No I think this is a valid discussion! Plus us layman won’t figure it out unless we talk about it. I think your original post is onto something. There is a subset of the RPG audience that expects all RPG’s to be art books which is very interesting to me. Everyone has their preferences.

Agree we do indeed! Too much graphic design is definitely not a thing, just a bunch of pre-coffee rambling from me 😂

Ultimately, if an RPG is easy to run and is able to evoke a vibe through some combination of text and art, whatever blend or style the creator uses is good with me. I think the road each individual takes to get to “good” matters less, and it’s more about the execution of whatever you choose.

I tend to think of graphic design in RPG’s the art of blending the text and art into one cohesive piece for example Mork Borg. On the other hand, Shadowdark for instance, very classic two column with great spot art and readability, i’m not sure i think about it as graphic design. But what do i know!

This 1000%. It’s like cooking a balanced meal.You need just the right amount of each ingredient. Too much graphic design and it’s hard to run, but also too much text can make it just as hard to run as well.

Well, my first Gamehole Con was an absolute blast! Not only did I get to play #RaptorRuckus, #Dragonbane, and #Lancer for the first time, I got to run my upcoming #PirateBorg adventure Saltwater Sacrament for the @need.games guys, with whom I became great friends! Gary Con can’t come soon enough!

Coming soon: Hope Springs Eternal A supplement for Daggerheart. Five in-depth campaign frames, each complemented by a location (hooks, NPCs, adversaries, environments).

For you Daggerheart fans out there, the editor for my project Saltwater Sacrament, @ericlazure.bsky.social, has a Kickstarter coming soon with a bunch of great resources for the system! Check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/eri... #daggerheart #ttrpg #criticalrole

Coming soon: Pirate Borg: The Winds of Hell A daemonic campaign swarming with bloodthirsty undead, Inquisition zealots, and enough pirates to fill all the hulks in the Colonies!

I am thrilled to announce that my new adventure zine, Saltwater Sacrament for @limithron.bsky.social's Pirate Borg will be available as a part of the upcoming Winds of Hell Kickstarter, bringing a double dose of heresy to the Caribbean! #pirateborg #osr #ttrpg

Had a blast running @jacobfleming.bsky.social’s Through the Valley of the Manticore with Knave 2E last night at @limithron.bsky.social’s Ship of the Dead Meetup! Plays as smooth as you would expect! #OSR #Knave2E

Hey, artist! Quote one art to promote yourself

Creative work is maybe 10% creative and 90% work. The final product is, well, a product of many small things: iterations, testing, sometimes just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Ideas are cheap. Execution is what makes those ideas happen. And that's difficult.

And about 9 hours later! Decided to drop the clouds - they took away from the main pyramid structure of the comp. Just deciding on treatment of the Rouge. Textured or solid blacks - then off to Patrons! How cool is that. $2.50/mo and you get to use this on your books!?

Plus One is looking for 4 "Zine Weight" #TTRPS to help support next year in a very particular way.

We want to run 4 titles by newer creators through 4 different "funding platforms" & track the process for each one.

The platforms are:

Been meaning to check this one out for a while!

I agree, I like the the first one quite a lot but I think the second one is better game.

another one of this series, which has already been shown :)

The shipping is expensive, but everything I’ve gotten from them has been top notch in terms of quality. Very much worth it, but I recommend buying multiple things at once if you can!

I had no idea this existed! My annual reminder to watch Mandy. Definitely going to pick this up.

The legend does it again. #joeabercrombie #thedevils

Gross! 10/10 video.

My view is that the author of a published adventure should consider themselves a co-conspirator with the GM.

That means clearly and concisely explaining what the plan is.

It is strangely common for published adventures to try to pull a fast one on the GM.

Anyone hungry? Go pick up Sin Eater! Been looking forward to this launch for a quite a while!
