One of my favorites ( @joeyroyale.bsky.social ) is having a sale on his FANTASTIC #TTRPG Weird Heroes of Public Access. Even if you don't plan on playing it, my goodness, it's a great read & fun throwback to a different, and some might say better, time. CHECK IT OUT! (www.etsy.com/listing/4317...)

WIP map of the #ttrpg adventure. We’re not sure which view works best, so here’s both: top-down and isometric 😄
The terrain is very organic, but the grid map makes it play like you would expect
If you haven’t already, check out the project. We are hoping to join #zinetopia, so every follow counts!

And that's just the start. There's actually a lot of technique and intentionality behind things like page numbers, running headers, etc.

I had a first-time player join late into my mid-level Shadowdark campaign this past week. Not only has he never played Shadowdark, but he has never played a TTRPG, so I started him with an immovable rod.

Is the immovable rod the perfect tool to teach players how to do OSR-style puzzle solving? I think so. Plus a list of 51 uses for it that I rattled off the top of my head.
