After an absurd amount of work, I’ve digitized the Jagged Missal—a massive LARP ritual tome on blood magic—and I’m beyond excited to share it! 📖🩸

Still working through my #dungeon25 #ttrpg idea - a long lost cult compound taken over by the mutoids they were experimenting on. it's been so much fun!

i've been using @pandiongames.com dungeon year design journal (which ruuules) and i've been switching up room design, lore, and NPCs.

#ttrpg map & npc/monster cards for a one-shot i wrote using Knave 2e.

a portal opened in Century 3 Mall and all hell is (literally) breaking loose. butter blobs, panda express sample demons, and an auntie anne's pretzel vamp.

might make this into a lil zine bc it was so much fun to play!

Right, not much to celebrate today but solely because of this site we had our best ever DriveThruRPG sales this weekend, which was v. unexpected

So to say thanks, we'll send 1 person who reposts this every copy of the mag in stock (issues 3-4) & 1 of each of our Johan Nohr & Łukasz Kowalczuk tees

i love this so much.

in a game i'm currently running the players LOVE wearing the heads of the things they just killed on top of their heads (hilarious, amazing). that would probably be horrific to see if they stumbled on you playing cards in your little dungeon hole with your goblin friends 😅
I have more than one "puzzle" in the dungeon I'm writing for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM that's just like: This person will not talk to you or let you in if you look like a blood-covered, weapon-carrying psychopath.

CAN THE PCs OVERCOME THESE INCREDIBLE CHALLENGES?

for #dungeon25 my mega dungeon is more like... a mega island cult compound.

The Children of the Fallen Sun worship the Solar Prophet. He is a mortal representation of the sun, which they believe is a fallen celestial being. They offer praise, worship and sacrifices with its rising/setting.

i feel pretty positive Mothman and i would get along minus the murdering and what not.

RIP to a true film legend.

His work gave me (a weirdo out of place teen) a thing to talk about with other weirdo out of place teens which then blossomed into friendships that helped us feel a little less weird and out of place in the world.

👀 We have proof prints for Midnight Muscadines!

These copies are to ensure our margins, layout and fonts and colors are working for the final product.

There are a few things to fix with the margins, but they look amazing otherwise!

have been running a game of this for months and it's a true delight!

very rules light. perfect for folks new to rpgs or non-dnd rpgs. cute, clever, fun, easy to work into other campaigns.

i'm running it with Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow rn and planning on The Incandescent Grottos next!
Reminder that for every copy of Perils & Princesses that someone purchases on itch, I add a free community copy. Just threw 8 new ones on there from purchases over the holidays.

the #ttrpg hill i will die on is that players should be able to buy what they want in game always even if they don't have the coin.

i hate the idea that they can't get something they want just bc they can't afford it so please trade a song for this sword! or fix the roof for a stay at the inn! 🤷🏻‍♀️

temple rooftop and dormitory floor isometric #ttrpg maps from Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow by @themerrymushmen.bsky.social

🥵 extremely cool world building and beautiful art. i can't wait to work pretty much anything from Ballads of Oræd into a game soon.

ooooh and i forgot to post my homebrew #ttrpg map that I made using the old Century 3 Mall in Pittsburgh as the footprint.

running a one-shot with this using Into the Odd in the next few weeks 🕺

I'm doing #dungeon25 this year using @pandiongames.com design journal. The end result will be a 300+ room island compound for a cult called The Children of the Fallen Sun. 😬

Here's a lil peak at my draft progress so far. Eventually i'll turn this into a digital map with adventure content.

i should be embarrassed by my top songs but SURPRISE I AM NOT. i'm in my second wave BroCore era unfortunately 🤷🏻‍♀️
