Do check out if you enjoy #shadowdark! I made 2 classes for it, an Exemplar (A divine gish warrior) and a Summoner (summoning planer entities to do your bidding)!

Hey, I'm Jay (@jaypea.bsky.social), and I run The Menu, a monthly TTRPG Design Challenge/Zine, where members of my discord community create things, inspired by three prompts.

I've just released Issue 5, and the prompts for Issue 6 are up on my discord server!

Ever wanted to be a tokusatsu hero in #Shadowdark? Wanna shout "KABUTO PUNCH!" as you break the face of a bandit harassing a commoner? Wanna leap into action and say "KABUTO KICK!" to a dragon snout?!?

This class is for you! Made for @the-menu-zine.bsky.social for this month!

@dareldom.bsky.social's submission to The Menu #4 was the Returned and Veilborn ancestries for #dnd #5e

These two ancestries let you play as two very different forms of undead, with some brilliantly flavorful traits

Check out these and more in the latest issue!
Two ancestries for Dungeons and Dragons 5e: The returned, a zombie inspired ancestry, and the Veilborn, a ghost inspired ancestry. In the center of the page is an undead warrior, wearing plate armor and a crown

In the grim darkness at the world's edge, there is only war!

If you want to play a #dnd #5e character inspired by #warhammer 's dreadnoughts, have a look at The Menu #4 's Inturned, designed, and with art by, @hornettecco.bsky.social
A description of, and mechanical traits for, the Inturned, an ancestry created by placing a corpse within a large, sanctified suit of armor An image of an inturned takes up the bottom half of the page. Sword in one hand, and rocket artillery making up the other, it leaps towards the viewer

Hey guys so I made a Dungeon one-shot for #Shadowdark! It's my first time properly making a dungeon, but I hope it's fun and enjoyable for everyone!

It's a simple 3rd to 4th level dungeon where you fight a Vampiric Necromancer Chupacabra, go there and slay some undead!

Do check it out! Not only did I do a dungeon, but other people have done amazing work as well! Such as @jaypea.bsky.social @itsbooda.bsky.social and @dareldom.bsky.social have all worked on the Menu, and do keep an eye out for what I cook up next 👀

Need a dungeon for your #TTRPG games this weekend?

#dnd #5e, #OSR, #Shadowdark?

At The Menu we've got you covered, with @axel6748.bsky.social's 'The Chaos Labyrinth', a #systemneutral dungeon that you can run in whatever system you want!
An introduction to The Chaos Labyrinth, explaining how to run it, and the lore of the dungeon itself A d66 table of rooms contained within the Labyrinth, naming them and giving a brief description of them all. A more detailed description of the first four rooms is also given below the table Further detailed descriptions of 7 more rooms, with an image of a circular labyrinth taking up the bottom half of the page. Three system neutral statblocks: a Blue Slime, a King Slime, and a Metal Slime. A large image of a blue slime with glowing eyes and mouth is in the lower right of the page

Want to play as Medusa in your #DnD #5e games?

#3 of The Menu has you covered with BrickmasterE's brilliant Gorgonid Ancestry, the full release also has three brand new feats to go with it, all completely free on our itch.io!
A description and mechanical text for the 'gorgonid' ancestry designed by BrickmasterE for D&D5.14e An image of a female gogonid is on the left of the page. She looks down, almost in disgust, at a statue raising a sword, but missing an arm and it's head, a hand on the statue's arm ready to tip it over. Snakes fall from her head like hair, all raised up at the ends and looking in different directions

I'm so proud of the work I have done for the August zine challenge! For those curios I made the Chaos Labyrinth a procedurally generated random dungeon with a minotaur Lord hunting down the party!

It's system neutral with B/X style language for #OSR needs and easy #Shadowdark conversion!

Incredibly disappointing to see this

If you get a survey, scream your heart out at them
iniquitousfish.bsky.social Meredith McClaren @iniquitousfish.bsky.social · Aug 15
I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI
