This is potentially a really cool way of handling initiative. I was trying something similar for a big upcoming project, but hadn't gone quite this far. I might rethink that.

I've never really had a huge problem with naming things in RPGsโ€”characters, locations, creatures, etc.โ€”but naming a TTRPG System itself? I'm finding that to be a challenge. #TTRPG

It's Tuesday, let's talk Typography!

It's been a while since I've shared any design tips back on the bird site that used to was, and a lot of you weren't around for those anyways. So gather round as I get way too long winded with some nerdy typography knowledge. Today's topic: Line Length
(1/34)

#TorchLite is out! Somehow, this customizable, narrative pulp-fantasy #TTRPG, focused on character development & compelling stories of action & exploration (compatible w/ #CortexRPG) feels like the culmination of my 8 yrs creating for #dnd5e.

For your consideration at xineink.itch.io/torchlite

I did some writing for this, as part of a diverse, experienced team. If you use the D&D 2024 books, this provides rules for well-loved character types left out of the new PHB. It also fixes weaknesses the community identified in existing #dnd5e subclasses.

ALSO: I gave necromancers zombie horsies.

Dungeon Masters Guild -

If you want to help out, now would be a great time to buy some of my stuff on the DMs Guild. www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?a... Alternatively, if you're going to need an editor (once I have reliable Internet), please consider me. Money is going to be extra tight here for a while.

So we are still without power and water due to Helene, and we have no real update on when it will be restored. We're better off than many, though. Our house is still standing and we weren't hurt or anything. The cats are fine, if confused. The reptiles are mostly unhappy.

text reads: FACES OF THE CAGE. A collection of cagers and their hauntsinthe city of doors. out now!

The text is written in the Exocet font, the same font used for Planescape.

To the left is the book cover, the Lady of Pain staring menacingly downward, lit from below. Behind her, fracturing broken stained glass with the faces of the NPCs found within the publication.

To the bottom right, the logo for the Odyssey Collective. It's drawn to look like an Ancient Greecian Trireme, with a second sail on the underside, it has stars around it.

The Lady of Pain/title panel/cover composition was done by StickyHunter (me), the busts on the stained glass behind her were done by Kayla Cline.

I've been extraordinarily distracted today. I managed to get one thing mostly off my plate, but there are five other projects I need to work on this week. I... looked at some of them. Briefly. Then I got an idea for a completely new project and worked on that a bit.

Image of a statblock for a familiar that uses your proficiency bonus in a way similar to newer summoning spells.

In The Invoker, I wanted my Witch subclass to have a familiar that was more flexible than the standard Chain Pact options. I accomplished much of that with new invocations, but I also changed the base familiar statblock a bit. This should still be suitable for use with Pact of the Chain.
