Sub-Hex Design: Seven Anchors of Wilderness Play
One of my eternal pitfalls is being waaaay too ambitious when planning things; always aiming for megadungeons and 50×50 hexcrawls. Let’s try and start a bit smaller. Castle Grief wrote a…

I am blessed with a remarkably active Discord where people often pop in with their questions about Block, Dodge, Parry. I love these questions, as they also make me think more about... well, my own game!

Given its shared roots in Cairn, I'm pretty sure that Block, Dodge, Parry is 99% compatible with #Mausritter 🤔

In the series of, "Damn, the default Windows wallpaper rotation has pretty good TTRPG inspiration", today I have this one. Now the question is; is this an example of a mountain hex, or a hill hex?

I recorded an actual play of DANGER CLOSE, my tactical military skirmish TTRPG! It gives a pretty good impression of how the game works, and I got carried away a bit in talking about it, because of course I did.

I recorded myself playing a session of DANGER CLOSE, and I think it turned into a pretty neat video! Channel verification is rounding up, so I'll post it here tomorrow (at least, tomorrow for me - it's bedtime now!)
