Standing here at Essen SPIEL 2025 with the Warlock of Firetop Mountain flyer for the new Fighting Fantasy Quest Kickstarter, I canโ€™t help but feel a wave of nostalgia.

This little book was where it all began for so many of us โ€” dice, choices, danger at every turn.

Strukturiere gerade meine Webseite um, da fiel mir auf, dass ich diese versteckte Sammlung von deutschen Karten der Vergessenen Reiche habe (fรผr umsonst). Bestimmt kein Fehler, den Link nochmal zu teilen: www.marteloschwarz.com/forgotten-re...

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.

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.

Thanks for the feedback! I wanna do a Kickstarter and then make it print-on-demand as well as digital. Parts of it will be prefilled, the attributes and saving throws for example. The player can choose skills (which will be used), languages and fighting style.
An equipment sheet is in the making!

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?

Mein Geburtstagsgeschenk. Wahrscheinlich sind die alten 2014er Bรผcher bald nicht mehr zu haben und das hier wollte ich schon lange mal lesen. Das Eberron Setting scheint sehr beliebt zu sein.

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.

Today I tried myself at #logos creation. This is the first version of the logo for Uoru, my #dnd setting where Kaung Pi is located.

Thanks so much. Working on this for a loooong time now. It's the core of my own fantasy setting. I have pages of locations, lore and descriptions.๐Ÿค“

I think this is about finished for me.

Son chose the helmet and the armour with the scarf around his waist and he always smirks;
the scary monsters!

I just asked for the Eberron setting book as a present for my birthday in two weeks. Nice coincidence. Why do you think Eberron is best?

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.

Die ersten Seiten des #Free5eDE Codex der Charaktere sind jetzt fertig lektoriert. Finaler Satz usw. kommt natรผrlich noch spรคter, aber wir haben immerhin mal einige Seiten Text zusammen.

Die Arbeit an der รœbersetzung des #free5e Handbuch fรผr Spielende geht voran, auch wenn die ersten Teile, die รผbersetzt worden sind nicht so aufregend sind. Das Kapitel mit dem Rechtlichen ist erstmal soweit erledigt, das Glossar wird finalisiert.
