Fuck, how did I not cover this on stream? I am seeing so many projects that aren't part of the hashtags and algorithms and it's making me pretty mad.
I am crowdfunding a print run of my zine if you want to experience the looming rot of the gothic with your friends around the table then this is probably the best time to pick it up. And if you are interested I'm diving into the process of making it www.kickstarter.com/projects/von...

Pretty good stream. You can check out the VOD to see my cat jump in my arms and knock me on my ass. Here's a list of every project we covered today:

Hey Look, Random Encounters!
There was a fairly interesting nested encounter table in the 1973 OD&D draft. I think I interpreted it wrong but I got stuck in it. Then I did some quick revisions, moved some shit around, etc. Use it or don't! Free!

Juniper is an absolute joy of a person to watch work, and what started as a funny bit in a private discord has evolved into a beautiful labour of love that I'm immensely excited to watch grow. This article (and everything else she writes) is a brilliant example of what it means to Just Make Shit.
Dredge Quick and Drown is a project written as a joke attempt at recreating the OSR from first principles. It has unsprisingly failed to do that but I'm very happy with whats come out of it. Enjoy Design Diary #1: covering stats, checks, skills. and equipment.
