Excellent spooky gnomes! Gnomes are omnivorous in the world of things under the bed

The gnome fortress of Gnorsh. They elect leaders with a voting system known as 'Gnomestones'

Turns out the bar was lower than I thought, but people still get mad when the gnomes duck.

Half a human, half a gnome, all halfling. Throws his rock. Rocky Bilboa.

I’m not sure if Rocky Bilboa is a hobbit, but he’s definitely a halfling.

We made it to the Crystal Island in @bradkerr.net ‘s The Singing Stones by Session 10. It’s abundantly clear that the adventure hinges on the magical axe’s role as the leader of an all-crystal barbershop quartet.

The players also loved the woolly cave pigs.

Listen if you share an unnuanced opinion, don’t be mad if I categorize it within the overarching framework.

incremental progress is hard let’s just play tower defense games from 2010 until this all blows over

My apologies to @bradkerr.net but Bitzinia from the adorable gnome couple in The Singing Stones was hit by a blood demon’s NAT20 and the crit table said her stomach ruptured and she failed to save and died in front of Belga and Michael the panther. Belga’s on an edgy vengeance arc now.

Previously on Gnomestones plays @bradkerr.net’s The Singing Stones, our heroes encounter Otto at The Pale Ship. This time on Gnomestones, our heroes blaze a trail, evade the wyvern, and drink mountain berry wine. Next time on Gnomestones, blood bags attack the camp.

that's basically all I need! I'm going to add in some turkish folklore too

I haven't heard of this one, but it looks promising!

That's a good idea, Dream Shrine is already at the top of my list

Ah my Valley of the Singing Stones game is about to grow past the original module arc into a regional homebrew campaign. Stress. Any brights ideas to put in the sandbox? We have rival sword orders and a city ruled by four and twenty guildmasters.

Yes I think interconnected mini games would have to be part of it, since there isn’t a sole method of sustainability, or even a singular goal.

It would also need to recognize the role of non-supportive and oppositional actors, like you say.

Still pondering how to gamify global sustainability

We got our first purchase on itch! Did not see that coming. It's a Quickstart guide so you're welcome to download for free, but if you name a price it will be used to support our kickstarter fund. Thank you!!!

A great one for the shelf, Dudinack's is a sleeper hit and hilarious and Yaksha's brings in a whole different perspective

Went to the game store to buy a puzzle for my wife’s birthday and saw that this was in stock. I had to buy it, right?

The image shows the cover of "Old-School Essentials: Adventure Anthology 2." It features an illustrated scene with a giant creature sitting on a throne, surrounded by various characters, including adventurers and a knight.

The Mythic Bastionland Jam has just started their voting period! We don’t know how long it goes, gnome votes are performed by tossing stones into rings after many days of gruff deliberations. This could be similar.

Things we added to Ranger Otto from @bradkerr.net's The Singing Stones
- call him Åtto (same pronunciation)
- soft spot for the wyvern
- Him and Pig Gristle go way back
- sleeps with one eye open, eats midnight sausage

The Singing Stones (probably). Definitely not a picture of Death Valley taken by National Geographic
