Freelance writer and publisher. Avid ttrpg gamer, disc golfer, and wrassl'n fan. Watch me struggle updating a website: https://paroxysmbydesign.com/ I mostly make light crunch rpgs. Trying to perfect the drama to crunch ratio!
I spent the weekend working through the text of Cörk Børd and adventure Beneath Gotland's Skin to get them into a Beta state for distribution to Kickstarter backers. We're getting closer. I want to offer enough to play with while there's still room for breath—expansion and contraction.

It's been a couple years since Reach of the Roach God was published, and I'm still thinking about how it pulled off stat blocks without stats.
It's a load-bearing piece of tech that's criminally underused.

Thank you and a Boon for you for sharing!
It allows you to roll bonus dice OR have a Kismet Encounter by introducing any NPC into the same scene as you.
In goblyn culture counting goes as follows:
0 = Not One
1 = One
2 = Two
3+ = Two
Unwitting caravans that hired goblyns for scouts rarely came back after being told there were two bandits ahead.
Thankfully players only need to roll two successes for a Triumph to narrate their story.
Just like the number of fingers a goblyn has, there are a Triumph of days left for the Goblyn Market kickstarter!

A system so simple, a goblyn could play it.

Had a lovely chat with @adammakesttrpg.bsky.social about their new TTRPG, Twelve Realms! It's got a cool multi-planet fantasy setting AND an interesting and unique set of rules designed specifically for this game!

For those of you playing fortnightly; do you play only certain games with those breaks?
I'd love to do so, but my groups have often balked saying they can't remember all the clues if it is a mystery. The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of setting up something locally and fortnightly looks best!
The newest update for the Boundless Space playtest is up on Itch, for anyone who'd like to try their hand at a little sci-fi space trading in a faraway solar system.
This update has added a new port, the Railhead, and 12 passengers to move your game along!

Sage advice from Dr Tingle.
Something that occurs to me is that RPG scenarios require participation to be what they are intended to be. Which means those of us writing them need to get past self depreciation and be excited about our work, as otherwise nobody's going to play.
Quick note to let you know the VIP reservation for a Kickstarter I’m working on has gone LIVE. It's for a #DnD hardcover set you're going to want almost as much as you want this Unicorn Barbarian enamel pin. It’s cool af. dice-heads.com/product/stor...

Played a delightful game of Goblyn Market run by @jerodleupold.bsky.social himself. Our three goblyns — I played Snowball, aWrathful Cat Baker who is well-rounded and a pickpocket — were tasked with changing Scrooge's heart of coal into a heart of gold. We succeeded.

Hey #WritingCommunity, if you like romantic fantasy but hate ICE, consider picking up Kelsey Epler's "The Monsters We Keep" and "The Sins We Reap", because she's donating this month's proceeds to mutual aid in Minnesota!

The mid-campaign slowdown is real! It actually feels a lot like Rest in Tales from the Cockpit, where the days/months/years pass by, the world changes around you, and your chassis is affected by the ravages of time.
