote too much again, on a bit of a tangent, but i promise this is about "nonmagical rogues"
Text of a very long post (almost 700 characters over the bluesky character limit): "Not to get all Tolkien on you, but I think this is where my disconnect is w/ people who deride the notion of "magic systems" in fantasy (stipulating that I know there are very stupid and inelegant takes on that concept). Your whole fucking world has to be "magic" if any of it is. Layering "magic" onto a world that otherwise functions with our world's same physical and chemical causal mechanisms (whether the characters are aware of those physical laws or not) makes very little sense and is extremely boring. "Magic" isn't "spells & circles & incantations", it has to be "skill" or "craft" or "lore" or "will enacted upon a receptive aetheric medium", otherwise it's basically nonsense. If your world wasn't sung into creation or woven from threads of probability or ordered from chaos by the worldrunes or whatever, then it basically shouldn't have magic. And if it has magic anyway, you should be open to exploring how its presence is dramatically unraveling reality."

My mantra is that you should always make things for yourself first if you can - the world doesn't need any one specific bit of art, it needs all of ours, and moreover, you probably need it

It's the games that we make for ourselves that are the most interesting and most powerful, ime.

I’ve reached a point in the design process for The Lands Remaining where I realize the world doesn’t need another fantasy TTRPG, and I’m just making this for me. I’m not even sure it has legs in The Gauntlet, tbh.

Doesn’t matter! It’s gnawing away in my brain and I have to exorcise it.
