A confluence of influences; costume, props, photos, larp, writing, games, and anything else that keeps me busy.
bashing a little something together for my game jam at the last minute. Splicing together a gundam model kit instruction manual and CM4-EARTHSHAKER

New pfp, and a new nom-de-plume. There are just too many trans women called juniper out there to be publishing under the one name.

Also this guy. Hes very important.

Weird answer but this is very much what im planning to do with DQ&D. Still in early dev stages though. All character progression is linguistically ressonant treasure based, all items found in key areas, and the world itself is being designed as an interconnected thing.

gorgeous gorgeous girls love to get their damn train cancelled. At least my jacket is fun.

Heres a lil internal page teaser to whet your appetites :)

ITS DONE. COMPLETE. A full fucking player facing playtest rulebook ready to go! All formated nice with all the rules and everything. Pierre Menards First Edition realised at last.

Finally I can start the real OSR: writing a cool as hell adventure module for it.

Nobody tell the EmpireLRP folks that i've snuck traitors fate into the TTRPG im working on...

(legit tho im really excited with how the final playtest edition classes are coming together!)

Huge DQ&D news: I've gotten far enough along that I was able to run character creation with a couple of pals tonight! Couple of monsters and some session prep and damn I can actually run a session of this thing! Wild to think it started as a joke blog post a couple of weeks ago ha ha

THE RITE IS COMPLETE

Shout out to Onslaught Six over at @tidalwavegames.com for this sick fucking print out. I am now cogitating printing loads of these off in different colours on nice card and leaving them around like rare shiny pokemon.

Printed off a copy of The Keep on the Borderlands, and am leaving it up to the Baying Hogs to see what is to be done with it
December 22, 2025 at 8:38 PM
Ahhhh go on then. I have free will and printer ink.

In addition to todays blog post I also decided to give the site a new lick of paint. I almost certainly shouldnt have done this live, and i deffo shouldnt have done this while there might actually be traffic there, but hey, it looks kinda cool now! Shout out to my wife for the background photo.

fucked up that you can just whole cloth screenshot this text from the rulebook of the exact mech I spend some of this blog post talking about and i didnt remember until i finished writing it lol

Todays DQ&D work went into a lot of reading to work out exactly how wetlands work so I could work out 12 of them. I think in the long run i want d12 swamps, d12 marshes, and d12 peatlands. In each catagory 3 nasty, 3 whimsy, and 6 mundane. Get that sweet sweet d66 table going.

Coming up with bastard men

Enjoyed this vibe enough that I decided to treat myself to a little collage as a treat. Moodboards are an important part of production right? This counts as making progress. Honest.

Love to make a game where your three classes are entirely randomly selected and the only way you can exert any control over the process is deciding if you want to transition or not when you roll a girl one.

Basic Rules: Written

Now the real work can begin (writing one of three fragmentary blog posts about it)*

* It will be way more than 3 at this point lol

Playing in a space. Trying to work out if there is a better set of words for DQ&D than "Don Quixote & Dragons" which while funny for a blog post has 0 relevence for the game now as its developed.

The hog is placeholder by the way, though he is a beautiful creature and will see use elsewhere.

As DQ&D shapes up more to be a game about communication, truth, and the written/spoken word it makes sense to add language rules right? Im trying to work out if im cooking here, or if every language having a particular thing it cant do is going to melt players brains a bit tooooo much

as a little birthday treat i've let myself write some Lore (tm) which for all my critiques of it as a method for storytelling is a very tasty sometimes food.

Its so nice just saying shit like "The time of Monsters Begins" or "The Necrochanter attempts to sing the Truth of Death".

I think sometimes its important to draw a dragon the way your 9 year old self would have appreciated. Look at her. Shes dreadful. What a splendid beast.
