Hey all!

I'm Peter aka Jimmy Shelter, a TTRPG designer/writer from the Netherlands.

You might know me from my weird city solo journaling games A Visit to San Sibilia & Hiria: the Eternal City, or from my meddlesome kids game Pine Shallows.

I thought this might warrant it's own post.

I quit my job. Free time starting the end of December.

I do have some ideas on what I want to do next (no tech anymore, that's for sure), but first a bit of time off. Which does mean, more writing time!

Pine Shallows as written doesn't contain any rules for combat.

Still, people do ask on how to handle combat (and my own players are also known to start a fight).

I wrote up some guidelines!

Er gaat een oproep rond om veel en massaal naar Vrijheid, Gelijkheid, Zusterschap van Sophie Straat op Spotify te luisteren. Als protest dat een anti-AZC nummer (gegenereerd door AI) op 1 gaat komen en dat willen we niet.

Wij zijn met meer. Doen jullie mee?

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

I don't have the ambition to be a big rpg designer, I just want to be big enough for it to make sense to be asked as a stretch goal contributor.

I've just started reading the famous Magic of Inventorying by @rolistespod.itch.io. I love how the game itself throws you in media res while it is usually a DM choice. Grab it in TTRPG Bundle for Palestinian Children's Relief Foundation for $10.00 along with +200 other games!

If you are thinking of gifts for Xmas this year, my book about tabletop games, The Game Changers (UK, other territories) / Across the Board (US, Canada), is out in paperback, audiobook & ebook. I think it is good for anyone who loves boardgames old or new, or who likes stuff on culture & history.

Reading 4 non fiction books concurrently. One about bees on a balcony, one about anarchism, one with journaling prompts and one about notebooks.

What's your favorite 3 stats array in a roleplaying game?

It's a nice way to theme your game.

I'm partial to Pine Shallows' Brain/Brawn/Heart, but I also dig the Grit/Mask/Wits from Hardcase.
