Working on Ahu’s First Patrol, a solo 5e-based adventure gamebook.
It’s the first step into Uoru, a setting of cat-folk, spirits, and winter storms.
I’m preparing a Kickstarter and looking for a few people interested in previewing/reviewing the early version.

Recently, I had the pleasure to try out the #vaesen #ttrpg in a one-shot led. The game is based on the Year Zero Engine like e.g., Coriolis, and was easy to grasp. The handouts are beautiful. We had such a blast that... it will become a two-shot. 😄 I'm looking forward to playing priest Otto again.

Ich bemühe mich, meiner Zeit voraus zu sein. Das Erwachen der Grottenschrate ist jetzt kompatibel mit den neuen Vergessene Reiche-Quellenbänden: Helden von Faerûn und Abenteuer in Faerûn bevor sie in deutsch erschienen sind! Sensationell, oder? 😀

Mein Wiedereinstieg in #dsa: Charaktererschaffung in 4.1. Nach der dankenswerten Einführung durch @feytiane.bsky.social dann mein Versuch, den Char im Bild zu machen. Novadi/Stammeskrieger/Veteran schien logisch. Alles auszurechnen wurde kompliziert, deswegen ein Google Sheet gemacht. 😄

Ahu's First Patrol, my #dnd 5e-based adventure #gamebook is progressing. Preview was reviewed by 3 kind people and I will do a few adjustments. First art is coming together (3 beautiful sketches made by @mhinventory.bsky.social ) and 100 of 350 sections are written.
More reviewers still welcome!

I found a few (p)reviewers, which is great. A couple more would be better. All volunteers are given a free copy of Bugbear Awakening (in English or German) if interested.

Found this in my old stuff: the very first Lone Wolf book from the “Kai Series”! It was my introduction to gamebooks, and I still think it’s awesome. The storytelling, art, and sense of progression were way ahead of their time.

Nach 40 Jahren spiele ich wieder Das Schwarze Auge! #DSA war mein Einstieg in #pnpde, mit der allerersten Version. Jetzt fange ich wieder an und habe das Privileg @feytiane.bsky.social als Meisterin zu erleben.
Anbei die Inspiration für meinen Char, der Herr im Hintergrund (wohl ein Novadi-Krieger).

Neben aktuellen Aufträgen arbeite ich fleißig an der Weihnachtskarte für dieses Jahr. Viel Zeit bleibt nicht mehr. Das Motiv muss ja noch zur Druckerei. Aber ich bin zuversichtlich.
Wer mag, kann seine Kartenbestellung jetzt schon gerne bei mir abgeben.

My first attempt at an isometric map for a hombrew game. There’s temple ruins, cliffside drug dens, and giant bugs. What’s not to love??

That's a lot of dungeon to still explore...
In half an hour, our #dnd on #foundryvtt campaign continues. The first time I play a warlock, now she's level 3. Will I remember all her spells and abilities at the opportune time? Soon, very soon, we will find out. :D

This little book was where it all began for so many of us — dice, choices, danger at every turn.
