the mechanical crux of coffinkeep is dread. it is very funny to scare your players by dropping another d6 into a pile whenever they make noise.

Finally managed to snag a Brazilian copy of Undying, after years of combing the internet for it. The game's local publisher went under during the pandemic, so there really wasn't any way of buying a copy through official channels.
PS: Undying is pretty great! All vampire fans should check it out.

Not surprised in the slightest by my Spotify Wrapped. I didn't leave my comfort zone for most of 2025, listening to lots of The Wonder Years, Ghost, The Front Bottoms, CBJR, Jão, Modest Mouse and Let's Eat Grandma.
Shootout to the Coteries of New York OST for sneaking into my top albums, lmao.

Lots of talk about the importance of open communication in this one, as well as ways to learn from possible missteps and ensure that your second campaign will be informed by them!

Mothership v. Death in Space in a nutshell. The former can be amazing at the hands of a GM who's confident and skilled enough to fill in the gaps in the rules, while the latter provides you all the tools you need to run it well.
Also yeah, a lot of games people call rules light I would call rules incomplete. Your game doesn't need fall damage rules most of the time, but I do expect stealth mechanics in games where sneaking around and hiding are important. Not including those rules makes the game "lighter" but at what cost

Turns out New Vegas isn't just a well-written game, it's also one hell of a framework for your TTRPG campaigns. All the pieces are already on the board, all you gotta do is reflavour them, and Dice Goblin made that easier than ever!

1/ There's a deep yearning for human interaction and emergent stories in online games, and ARC Raiders is proof of that. Solo players are grouping up, helping others against the AI and PvPers, hell, some are even roleplaying and creating their own fun.

On one hand, fleshing out Vampire: The Masquerade NPCs (well, SPCs) is so much fun, and probably my favourite part of prepping for a Chronicle. On the other, I inevitably get attached to a bunch of them, and Vampire is a game where you absolutely *need* to be willing to literally kill your darlings.

1/ Heresy time: I lowkey think every World of Darkness title works better as its own individual game, rather than a part of a wider setting.
If I'm running Vampire, I tend to simplify the other creatures, using them as monsters from horror movies. No Garou, just werewolves. No wraiths, just ghosts.

Procedures are great, and since Vampire: The Masquerade could use more of 'em, I went and made a couple.
Nocturnal Tasks are a quick way of generating and managing tasks and gigs that players (or SPCs!) can take on, and the Urban Pulse is a good ol' random event generator tailored for Vampire.

1/ I know I've complained about the OSR/NSR's inherent penchant for autophagy before, but I still believe great games can be made within the ol' dungeoncore constraints. Just because something has been done before, it doesn't mean it can't be improved upon. Take Errant, for one.

Not sure if I've ever shared this over here, but this is still one of the coolest character sheets I've ever made. The game it was meant for is kind of stalled, but I learned *a lot* while making it, the number one lesson being that maximalism is HARD.

1/ The Second Inquisition gets a lot of hate, but what really sold me on them as interesting, morally ambiguous antagonists was this page (hidden in the Nosferatu write up, of all places). The SI aren't good guys. They're self-righteous cops, with zero regard for the vulnerable and the weak.

I swear I make some of my best design work for stuff I have no intention of publishing.
I use a fan-made V5 Google Docs template for my prep, so I always feel compelled to make a cover, lmao. This is the one I made for my Bloodhunt-inspired Chronicle.
