Just a humble fella making ttrpgs and wondering why we can't just have horse-sized rats. Check out the wonders I have created - https://rat-in-a-suit.itch.io/ And find other ways to watch what I am doing - https://ratinasuit.carrd.co/
I’ve just posted a new blog post on my Tumblr about running chases in TTRPGs.

It was great fun and a solid introduction to what Delta Green is all about.
You can get the free Delta Green starter set here:

Over the past few weeks I’ve been running the introductory Delta Green scenario, “Last Things Last", for a few groups of friends.
I like when TTRPGs include intro scenarios like this, since they provide a ready-made introduction for the system.

A new edition of Good Society is set to grace the ton!
With revised rules and additional sumptuous art, this new edition will be useful, usable and scandalously good looking.
Check it out and help support this unique game of regency romance, scandal and drama!

Did more writing again today for my upcoming Delta Green campaign. I am really enjoying making physical handouts. There’s something about actually giving players an item that adds some real weight to whatever they’ve found.
Anyway, I thought I'd share another handout.

Thanks for playing. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully next time all your crew will survive the trek.
Human Trials Notes The effects of Candens Viridi on the human body are surprisingly consistent. A standard dose (equivalent to one mushroom) renders individuals unconscious for approximately six hours. During this unconscious state, subjects appear to have accelerated healing. Minor cuts inflicted during this period of unconsciousness heal rapidly. In addition, pre-existing conditions show measurable improvement post-treatment. Reports indicate recovery or significant remission across a wide range of ailments, including cancers, bacterial infections, and physical injuries. The currently identified optimal dose of Candens Viridi is approximately 10 grams, equivalent to the mass of one mushroom. Changes in dosage appear to affect the duration of unconsciousness; however, further experiments using significantly higher or lower dosages are yet to be conducted. Patients regularly report vivid dreams while under the influence of the mushroom. This is considered a normal side effect for this class of substance. Potential further studies Experiments to determine the effects of both higher and lower dosage ranges Perform follow-ups into the long-term effects of the treatment. Investigate the effect on individuals who undergo multiple treatments.
I’ve been working on some more handouts for my upcoming Delta Green campaign and thought I’d share one of them here.

I’ve recently been enjoying watching Small Prophets. It’s a quiet, chill comedy that makes for a calming watch. Just what you need if you want to switch off and unwind.

Yesterday I published a new version of Ice, Snow, and the Quest for Salvation.
This update fixes a number of errors and should now mean the project is now fully complete.

A haiku about my day
Outside it hath snowed
Errands needed to be done
I am cold and wet
I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail
Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can.
Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop.
Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵
