Index card kinda does it? Cadwallon: The Free city used it as well but it was never formally used a die to record it (but the danger level was out of 20 in most cases). I use it all the time as a danger rating/clock mechanic. A die is a great visual reference for players, it can also be rolled...

This week in the Bathtub, it’s Ennie nominated Alice in Wonderland inspired module Wonderland. Is this a deeply flawed misunderstanding of the megadungeon as a concept, or is it Andrew Kolb’s magnum opus? Find out! idlecartulary.com/2025/07/21/b...

I saw Jaws at the drive in as an infant and pretty sure I saw Halloween and Alien in a similar context. Then saw them all again when my folks got a VHS player in 82ish

We wonder why there is very little real in-depth artistic analysis of TRPGs when discourse is all sub posting in fear of flame wars and airing out decades long personal grievances.

Knock! Issue #5 An Adventure Gaming Bric-a-Brac. Being A Compendium of Miscellanea for Old-School RPGs. For us OSR weirdos and curious D&D heads alike.

I did back this wonderful book for weirdos in order to get the set to the Antipodes at a non ruinous price. It's good stuff, the Mushmen have been dropping a bunch of ace stuff of late (Chaos Cryer #1 is also really good and loads of content for a slim zine) @themerrymushmen.bsky.social

I'd say dark fantasy/sword and sorcery would be the feel i'd be looking for?
