Flotsam with homebrew playbooks for #Babylon5 characters did not disappoint! Had a blast facilitating the game. Kosh got what he wanted. Talia ended up activating her telekinesis powers. Deuce got a new ally & Lurker's rogue teeps were crushed between these powers! #ttrpg #BelongingOutsideBelonging

Printed documents, maps, char sheets and handouts for players laying around on a carpet.

Getting ready to run #CometsofKingsport at #GameCon in Pardubice. Edge Studio did a cool job with the downloadable DLC content for #ArkhamHorrorRPG! Maps are HUGE (2x A3) and sooo beautiful. I did additionally recreate some handouts (letter and notes). Anybody with experience how the adventure runs?

I am thinking of running it as a prologue for my Genesys Android campaign to gather some feedback and maybe develop it further as a real meaty adventure. (There are drops within the text hinting at time constraints and other mechanics. Also NPCs may get more space.) Will keep you posted about it! πŸ˜‰

Endless Light by Babcom Heist cyberpunk scenario set in cyberspace for a group of runners

My new little game is online! 🀩 Endless Light is a heist cyberpunk adventure which leads to... well, nothing nice, I suppose. 😜 Proud to be part of the #sfoneshot2025 jam organized by @glitched-tabletop.bsky.social! Get it and adjust it to your needs: babcom.itch.io/endless-light

Return to Perinthos Return to Perinthos is aΒ megadungeon a la Caverns of Thracia. It is a U.S. letter-sized approximately 200-page wirebound book. You will be able to plop almost 80 dungeon tiles and keys right onto your...

BTW, this awesome crazy multidimensional dungeon may be acquired through RV Games at shop.rvgames.company/products/ret... and all profits go to @translifeline.org It is packed with creativity! Totally recommend! 😍

I also tried to focus on giving them personality aspects and motivations to allow for an easier social conflict interaction, which was inspired by Genesys. (I need to turn this into a fully fledged Age of Mythology adventure, seriously. Well, could be a plan for this Summer!)

Finally arrived! 🀩 My first published piece! It's in the Memorial dungeon for Jennel Jaquays called #ReturntoPerinthos. Thank you Violet for all the work! Village of the Moirai is constructed as a parable on the three godesses of the Fates but can be played as with no connection to their mythos.

I am almost always going for the cheap stuff, so I do not think any of these would motivate me to go for a higher tear... but would I go for the higher tier, I would take the fancy bits standard edition.

I am all three of those! 🀩 ...but I suppose I am late to the party, as I was co-organizing our local Pride event and did not have time to look at what is going on in the world. πŸ˜“

US Price Adjustment - Edge Studio New prices in the US starting July 15th

Edge Studio just announced an increase in US pricing following others. Happy to live Europe, though this will spill over for sure...

Played / Storytold Vampire: The Masquerade for the first time. It was a mess. 😜 ...As it should be, I suppose. Meed to check out the rules once more.

Hey, for anyone interested in Genesys material and wondering what the Keleres HQ on Mecatol Rex is like, now you can find out with this free download! (It's in the back)

I know, I may just do an agnostic one-shot adventure for #sfoneshot2025 but I would love to integrate this year's theme of 'adaptation' into the mechanics somehow... so... I am mixing some token flow inspired by @armadajosh.bsky.social's Flotsam into this. Have to playtest though! 😜

Why do I always come up with ideas for #ttrpg campaigns when I just need a one-shot for #sfoneshot2025? πŸ˜… Anybody else with the same affliction? 🀣 How do you approach one-shot building?

Did you actually check this date with anyone from Poland/Europe? I would love to come to the con but holding the convention during All Saints Day is quite a challenge for such a catholic country as Poland and others...

I missed the deadline for the Sci-fi Adventure Jam 2024. It pains me as it was my idea for Stellar Phenomena to be the main theme this year. I do have an adventure ready though, at least in my head, so need to finally schedule some time and write it down. Again one inspired by #Babylon5. πŸ˜‡

I have made a template map of a tomb for Genius Loci - It is now part of the game you can download. So, should you not like to go through the process of creating a tomb of your own and drawing it, you can easily use this one and just go for the heist part of the game!

Okay, lets get this party started! πŸ˜‰ My name is Alex and I am a mostly a GM with a good track record who dabbles in game design since last year. 😍 My new game - Genius Loci - will be coming to DriveThruRPG on April 1st as part of #PocketQuest2024. Keep your eyes open and follow this space! πŸ‘†
