Following slugs and silver’s “30 years of gaming characters” and Throne of salt’s “all my other characters” examples, I’ve written a long post on my roleplaying history and the characters i played…

I threw together a one page rpg inspired by Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy for a one page rpg game jam over on itch: https://itch.io/jam/one-page-rpg-jam-2020
There’s still plenty of time to submit if anyone is interested! Seems like a cool exercise if nothing else.
Here’s a link to my entry: The Evening Redness in the West
Would love to hear any thoughts. Thanks!

Normally I leave my shameless self-promotion solely in the Weird & Wonderful Worlds Megathread but this time I’m promoting someone else’s work so I want to specifically call it out here as well.

I made a pre-RPG wargame about gladiator duels and mock naval battles in the Roman arena! I was thinking about how it was weird that there’s barely (if any) gameable material about gladiator fights because it seems like people like thinking about gladiators.
For one-on-one duels, each gladiator has 6 body parts that they use in battle and that they have to protect from fatal blows. These values are basically the attribute scores for the gladiator, and they can be used for contests against other gladiators by comparing scores (and adding a random factor if you prefer)!
It includes some useful charts about gladiators and ancient ships you could use outside of the mechanics of the game, and it would be pretty easy to extrapolate a proper RPG from the skeleton here! The game itself is called Bread & Circuses. I hope some of y’all find this interesting!

Just posted a short write up about Weird North, based on rolling up characters. Not a super in depth write up, but felt compelled to support a system that’s pretty cool.

I’ve started blogging about my Castle Xyntillan campaign, and the classic D&D rules kit-bash that I use to run it, over at vaguecountries.nl.

I have a blog of a few year’s vintage: https://worldbuildingandwoolgathering.blogspot.com.
To offer something timely, I just put a long-term project (Punth: A Primer) into something like a finished state. Here is the ‘capstone post’; here is the wider tag. No idea what you’ll make of it all, but I am braced for scrutiny.

This is extra shameless since it’s not even something I did per se, but the game I’ve been working on, Maximum Recursion Depth, received a shoutout on the blog DIY & Dragons :)!!!

Though I already placed this in my “corner” thought this would be an appropriate place. I released this pamphlet this week. It is traditional tri-fold with two inserts. Print 1-2 double sided short side Print 3-4 double sided long side Print 5-6 double sided long side. The inserts have guide lines for accurate cutting so they may rest inside pamphlet. Scenario: a random large tent appears overnight outside town. High price admission, becomes series of 8 randomly generated dimensional spheres within.
Appreciate any feedback, but otherwise I hope some folks enjoy it. After so much free and affordable content, this is my humble attempt to give back.

Continuing to create Art for Laketober (the alternative to |nktober I chose to challenge myself with) - and the start of a Tarot !

Have created a page on my site where art available for sale can be browsed. Understandably in such times as we currently live, asking for people to consider using their money on novice art work is a stretch, but so are the arts. Even to not purchase, perhaps a drop by to have a look, offer constructive criticism, read some of my play reports. Anyway, thanks, cheers, and be well!

Normally I don’t double-post in my personal thread and here, but I make an exception for interviews since I’m promoting someone else. In this case, @Spwack!

Hey there! I just put out a zine/album called The Shifting City
It’s a system agnostic setting guide/9-track dungeon synth album about a weird magical city that moves between dimensions and is ruled by thieves guilds and aristocrats.
Check it out on bandcamp for the album and pdf
Or Itch.io for just the pdf

I have a blog which is semi-active, and mostly dedicated to 1E AD&D - particularly monster and creature designs/stats in the style of the Monster Manual. Recent posts deal with different types of Jellies, and previously I’ve covered other subjects such as water/sea dragons, chitinous dragons, and edible monsters (i.e. things you might find in a dungeon which are an alternative to iron rations).
