Art Resources for Broke TTRPG Creators! by WendigoWorkshop
A small document with a bunch of resources for TTRPG creators on a budget
We have pushed a small update for this!
We added a couple of cool artists and free resources!
We are always looking to expand the list of recommendations with cool artists.
If you make stock art that can be used in TTRPGs and don't see yourself, hit us up and we'll add you (no AI tho)!

๐ค๐ฎโ๐จ I wish I could do sociocultural research on this
I have a feeling that they overlaps with people who reject resolution systems that ask players to state their intent / goal
Despite the fact that lack of clarity results in the GM trying to read their minds. Which is a bad time

Would you consider peoples visceral reaction to BitD's game loop as an example of this?
They desire the illusion there is no game loop. Despite the fact that makes it easier for the GM to run?

๐ฎโ๐จ it's exhausting to have to explain yet again that I play TTRPGs to have authentic experiences with other human beings
Another for the list
Why do AI fans use such terrible arguments?

This would work great for a DaggerHeart #OSR hack
Gaining Hope on 50% of the rolls was weird.
Thanks for doing the math

I ๐ฏ agree, that campaign arc is now about is that PC's corruption
For me that's an interesting story
Otherwise it's just another piece of equipment

My senses expand, as I can now see currents that were previously invisible to me
I can hear the object telling me there are more of its brethren that I must find
They tell me through them I can save my loved onesโฆ

I guarantee you that 5e being the defacto choice and having such inherent complexity it has driven more players away from the hobby then it has brought in because those people assume that just how TTRPGs are.

Your TTRPG setting should have some superstitions. Magic being real would make people more likely to believe outlandish things, not less. Watching your shadow on the night of a new moon attracts doppelgangers. Healing magic borrows health from the future. Go nuts.

If you, regular person, did anything like this after a fatal car accident, you would be prosecuted for a variety of crimes, including insurance fraud.
If you then repeatedly lied to the courts about it, like Tesla did, you'd get prosecuted for that too, plus stiff monetary sanctions.

"Ah, yes, the perfect framing."
(It's accurate in the details! It's also amusing in the scale reversal.)

TTRPGs are one of the few spaces where kids expect to pause and ask:
What do I feel?
What matters to me?
Whatโs the kind thing to do?
Thatโs SEL in action.

15. I'm biased, but:
There is no gaming medium as uniquely human as TTRPGs. No other gaming medium allows (and requires) people to bring so much of themselves and their experiences to the table for play.

It's a scam
They try to become your friend and then make up a reason for you to send them money

The nuances of Apocalypse Worldโs MC prep tools didnโt really make their way into most PBTA games, so using them almost verbatim for Scroll & Steelโs playtesting has been an eye-opening experience.
Itโs like, โOh thatโs why Dungeon Worldโs Fronts never worked for me. They were missing an engine!โ

If you struggle to find time to be creative perhaps we should all work together to make a world where we all have time to be creative
There must be a bigger fish is fiction
There's plenty out there for everyone to have enough

An incredibly easy way to become more creative is to make little Lego robots

You don't even have to buy anything, use virtual Legos.
