My original idea was a lot more complicated, but I like the idea of playing AS a Pikmin

Maybe run a Mausritter funnel where you control one of each type of Pikmin

Do you have a recommended place to start? Like, are there websites dedicated to hosting blogs, or do I need to learn how to make a website?
I know these magazines from the 1950s are super problematic, but I love this campy sub-genre of pulp art where the same guy is just getting his ass kicked by every animal
Caught a snake at the school playground today!

One of the recess monitors pinned it down with her boots, then we ran out of ideas until I remembered I had leather gloves in my pocket

Chucked the little guy into a nearby prairie grass lot
This makes me want to start a blog
NEW BLOG BANDWAGON
During this interregnum between High Halloween and Mighty Christmas, a call goes forth to all the world that bloggers shall band together to collectively create a hexcrawl across the blogosphere, themed around those hokey claymation Christmas specials of yore!

A new blog bandwagon where everyone writes a hex for a winter wonderland hexcrawl and posts it on their blog, linking to blogs that have adjacent hexes. This announcement has all the information you n...

Here’s an updated example page. Not confident it’s done yet, but I like it a lot more than the original

Sight Smell Taste Dice-less D666:
Something I need to add in the next update is how to handle environmental damage

My solution so far is making a “SET card” which acts exactly like a prop card, except it is too large to go into your inventory

Choose/Roll its starting damage score. It will bust when its score is >21
As you step out of the dark dungeon hallway, into the safety of a small room, the heavy wooden door shuts behind you with the distinctive clank of a lock. You quickly realize your dog is not by your side, but scratching at the packed earth under the door…from the wrong side

What do you do? #TTRPG
I’m designing #PropMasterRPG as an alternative experience to medieval fantasy modules—specifically #Mausritter, a game filled with improvised object used in unconventional ways

Cats gives credit to the game Grok?! for inspiring his blocking rules. (I’m lazy and haven’t read Grok?! yet so I can’t comment on how different it is)
That’s inspired directly by what @gandergaming.bsky.social does in Grok?! I really enjoyed the mechanic of characters sacrificing their gear to avoid consequences in that one.

It unfortunately didn’t come up in my playtesting so far to know how it works ported to this system, but I hope it’ll work
Shout out to @catshavenolord.itch.io for inspiring me to write #PropMasterRPG. I was jealous of how elegant the blocking mechanic was in his game Lucky Star. Lol
I need some “tablecloth” zine recs. Small books that are just random tables under the cover

Has anyone used the Brambly Hedge books as a source of maps for Mausritter?!
