Grieve, I guess. Write a tasteful eulogy. File some bereavement time off from work for whenever the service is held. Wonder what kind of a fallen world we live in where games are shooting each other in the face.

Overwatered a plant. Pretty sure it's doomed.

oh no, that's another couple decades in plant purgatory for your boy cleansing my plant sin so I don't go to plant hell

also: my bones hurt

because of all the tomb guardian curses

Ruin: An Anthology of One Shot Incursions for Trophy A collection of 14 new incursions for Trophy Gold and Trophy Dark.

We've hit all our stretch goals for our TTRPG anthology!! 20 new one shot incursions for Trophy! We're not going to be printing a lot of extra books so be sure to get in on it now or you'll be sad later! www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...

Want to feel sad?

You never know which invitation to go rob a tomb will be your last one. You'll just look around at your life and say "boy, it sure has been awhile, hasn't it, since I've had grave dirt under my fingernails and the tomb guardians' curses upon my bones."

Enjoy it while you can!

I could figure out how to come up with a printable playbook design, or... I could give up doing RPGs forever.

Some might say this is a cognitive fallacy and that there are in fact many of other possible outcomes, but I think if they look again, they're wrong.

Surprised looking doodle man. WE ARE ALIVE

My games are a magic trick: players speak something aloud about the game world, and later the Keeper introduces that thing in a scene and players react with surprise and delight because they were right all along about that part of the game world.

Trophy Golf - Michael Van Vleet | DriveThruRPG What Is TROPHY GOLF?  Trophy Golf is a set of rules that introduce the game of golf into a Trophy Gold campaign. Trophy Gold’s rules remain in place: each character still requires treasure to survive,...

Shout out to whomever decided today was the day to get into Trophy Golf, the ridiculous (but functional) rules I wrote to add a golf game to your Trophy Gold games.

Features amazing art from @rapidpunches.itch.io and @erbmaster.bsky.social

I could watch a million of these.

Maybe two, depending, there's a lot on my plate, but we could shuffle a few things around to make room.

Like to see a version of Dracula where when they're signing the papers for the castle, Dracula has his own buyer's agent, and there's also someone there from the title company who did the title search. Maybe that's who the three vampire women in the original Bram Stoker book are.

wow!

seriously?

wow!

Hell yeah! I appreciate the support (and kind words)!

Ha ha!

Luckily, monster mouth noises are entirely optional at the table.

yes yes yes YES YES YES!

People need to start being less amazed when writers "predict" current events simply because they used a model from history and more depressed that as a species we're so repetitiously stupid.

I'm in this! Favorite playtest moment was probably when a poet got stricken with "tongue crawls out your mouth like a slug with a mind of its own" disease

So close to unlocking this stretch goal featuring incursions written by someone who practically redefined ttrpgs and has made many hugely influential games plus also Avery Alder.

Thank you, Monster Mouth Noise Fans, your community really stepped up.

Somehow we're already on the path to unlock the "Jason Cordova monster mouth sounds" stretch goal.

Fans of Jason's Actual Play performances, you know what to do! Fans of monster mouth noises who are unfamiliar with Jason's work in this realm are also more than welcome.

Cultists and frogs, they go hand in... paw? flipper?

Oh, it's hand. Frogs have hands.

One more thing they have in common.

4. "My tongue is meat and your ears are meat. You understand? Meat talks to meat and meat hears meat. And together... we meet. You understand? Let me put my tongue in your ear." 5. "Say the word steam with me. Steeeeeeeeaaammmmmmmm. The air that leaves your lungs carries all your worries out into the world, leaving behind... what? That's right: space. Where god dwells."

The most fun I had writing this incursion, Pentah's Rest, was writing a bunch of cultist babble the GM could read aloud to players.

"Stew horror" is an underutilized subgenre of horror and I'm excited to see it expanded.

Ruin takes Trophy RPG's brief and deadly tales and makes them even briefer and deadlier.

These are short, truly one-shot incursions crafted by folks who write and run Trophy games a lot.

But from the works in progress I've seen, this book is a BARGAIN.

The most exciting rogues gallery of writers, crafting delightful little danger boxes for your players.

If you're not sold on me, don't worry, there's 13 other amazing creators AT A MINIMUM. Check out the stretch goals, there's some exciting names waiting in the wings to join.

If you're a fan of the material I've written for Trophy, then you're in luck: more of it is available as part of this collection of incursions.

I contributed a 3-set Trophy Gold scenario set in a fallen hot springs that has both a cult AND frog problem.
