dunno why i need to even say this in 2025, but a prince "fighting" in the Malvinas War is not a war hero.

Thanks to @phophos.bsky.social and @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social for running this jam. There's some cool stuff submitted.
If you saw @farirpgs.com 's excellent Boundless and thought, "What if more Bloodborne combat?" this might be one way that would look.

The thumbnail image for the live action roleplaying game Local Glyph. A yellow, metallic surface covered in rust. A teal glyph (consisting of an eye shape with two lines through it, one of which curves around to the bottom of the shape) has been drawn on the surface. It, too, has been worn away by rust. Text on the left, written vertically from top to bottom, rusty brown test reads: "LOCAL." Text on the right, written vertically from top to bottom, bright teal text reads: "GLYPH."

Check out my new game! Local Glyph is a LARP magic system which uses graffiti to cast spells. It may overlay on top of other games. Created for Random Prompts TTRPG Jam, hosted by @farhorizonscoop.bsky.social and @phophos.bsky.social.

i have never tried to submit to one of the creator programmes, only the main site, so i can't speak to how to do it i'm afraid.

extending the deadline on the random prompts jam to the start of the witching hour on Halloween night, if your entry isn't in by then, then we won't be judging it (but you can still submit it late, dm me).

publish under the general DTRPG site, not a vaulted one. you get a better cut that way anyway.

Midnight Burger still reading a list of Patreon-backer names that's probably 10 minutes long is, to be honest, amazing.

last project the designer got Offspring's Why Don't You Get a Job in my head and also reminded me of painkiller addiction, editing is a wild ride sometimes.

anyway if you need some kind of #ttrpg thing to be edited in the near future or indeed immediately, hit me up! you can reach me by DM here, or on Discord @phophos. if you're the one ttrpg person i don't have a mutual server with then you'll have to do a friend request like it's MySpace.

i have worked on more stuff than i care to mention (or can remember), but my clients say i am good to work with, and lots of them keep coming back with new stuff for me to work on. i love nearly everything i work on and i will tell you this constantly, if that floats your boat.

finished an editing commission unexpectedly early (it was fun to work on), so I'm here to edit your #ttrpg stuff!

comprehensive line/copy editing pass with dev notes offered, compliments about your cool ideas and fun asides are free.

currently working at about 5k words per week, rates on request.

man that's even more gauche, naming something after yourself? that's so gross. they could at least bury the lede a bit and name after some other douchebag.

I've sort of come to the conclusion that the so-called executive branch would call it this (heinous name) anyway, not to call everyone's bluff, but because the hypocrisy is the point. They can lie to your face and the next moment show you the truth as well, and you just have to take it.

this is basically the whole reason i wrote /a loud noise in a quiet place/, i lost my hearing and was told there was nothing the health centre could do for a week.

very glad you can hear fully again, it's such an isolating experience.

twice they refer to the baddie as a bitch, and once a 12yo tells a news reporter to piss off.

watching Casper the Friendly Ghost with my kids. it's pretty slow, but, how did they get away with the language in a PG in the 90s?
