In the last Candela Obscura session, the party fought cursed dolls who stabbed them with letter-openers, choked them with sewing threads, and shot them with toy guns.

This system proves to be frightening, comical, and beautiful at the same time.
I love it.

Shoot!
We have been discovered!

Consequences, coin-tossers, and beggars. A title framed by a black and white picture of a victorian carriage with a driver and a horse.

After a showdown with a Bluecoat patrol, my character Gunner finds himself in a predicament: an armored carriage he so meticulously cleansed of guards became a target for a rogue thief.

Part III of Blades in the Dark Solo Play is up!

The Toothbold – A tiny undead tooth-like creature.

Aka the “Teethling” – sounds gross, is gross. Children tell fairy tales about an eccentric necromancer who created the toothbolds as part of a macabre dental prosthesis. After his death a long time ago, the quirky creepers are believed to still roam the land in search for a new host. Well, every legend has a kernel of truth it seems, as this critter is in fact described to symbiotically live in the jaws of other creatures. In return for the provided shelter, the grateful toothbold gifts some of its inherent dark magic to its protector and grows strongly attached – figuratively and literally.

The 2nd part of the Toothbold's gameplay stats.

Flashback to the Toothbold – a tiny undead creature, yet friendly guest. Would you dare to be its welcoming host? #dnd #ttrpg

Reminds me of this one. I hope the following months bring you balance and light, Rich.

Truly a dream country!
If the road ever leads me there, I'll ring you up :D

I believe you 😂 I think I'd have the same feeling in your place. The tourists, the extravaganza, the bloating of it all. Sadly, that's the most I've seen from the Netherlands, but here's for some future visits and connecting! ✊👊

Haha all of those are legit! Take your time and space 😊

Horribly hilarious! 😂😂

Are there any new projects on your horizon, or are you just taking your time, connecting and such? 😊

Since I started running games "pro", I wanted something new, different from my established world. And I thought of an idea of a kingdom with an interesting curse: people are horribly unlucky, so much so, that every possible inconveniences occur daily haha.
So I decided to write abt it while creating

Our power would be absolute then haha! I've been yes. I liked it, although it was 7 years ago I think. So far the most magical city in my heart is Amsterdam. The architecture is like a fairy tale.

There're additional rules to make it work, and I was testing a heist, so gave it a shot. 😊

You remember correctly ^^

Currently writing a series of Blades in the Dark solo play of my game, a truly epic tale I didn't know was possible to happen in a solo game.

And a worldbuilding series with practical advice as I build a setting from scratch.

My bad! I meant NY as in New Year going for Berlin 😂 New York is a bit too far away and once in a lifetime is enough for me 😂
Loved them as well! 💙 Glad to see you here on this much more easygoing platform.
I miss Cast Guidance as well. I remember them from time to time, hope they are well ^^

Ohhh congratulations! I wish a long, happy marriage filled with adventures 💙
Berlin's awesome, I am visiting for NY ^^
Glad to see you back, to be honest :)

I am splendid. Returned from a vacation, attended a close friends' wedding, and am now back to writing and running some games ☺️

Replies (and messages) are much more meaningful, time-wise ^^
I am glad when I see either, but with replies, there's always an opportunity for a convo!
Like this one.

This is awesome to see Andy! :)

My darling humans, if there is one thing I wish I could communicate it’s that when an artist talks about influences, it’s not usually/necessarily about replicating plot structures or story beats, it’s about grappling with ideas & ways of seeing the world.

100% agree

Wholeheartedly agree. Can't remember the last time we started level 1.

Hey folks!
