Vantage (by Stonemaier Games) is an incredible co op board / card / RPG mash up that you can also easily play solo. Loving it!! #Vantage #stonemaier store.stonemaiergames.com/products/van...

Throwing in a second pic of #jupiter tonight - this one showing three moons. From left to right they are Io, Europa and Ganymede. Taken with my ASI camera and my old Orion 128mm Mak-cas telescope. #astronomy.

I was planning on doing some of the old A1-A4 #adnd modules for my players but after reading them I've decided that they are so poor that they would require extensive rewrites just to bring them up to standard. I may do that because I don't expect to run them till the fall. #dnd #ttrpg

I don't feel I have an intuitive grasp of #SWADE mechanics so made a couple of tables showing the percentages to succeed at a regular check and get a raise #ttrpg #rpg Data from Savage Worlds Success Rate Calculator nicolas-van.github.io/sw_stats/?fb...

One more for tonight. Really just to be creative without any overarching purpose. Micron pens and some kind of water based brush pen (the blue) by Karin. I do like the idea of a single small cave shared by different monsters. But where does that last passage go? #ttrpg #maps #cartography #dnd

Short exercise with the Frixion pens tonight. "The Disappointing Cave" - because not all caves lead somewhere...

Taking all the small maps and transferring them onto the big map... the old fashioned way. #ttrpg #rpg #maplaking #cartography
