I've started work on my revision for my Adventures in the Unknown #TTRPG. The first thing I did was to reorganize some of the sections of the game. For some reason I put the section on the game's mechanics in the middle of setting material and GM stuff, and I don't why but it has bugged me since.
Heya friends,
I've been a little more silent than I should but exciting news from the neurodivergent void, I am running a new game for this year's convention season.

Often I feel like problems exist when expectation are not met. Thus immersion can collide with clear expectations. It’s why I like conditions so much. Yes, you sneak across the room and listen at the door successfully but what you hear angers you, etc.
That’s why I use failing forward so often. Yes, you sneak by just fine but in the sneaking to fail to see the trap and take damage. Sometimes I’ll have the PC adjudicate how they failed. What went wrong?

Inquire within…
My current commission numbers? I guess?? I hate money, but am literally dying on the vine right now, haha. These are subject to change as I get back into the swing of things but for now if you are interested, these are probably the starting point, with wiggle room available for details. ♥
I absolutely ate up doing the homework for this one.
And as it turns out, I'm really digging the homework for this week's recording, too.
License to Kill is a new column from @newmadras.bsky.social diving into the whys and wherefores of licensed tabletop RPGs. In the first entry, he sets some ground rules and discusses Godzilla.

Patchwork Paladin has some excellent, concise advice for ways of spending excess Fear in Daggerheart.
ICYMI, last week's stream discussed developing an idea for an adventure from a campaign frame or just your worldbuilding. Most of the advice I give works for a variety of games and not just Daggerheart.

2-page spread for the micro-game "Black Future: Emancipation of Stars". On the left is a futuristic black man with grey and green dreadlocks in front of a starry background. On the right is the title and the intro text: "When Earth began to burn, black people and everyone else with the Mission in their hearts travelled in soulships, searching for the freedom that eluded them on Earth. The harrowing turn of years provided no comforts, but persistence did its work; eventually, they got free. Free to live and to love as desired, free to choose paths well or less travelled, free to exist without the weight of strife wrapped around the neck. They became the Free People, traveling and settling on new worlds, pushing further and further into the unknown and unexplored. That was long ago."
two page spread from intergalactic Teaz. art on the right is of two people standing next to each other in provocative poses in front of a futuristic space background.
two page spread of "Come Out From Your Grave". The art on the left is a spirit standing over a woman praying in front of a cross tombstone with candles on its base. The ghost is pointing as if giving directions.
Two page spread of Neighborhood Robots . A large two page piece of art in the background where a robot is being operated on and played with by young children in an urban environment.
Griot Anthology is a collection of seven small TTRPGs from black designers with illustrations from black artists. The games cover a wide range of topics and styles. It's a labor of love that we'd love y'all to check out:

Publishing a game involves playtesting, and if you're lucky, you wont be running those tests yourself.
To usher in the campaign preview for my game The Girls of the Genziana Hotel, I wrote a little bit about how player feedback helped shape the game I hope to crowdfund later this year:
