I saw this post and feel like this is a really important opportunity to talk about gender and my own background and the creation of Perils & Princesses and what it means to me as a personal piece of self-expression and as a communal piece of work as a role playing game community. 🧵
Perils and Princesses
Girl by Moonlight
Badge Quest
Even KORIKO????
All men as the sole or main writer
Like girlhood feels like such an integral part to all of these in some way (some I know better than others) but they’re all written by men??

I'm so glad we can all agree Affinity tables suck to use.
I took the time to record a quick tutorial on my (free) Patreon that teaches you the right tricks so you NEVER have to use them ever again for your TTRPG rolling tables and other layout needs.

It's #goblinweek, eh? Let me talk about goblins in HIS MAJESTY THE WORM.
Goblins are the pupal state of orcs. They're up and raiding within a few days of being born. They're rascals, alright, but usually on the side of "troublesome thieves" and less "people eating murderers."

Duck and Crow has made the absurd and awesome choice to SPONSOR A SPORTS TEAM! In this case the sport is #Bloodbowl. The team shall be named "The Sun Eating Bastards" and pained in the Duck and Crow Press colors. The Coach will also read my ads at halftime at the FLGS. I love it.

When GMing, make your world feel more authentic by putting animals in it. In a battle, it's not just warriors that are dying—it's horses. Afterwards, crows and dogs are there to feed on the carrion—maybe even carrion crawlers.
Animals live with us in every capacity. Enrich your world with them.

My take on the Kraken for my ShadowDark Monster Manual project. I actually think this sort of monster works best if you don’t know wha it looks like, just see a stray tentacle or eye along with the storm but I did like how it came out #kraken #shadowdark #monstermanual #dndart #osrart

Day 14. The Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
While MPatHG doesn’t always hit for me (‘tis but a scratch), I always have dug the design of their black knight. Boars are rad as hell.

I've been hearing this refrain lately about AI-
"Everyone uses it, some people are just honest about it."
Bullshit. I can't stop search 'summaries' popping up, but otherwise it's not something I use or want in my writing process.
Never prompted ChatGPT.
Never spent AI credits on Microsoft/Adobe.

“… from a project I'm working on:
Defeated characters are incapable of serious action, barely limping along and unable to succeed tests. Any further harm you suffer either knocks you unconscious or, if the attacker chooses, kills you. Once your [HP is above 0 again], you’re no longer defeated.”

Ultimately we've got to reckon with the fact that much of the OSR movement is merely reacting to indie TTRPGs' tendency to lose sight of why many folks take up the hobby: for a safe and budget-friendly way to satisfy the natural human impulse to put one's friends in some kind of fucked up labyrinth.
