Chivalry was truly dead already in the 80s! As was Sorcery, apparently. ;-)

A curious find. I like it.
If I were to poll people in my local ttrpg association/club today, I am pretty sure D&D 5e would be ranked similarly. People with a wider awareness of the hobby still tend to prefer other games over D&D, no?

These delightful fellas didn't make the cut to play the Giant Robot part in picture. Do you think I made the right "casting" choice?

I've been experimenting with meshing together various Public Domain images as banners for my Daggerheart games.

The goat looks more scared than adventurous though...

International GM's Day is a thing. Apparently.
Allow me to use this opportunity to celebrate the rare moments when I actually remember to take pictures of the games I am running. :-D
The games depicted here:
* The Electric State
* Discworld RPG
* Goblin Quest

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

a one page spread called ENTER THE DUNGEON
It has a retro blue and off white color scheme, the different sections of the spread are divided by little dungeon corridors, in the style of old d&d map paper.

Some Dungeon procedures for a theater of the mind point crawl for #daggerheart .

The other day @thisisvictor.bsky.social had a great idea of using wandering monsters as the tension mechanism (in lieu of a more traditional "dungeon turn"). So stole that idea outright and made this!

However, since I have de-googled my phone and migrated to @murena-com.bsky.social , the number of problems with nexcloud mobile sync went down to zero. Zero!

Obviously, the tech could work surprisingly well. All you have to do is to remove Big Tech from the equation.

Idea for a modern Dorian Gray:
Instead of a portrait aging, the protagonist owns a neurolinked robot that takes on all the "unproductive" impulses he has. So the robot is watching Netflix, or swiping social media, while the owner focuses all their energy on producing things.
Nothing could go wrong!

The meme lists overlapping historical timelines: 'Consider: Victorian England: 1837-1901, American Old West: 1803-1912, Meiji Restoration: 1868-1912, French privateering in the Gulf of Mexico: ended circa 1830. Conclusion: an adventuring party consisting of a Victorian gentleman thief, an Old West gunslinger, a disgraced former samurai, and an elderly French pirate is actually 100% historically plausible.'

Who would be in your dream historically plausible adventuring party?

Here's the latest piece I did for @ericlazure.bsky.social 's Hope Springs Eternal.

From The Ever Rime, an Orc Seraph wielding their gauntlets as their spirit weapon, hums with thermal magic.

Go back their project! These are the last days of their campaign!
