One-page TTRPGs are simple rules-light games where everything you need to play the game is contained on one sheet of paper. They are great for parties and convincing your friends that they really will...

I use this palette; it’s so very helpful!
Don't get surprised (in a bad way) when your labor-of-love zine project arrives from the printer!
Get those CMYK-safe colors right from the beginning.

And if they hit the $3k mark, I get to contribute a mystery as well!
I'm happy to announce that... Mystery Snacks is funded!
This IS happening, and I'm excited to be working towards our first stretch goal, adding a new mystery written by @omnisx.bsky.social!
Many thanks, and let's keep rolling!

It's February, and that means it's nearly time for the French version of my solo journaling #TTRPG The Librarian's Apprentice, coming from Neoludis / Les Fondations de l’imaginaire!
This will be an A5 zine version of the game, with a fun little bookshelf for the character sheet.

Making more eyes/expressions for the modular puppet idea. The kiddo requested “squinty side-eye.” I think it worked out fairly well! The glasses took a few tries but I like the shiny googly eyes as lenses.

This morning’s idea was “modular hand puppet.” Pick a body color (a.k.a. a glove), a set of eyes, a set of hands, and stick it all together!
