I'll be honest with you.

My friend and I spent about 5 minutes staring at that chart in utter confusion.

You buried the lede on how you 'roll' for this table. When are we getting a TTRPG with a magical finger matrix?

Most Recipes: "Do these things, in this order, and it will turn out perfectly!"

Turkey Recipes: "Solve this formula for X, pray to every god you know, and the Turkey may come out mediocre (at best)"

Our Sailor Moon rewatch made us fall in love with Jadeite.

But which member of the Dark Kingdom is your favorite?

Slumber Party Séance by @sombrecita.bsky.social is a charming solo-TTRPG that asks a simple question:

"What would happen if your slumber party Ouija board session accidentally summoned the ghost of Regina George?"

It is a fun Y2K flashback in all the best ways!

In a remote Arctic base, a shapeshifting creature lurks in the shadows.

Can your ragtag group of scientists restore the base's power before the creature claims you?

It is impossible to talk about Batman: The Animated Series without talking about Kevin Conroy.

One of the highlights of this episode was getting a chance to share our memories of him and acknowledge the effect his work had on us.

New #TTRPG!

Spirit Box is a spooky LARP that emulates YouTube ghost hunting videos and Found Footage horror movies.

Can your group of ghost hunters work out how to put the spirits to rest?

Or will they be possessed by a less-than-friendly spirit?
