So, it has come to my attention that it is, yet again, Bandcamp Friday. I’ll let you in on a secret—we’re endearing to convert our basement into a humble home recording studio. You could help us reach that goal by buying some of our music! And then we can afford to put out MORE music, MORE often!

I can also give you actual sources in the cocktail book Dungeonmeister. Worth picking up!

While the fae aren't known for their own cocktails, they ARE the suppliers of some of the best garnishes and modifiers in the game. Bitters that impart changing flavors but also changing colors and forms, edible magic glitters, flowers that let you smell your drink to drink it, silly straws.

The Ponderous Basin is a Tiki style bowl drink for 4, common amongst wizards both during college AND after. A concoction of various exotic juices, strongly brewed potions of inebriation, spices and enchantments unique to the Barcaster preparing the drink. No two are the same, nor are their effects.

The Mighty Dwarven Atom Smasher is like a Long Island Iced Tea in the sense of...it's a flagon filled with a blend of the 4 highest proof liquors in the realm. Equal parts with Goblin blood for color.

🚨 UNLOCK ACHIEVED 🚨

Thanks to an influx of new backers from Reddit yesterday, we've now hit the next Itchfunding unlock: mid-'90s soundtrack.

I've asked @ofsleepingbears.bsky.social to create a killer '90s companion EP to enhance MotC play sessions.

We're less than £150 away from unlocking a '90s soundtrack for Midnight of the Century! You all aren't ready for the atmospheric goodness @ofsleepingbears.bsky.social can cook up. 👀👀

HXPLR HXPLR (hex-plore) is a very rules-light roleplaying game I wrote as an experiment for myself. That’s it, there’s nothing too fancy about it. I hope it’s useful to you.  Be small in form factor, so the...

I released HXPLR today. A little cc-by 4.0 chassis I wrote as an experiment for myself as I tried to codify the ideas i use while teaching rpgs at schools, libraries, and cons.

The website also has a PLETHORA in the downloads section for printables, from character sheets to grid and hex patterns so you can print your own as well as supplements for some classes, sentient weapons, secondary skills, equipment packs and more!

In case anyone was wondering, this is how affordable Basic Fantasy is, if you want the physical book. $41.96 CAD before taxes/shipping gets you the core book (an all-in-one), an adventure book, dice, pencils, and notepads on Amazon. It's a hard deal to beat. #TTRPG

What I say on stream doesn't count. This is an ad for the server.

Was Cryogenic jorkalation chamber THAT bad?!

The raw whiplash of going from ambient tense biome centric soundscapes to 80s-90s VHS processed film/TV music and then back to atmospheric fantasy is probably going to kill me

80% of my free time spent NOT at my day job is being neck deep in making TTRPG soundtracks. LET ME BE QUIRKY ON MAIN DAMMIT

I've been radio silent for a minute between my day job, a breakup, and projects but I wanted to say thanks everyone for being patient and also thank you for reaching 600 followers! I've got a lot of stuff I'm excited to share with you very soon!

Occult detective #TTRPG Midnight of the Century smashed another Itchfunding goal! Unlocked: investigation generators and solo rules for the full book (now I need to start work on these).

Next goal: a banging '90s soundtrack from @ofsleepingbears.bsky.social.

I almost forgot and it's a little late but it IS bandcamp Friday if you feel like showing me a little support!

You're a very good jfur. Thank you.

A comfort food lately has been many a different sandwich. I appreciate the kind words

I got a new baritone. I'm still depressed but now I'm depressed with a new guitar.

You got it Chief Beef *jumps off cliff*

Thank you Father

I want to break the radio silence a bit. Very recently my relationship of almost 9 years ended very suddenly and I have been slowly trying to get back on my feet. It hasn't been easy, I'm very emotionally exhausted, but I'm ok. I hope you've all been well.

I've seen many conversations like this one today. Been lucky enough to be in a few. If you are a #TTRPG or boardgame enthusiast, understand *very few* of us get rich, or even cover the bills, with this industry. We charge as little as we can to stay relevant with giants who pay 1/4 our costs. 🧵
