Would love some recs. I had pok pok but got rid of it; I don't know about authentic but the recipes seemed a bit too . . . precious, I guess? It wasn't one of my favorite cookbooks. Very pretty but not very practical.

I'm looking to hire someone to help me design a cover for a #ttrpg I'll be releasing this fall. I've got someone producing the art, but layout is really not my jam, and I'd really like this project to pop. Hit me up if you're interested. I'm on a fairly short (beginning of September) deadline.

My plan is to have the Quickstart rules up in September, with four classes and levels 1-4.

Coming soon: Bree-YARC RPG Quickstart Funding art and an offset print run of the quickstart book of this upcoming game.

I'm getting ready to release a Quickstarter for Bree-YARC (Yet Another RetroClone) that kinda does this, with some elements of 5e, but mostly 3rd edition. It asks what D&D would be like if it used BX as the basis for 3rd edition instead of AD&D. www.kickstarter.com/projects/thi...

I've written up a bunch of new classes for Old School Essentials, but one of my all-time favorites is my conversion of the binder class from the 3rd edition Tome of Magic. I really like how it works, and have so much fun writing up new vestiges. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/3... #ttrpg #dnd #osr

I've realized what I'm trying to do with Project Bree-YARC is imagine what 3rd edition D&D would have looked like if it used BX as the baseline instead of AD&D. With my own assumptions on what the game should primarily be focused on: more exploration and discovery, less fighting.
