The clock is ticking! Remember, The Prison Pits of Larubia features luscious illustrations by @perplexingruins.bsky.social! It's Old School #ttrpg fantasy adventure, with just a splash of pulp science fiction.

Haven’t settled on this one completely, but also quite like how the halfling isn’t the typical in appearance
Definitely feels more comics than “old school d&d” but that might be okay

I’m looking to read some newer RPG adventures to smack me about the head and perhaps encourage me to write better adventures. Or more engaging. I don’t know. I feel creatively slumped and need some great example of engaging writing, amazing graphic design, improved organization. Something.

Despite months of casting each other as prime adversaries, President Donald Trump and New York City’s Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani have indicated an openness to finding areas of agreement that help the city they’ve both called home.

WATCH LIVE: Trump and NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani meet in the Oval Office

to my domestic industrial engineers out there!
When you design your next trash can, could you please add a few more creases, nooks, holes, and crannies!
that way, when I turn it upside down, spray with hose, and use my vacuum on it, there will ALWAYS be just a little crumb & detritus left
thanks😉

Going to be selling some originals after the holiday to pay for big car repair bill (brakes and rotors)
Will have others in addition to these.
May try to draw small ones for cheap over the next week or so

I’ll bite. Pilgrim’s Passages is out in Open Beta. It’s my house system about Pilgrims traveling from place to place, creating art, and helping the communities they visit. I think the game is rather unique and I’d love more eyes on it. It’s also PWYW!
