Ich bemühe mich, meiner Zeit voraus zu sein. Das Erwachen der Grottenschrate ist jetzt kompatibel mit den neuen Vergessene Reiche-Quellenbänden: Helden von Faerûn und Abenteuer in Faerûn bevor sie in deutsch erschienen sind! Sensationell, oder? 😀

Recently, I had the pleasure to try out the #vaesen #ttrpg in a one-shot led. The game is based on the Year Zero Engine like e.g., Coriolis, and was easy to grasp. The handouts are beautiful. We had such a blast that... it will become a two-shot. 😄 I'm looking forward to playing priest Otto again.

Mein Wiedereinstieg in #dsa: Charaktererschaffung in 4.1. Nach der dankenswerten Einführung durch @feytiane.bsky.social dann mein Versuch, den Char im Bild zu machen. Novadi/Stammeskrieger/Veteran schien logisch. Alles auszurechnen wurde kompliziert, deswegen ein Google Sheet gemacht. 😄

Ahu's First Patrol, my #dnd 5e-based adventure #gamebook is progressing. Preview was reviewed by 3 kind people and I will do a few adjustments. First art is coming together (3 beautiful sketches made by @mhinventory.bsky.social ) and 100 of 350 sections are written.
More reviewers still welcome!

Nach 40 Jahren spiele ich wieder Das Schwarze Auge! #DSA war mein Einstieg in #pnpde, mit der allerersten Version. Jetzt fange ich wieder an und habe das Privileg @feytiane.bsky.social als Meisterin zu erleben.
Anbei die Inspiration für meinen Char, der Herr im Hintergrund (wohl ein Novadi-Krieger).

I found a few (p)reviewers, which is great. A couple more would be better. All volunteers are given a free copy of Bugbear Awakening (in English or German) if interested.

Found this in my old stuff: the very first Lone Wolf book from the “Kai Series”! It was my introduction to gamebooks, and I still think it’s awesome. The storytelling, art, and sense of progression were way ahead of their time.

That's a lot of dungeon to still explore...
In half an hour, our #dnd on #foundryvtt campaign continues. The first time I play a warlock, now she's level 3. Will I remember all her spells and abilities at the opportune time? Soon, very soon, we will find out. :D

Standing here at Essen SPIEL 2025 with the Warlock of Firetop Mountain flyer for the new Fighting Fantasy Quest Kickstarter, I can’t help but feel a wave of nostalgia.
This little book was where it all began for so many of us — dice, choices, danger at every turn.

Here is the equipment sheet for "Ahu's first patrol". Heavily influenced by the Lone Wolf #soloadventure gamebook Series, I adapted it to #dnd5e and tried to give it a south-east Asian flavor.

Working on my first Kaung Pi book, a solo adventure gamebook probably titled "Ahu's First Patrol". Based on simplified #dnd rules, but inspired by the Lone Wolf series, we of course need a character sheet - here page 1. Took me a few days to figure this out, WDYT?

Was thinking for a long time how I roll out my #ttrpg setting Kaung Pi. Finally the decision is made, I will start with a Solo Adventure Gamebook using simplified #DnD rules. Of course it will have a #fantasymap. Here an experiment with framing a bw version.

Apparently in the optimization mode, I'm overall quite happy with the map of Kaung Pi. Latest changes are hard to detect. Playing around with placement and curving of the mountain range names, making the coastline more fiddly, adjusting rivers.

Here the current version of the #fantasymap of Kaung Pi in color. Coastline less straight, names major mountain range added.

Time for some #ttrpg cartography. I revisited Kaung Pi after playtesting was finished a coupe of months ago. While it was fun, was not fully happy with it yet. Here a newer version in grayscale for a change.

For the last two years or so, I've been working on Kaung Pi, a #dnd setting inspired by south and south-east Asia. Main influences are Indonesia and Nepal. Balinese mysticism is a major influence, so this is another background read that I just found at the airport in Jakarta.

A small shrine dedicated to a nature spirit. Shrines like this can be found all over Kong Pi and here, small offerings are given to please the spirits.
