Kobold Krew 2 - Back to Basics So work still progresses on this as I learn a lot about book setup and layout. There has been a major change though. I was going through a third rewrite trying to organize the rules better in the book...

A post about why I returned to #TunnelGoons by @n8hps.bsky.social for my game.

The Explorateur: Issue #12 Monthly design discoveries for tabletop rpg designers including jams, critique, theory, and tools. Vetted. Looted. Curated.

It looks like the rpg designers are back from summer break, because this month's issue of The Explorateur is over-encumbered with designer reviews, advice, and resources.

What should I do for the anniversary issue next month?

Not sure if this helps but you can use “rules” in most email programs to auto sort emails into folders. I have a newsletter folder and each newsletter inside gets its own folder. So it’s easy to see when I have new newsletters.

These are great. I started doing 3x3 paintings. I was going to do a series of RPG items. Might need to revisit. Are you doing large washes? And then pen after? The pen seems really vibrant.

A zine cover image. Forest with a kobold popping out of the bushes. He is shouting Kobold Krew.

Looking for a few people to read through a zine and give some feedback. Let me know if interested. #TTRPG #Zine #Kobold

Cover wrap showing “kobold Krew” as the title. Either a kobold peaking out from bushes.

Rules page with a large image of a kobold riding a boar and a combat example.

Sample adventure of a 7 room dungeon.

Finished off the major things on a hack of #TunnelGoons by @n8hps.bsky.social lots of small fixes left to do, like spelling and grammar #zine #ttrpg #kobolds

One page cozy bookshop vibes. Shot me a DM if you want me to send you a PDF.

Image of a dungeon map on paper. There are 7 areas the first 5 are rooms with furniture and the last two are a large mine connected to the rooms. Mushrooms seem to be growing out of control.

Making a little map for in the kobold Krew book. Doing like a small 1 page dungeon as a sampler for people #ttrpg #zine #kobolds

Dark moody Forest scene showing a single kobold popping out from the bushes. Kobold Krew is written in a large speech bubble above their head.

Reworked my cover wrap for the new layout of Kobold Krew. I am really liking this more muted color palette. #kobold #ttrpg #zine

A Stone Hears by Jason Pickering A solo journaling game about helping a community

Added a few more community copies to my solo journal game “A Stone hears”. #soloRPG #TTRPG

Thank you for this. I like to develop solo games but I have done mostly journal ones and have been interested in adding more dice mechanics. My latest one just scratched the surface when I added something like a Difficulty score to the mix, but it’s still very on rails.

I love hacking tunnel goons. How are you handling it solo?

Out of Print by Jason Pickering A Solo Journaling RPG about running a bookshop

I created a solo journal game that was spending a day running a book shop, but I added a two player rule where you wrote to another book store owner as a pen pal or text message. If you are short on cash there are a few community copies left from a weekend sale.

Me: runs screaming out of the house.
