There is such a treasure trove of untapped stories, monsters, and legends in Indian Culture, which can provide fresh and unique content for your campaigns. Devabhumi is a high fantasy...

This is for an upcoming session this Saturday. I’ve never been the kind of person that’s into drawing, but I’m GMing my own PTU campaign, and I hated making maps online lol...
After spending a lot of time with my homebrew system, I have a newfound respect for the “with a twist” trend in current TTRPG. Like you can really blow the doors off a setting or subsystem if the frame is sturdy and/or familiar. If things are too alien everything is hard to learn and it’s hard to get to the good stuff....

I wanted to run a horror game in October, so I’m trying an experiment to see if I bend my action narrative resolution mechanic to run a very different genre. The real simple version of the system is it’s a skill check system where you roll once to represent an entire encounter, and then players take the lead on narrating the...
Have you gotten with Astarion or maybe you were blown up by Gale for the hundredth time? Are your adventures as wild as you had hoped…have you even gotten out of character creation!? Well if you’re one of the legendary few who have, why don’t you take a step into the real world of D&D so you can go back into an imaginary...

Wrote a new blog today about how much setting should go in a rulebook. It’s different for every game, but I feel a lot of games put too much lore in with the rules....
Over on Mastodon we are enjoying ourselves with this #RPGaDay2023 thing. Have spawned a few interesting conversations. So why don’t take it over here here as well? And let’s do the whole first week (Day 1-6) at once....
I play with a group where we love to help out the DM with adventures; this is a batch of dragonoids I’m printing for our combats in a 5e Dragonlance campaign....

Today’s blogpost is all about my flailing to refine and streamline my design docs into a coherent rulebook. I read enough of the d**** things you’d think I would know how to compile and order one. I understand the basics and where I went wrong, and have roadmap, but compared to design development is long and grindy....

Anyone else get in on this KS? I’m looking forward to digging into the PDF and figuring this game out.
