Still catching up, but making progress! Here, we have #gobtober #day10 - the #wolfrider

Charming lil’ bugger despite the fact that he’s clearly… out of his depth.

Glad to hear it! I’ve been enjoying making them, but had to focus on a Kickstarter book cover for a bit. Now that it’s done, I can get back to these!

Time to play catch-up! Here is #gobtober2025 #day9 #wizard and I’ll try to do multiples over the next few days to catch up!

In the heart of a tranquil clearing, bathed in dappled sunlight, a squirrel and raven squabble before a mighty tree stump. Roots meld seamlessly with the earth, and vines drape across it, creating a woodland throne that emanates a mesmerizing aura of fey magic...

Friday Fun: Hook(hands) Edition ↩

Need a scary plot hook for your party of doomed adventurers? 👻 REPLY here to get a small #TTRPG quest or location to toss into your next campaign or spooky oneshot

There are still 5 slots open in my Azurite Armory #OSR zine, starting at just $5! 🎲

Created Wrongly @creativewronging.bsky.social · 28d

Thanks for the tag/share! 🎲

I'm still working on my next #TTRPG zine of #OSR style magic weapons, based on songs chosen by contributors; The Azurite Armory ⚔

There are still 5 slots open for people to get their songs & named credits added! Examples & pricing both below:

Another sample weapon from the prospective Azurite Armory zine. Here, a black & white drawing of a Halberd by Dieselshot is next to text that reads:

"Jacobin
A razor-sharp Halberd (d12) that deals +d12 damage when wielded against an opponent of greater wealth or socioeconomic status. Cannot be wielded by anyone of royal blood.
Inspired by "The Guillotine" by The Coup
Chosen by Scott Jarvis"

Another sample weapon from the prospective Azurite Armory zine. Here, a black & white drawing of a Dagger with keys on the hilt by Hairic Lilred is next to text that reads:

"A Righteous Cause
This Dagger cannot deal damage. However, it can cut through and destroy, or dispel, any physical or magical binding that restricts the freedom of another. Each time it is used in this way, you lose 1 HP. If ever used to harm another, this weapon kills them instantly, at the immediate cost of your own life as well- martyred for your cause.
Inspired by "The Knife" by Genesis
Chosen by Brian Schoner"

Sample weapon from the prospective Azurite Armory zine. Here, a black & white drawing of a mace by Wuggy is next to text that reads:

"1. Demoralizer
This seemingly simple Mace (d8) lacks all adornments or accoutrement. Opponents struck by this weapon have dis on all Morale checks, such that they won't even retreat at full speed. To the bearer of this weapon, colors lose some of their vibrancy, and food some of its taste.
Inspired by "Long Way Down" by Michael Penn
Chosen by T.W. Wombat"

🔪 $5 to join in with your magic weapon based on a chosen song, with crediting, and a copy of the final PDF containing all entries, BUT there are additional features your entry gets for donating more than minimum;
🛡 2x minimum ($10): You get to pick a specific magic weapon OR item type you want (bow, sword, instrument, armor, etc...) for your song entry
🗡 5x minimum ($25): I give your entry premium treatment with an associated roll table of your choice to accompany it (lore, plot hooks, multiple possible powers, wielders, possible locations, etc...)
⚔ 10x minimum ($50): my eternal thanks for your kindness & generosity! Also, a FULL PAGE treatment for your badass item with all of the above; lore, plot hooks, & other similar roll tables

Yeah. Same. One more way for them to annoy the people they are 'serving'. 🫤

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 6d

Thanks for making a fun game! :)

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 6d

Yeah - that was my point. They keep pinging me when I open the app. "You're missing out unless you turn on notifications!"

No. Thank you. AGAIN.

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 6d

Along with “After I tell you I don’t want notifications from you, you can’t continue to try to trick me into enabling them by saying I’m ’missing out’ 6385825 times.”

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 6d

Monster Truckers is out now in digital, and I highly recommend it. Great game, interesting premise, excellent PDF, fun art, and... oh hell - just go get a copy already. :)

Caught up on the livecast from this week. Someone mentioned that other companies are starting to put 'no ai was used' kind of notes on their games and in rulebooks. I think y'all might be interested to know that there is a movement there and people look for that!

Super quick one for #Gobtober #Day7 today because I’m traveling. Still, I really like this lil’ bugger!

Amazing work! Great tune, brilliant video (with great art and animation), and just lots of fun! Thank you for sharing it with us

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 9d

😂 How did you know?! 😉

#Gobtober #Day6 - #warrior - it didn’t turn out quite how I wanted. I started with the idea of silly / ridiculous in my head (bada$$ pose, but you know, goblin), but he was having none of it. Even with his goofy arms / armor, lil dude seems like a bada$$ to me. Needs more detail.

This one is really old, but I’ve always liked it. Simple is sometimes better than complex.

A fantasy themed image of a skeleton with scraps of armor and weaponry hanging from it. The odd angles of its posture speak to its unnatural state as it reaches for the viewer. Art by mrlich.

mrlich @mrlich.bsky.social · 10d

Nice!

Man those look really great, bud!
