I'm always fascinate by Pokemon world, where title is a catch all term for monsters, spirits, ghosts, and gods.

Somehow humanity has established ways to pet and train them to be companions. And eventually technology to catch them and "lobotomize" moves out of them.

Because of how "videogamey" it got designed, D&D 4E works well in PVPs. Played thru a lot of gladiatorial or arena battle scenarios both as player and GM when I played 4E before.

I'd reckon games that leaned to 4E stat design would also be good candidates.

Devlog: Teasing Dimawari and Killing Initiative Rolls a short description of Dimawari, my new game, and what initiative system I have inflicted on it

If you interested in my #RPGSEA tabletop adventure game, Dimawari, then here's a tease. I also talk about why I removed initiative rolls in it.

Originally wanted to release playtest in January but instead chose to blog and tease the details first.

I intend to post my #ttrpgwrapped for 2025, but I still have a couple of holiday games I wanna include in the count

Hopefully before New Year, but definitely after New Year.

I also have "the ex I still call" rpg in my bag this year. But I'm just using her to make others play indie games, I swear!

Thank you to everyone who've bought the bundle, every dollar is appreciated.

It is a bit short, so I will have to find other ways to get the remaining needed for the repairs.

Laptop fan noise is getting more frequent lately, and I should really have it checked soon.

"LARP as a 5E GM Influencer" HAHAHAHA that made more sense than it should

Bring out a Box of Doom, but it's just a bowl or cardboard box where you roll your reaction or wandering monster rolls. They never roll to it.

Help John Erwin repair his laptop by John Erwin A bundle by John Erwin, $11.00 for May Project Na Naman Si Kapitan?, Life of the Poultry, 24XX: A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy

Hey folks, my laptop needs fan replacements, but I am currently having financial struggles. Need my device for some freelance work, so any help to get them repaired is appreciated.

Catch us this November!

I'll be running my space-faring game, A Goon's Guide to the Galaxy, and having players do sand squid catching in a Desert Moon of Karth-based adventure!

For context of how bad my laptop is currently, see video with sounds.

It does this erratically, sometimes making this sound for 30 whole minutes until it "goes away". A restart/shutdown would not clear it.

I have cleaned them from dust. They are not overheating nor spinning too fast.

My laptop fan's egregious noise is worsening. Looks like I have to replace it again.

A Punk Lost in Time - Mythic Bastionland x Eco Mofos, Part 1 Playing Punks in Mythic Bastionland

Two games I've recently enjoyed are Mythic Bastionland and Eco Mofos. So I decided to combine the 2. For Part 1, I've put an Eco Mofos Punk in Mythic Bastionland.

Unintentionally made a Time Bandits vibe on this one.

Brewing a new blogpost about Mythic Bastionland and Eco Mofos.

A certain element of each game connects them together. And maybe that's enough reason to play both games... together?

This will be a two-parter.

We'll get back to Cooking Characters series after this, maybe.

This is what I call a Quantum Ogre Roll. The culture passes on.

Anyways I talked a lot about it, and other types of rolls, here.

Intrepid Heroes of JRPG: Cooking Characters in Fabula Ultima Creating Character in Fabula Ultima

New blog post! Latest character creation review I made is for TTJRPG Fabula Ultima by @roosterema.bsky.social. This is a long but enjoyable experience, going into the world and group creation process, as prescribed by the game start.

You can probably map it out using chances of success.

In BLB, your roll 2d6 vs 9 (no modifier) which is 27.78% chance of success.

So in ITO stat, that's probably... between 5 or 6.

You can follow that logic in other bonuses.

Post-Apocalypse Survival in a Nuked Soviet Metro: Cooking Characters in RAD Creating a Character in RAD

I've been blogging about my reviews of character creations from different ttrpgs. Here is the 3rd installation. Might post the earlier ones.

I've picked up RAD and made a post-nuclear sovietica adventurer. Some cooking is needed for this one.
