I recently published an adventure for Cairn 2e, and I'd like to talk about the development process a bit, it folks will indulge me.

I haven't finalized the world yet, but I don't think so. The Silksong inspiration will be only up to a certain point, and the map I'm creating now (with Cairn 2e's Warden's Guide) has already inspired me with ideas for hooks and possible dungeons.

I got the 20th anniversary cover for the 4e Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game (it was only $18). Great game and great contribution to the OSR and RPGs in general. #BFRPG #DnD #OSR #ttrpg

A few months or so back, I got intrigued by the FKR movement.

I liked the combination of rules lite, high trust, and most of all engagement with the game world.

So I decided to write my own FKR game.

It's called 2D6REACT because it uses the B/X reaction table as its resolution system.

It’s been available for years but I don’t think enough people give this edition credit as a very accessible version of the game. If you print on lulu you have great inexpensive copies for your table or to give away to get people excited. Don’t sell them, that would be a —— move.

Another fun session of my online Icespire Peak campaign yesterday!
Not much progress was made, but there was a lot of chaos, and the dice seemed to be cursed for everyone, but that led to really fun moments.
I wish I could run/play in more games.

Today we received shots from the printer of copies of Down Among the Dead, the new #PirateBorg expansion. I didn't mean for this book to take an extra year, but it was worth every minute.

And yes, that is a 5 color PANTONE print with embossing, spot gloss, and glow-in-the-dark ink!!!

I've been eyeing Pirate Borg for a while and even almost backed Down Among the Dead, but now that I finally have it in my hands I gotta say it's even better than I thought!
It makes me want to run it as soon as possible (and hopefully that will happen soon).
Kudos, @limithron.bsky.social, great job.
