I've never seen anything like this oracle-making pamphlet (complimentary).

Alfred Valley @alfredvalley.bsky.social · 22h

Did you know I have a tool for making your own oracle, useful for solo ttrpgs? It's called Hill Marks, and it's disguised as a National Trust activity pamphlet. alfredvalley.itch.io/hill-marks

Let's make an oracle!

I like when I see that most of the "trending" tags are sports-related. I figure the world must not be ending in the next hour if more people are talking about "Falcons vs Bills."
