It’s World AIDS Day today! Take some time to learn about HIV. CATIE’s website at catie.ca is a good place to start.
These images are from the HIV memorial at 590 Church Street in Toronto that I visited last April.
Names of people lost to HIV are still added to it every year.

Thank you taleofthemanticore.bluesky.social for the shoutout on your podcast today! I appreciate the kind words about my Hardy boys Mysteries RPG!
Here is my sketch Jon said he used to inspire part of the adventure he is playing through on the podcast a few episodes back.

What do you do with the iron-on/sew-on ttRPG patches?

I’m listening to the Monsters and Treasure podcast on my way to CleriCon. The topic is mapping and I realize I didn’t bring any graph paper!

I’m doing another playtest for my new adventure for my Hardy Boys Mysteries RPG!

I have to make sure the bugs are worked out before I run it at CleriCon!

Using some hotel time to work on my latest adventure for my Hardy Boys Mysteries RPG!

There are more books in the public domain this year! That means more material to inspire!

At the Roger’s Centre watching the stadium fill up for the Blue Jays! Game one of three!
Let’s GO!

Hey @taleofthemanticore.bsky.social !

How many Shrink spells does it take to turn a giant troll into a normal troll?

With all the AI stuff out there I find people are responding more to raw art. Why not gamble on yourself?
You said you are having trouble with the digital tools, right? You could do your art in meatspace and scan it. The creator of my favourite zines does it that way.

Don’t shelve it! Get it out there and do better next time! There’s a good chance you are being too hard on yourself anyway.

That ten-sided looks like it came from the Top Secret S/I box!
I’m aware of how crazy this statement is.

Songbirds 3e has a section of the character generation where the player draws tarot cards for different life stages. It grounds the character with a background that creates their development and informs their approach to situations in the game.

The random elements created by the #CloudEmpress #SoloProtocol with PC Approaches and NPC Moods, mixed with the 2d10 Oracle I made are taking the game into surprising directions!

I’m jumping into #SoloRPG play with #CloudEmpress and the personalities I rolled for my party are a little volatile. 😁

I’m on the wrong side of 50 for fancy dice. 😉

CLOUD EMPRESS Ecological Science Fantasy Roleplaying

You can find detailed info about it as well as download free PDFs of the rulebook and an intro adventure at cloudempress.com

It’s like a cross between Studio Ghibli’s Nausicaa and Frank Herbert’s Dune using the Mothership 1e system.

I purchased Daggerheart this past weekend and it looks like fun! I’m looking forward to trying it out!

At the moment my big three are:
-B/X(ish) D&D
-Cloud Empress
-my Hardy Boys Mysteries RPG playtest

I like my dice plain with an easy-to-read typeface for the numbers and high contrast between the colours.

I like my math rocks to be pretty but my top priority is being able to READ them. 😁

The PDFs are available on itch-dot-io if you want to read them on screen while waiting for the 2e version to come out.

I printed them out as booklets on a colour laser printer locally and they look amazing.

Tables are filling up already!

Registration for #CleriCon2025 is open!

It’s a wonderful little old school RPG Con in Glen Williams Ontario, hosted by The Dungeon Minister of YouTube fame!

I love the character growth in this one!

I also can’t wait to find out what good comes out of those choices!

This sounds like Luka Rejec’s Ultra Violet Grasslands. The cat class with pet humans, the mix of low and high tech, weird pilgrims, all on a psychedelic landscape? A combination like that seems like an odd coincidence.

I found some new folks with great ideas here on Bluesky. I haven’t given up on the other platforms just yet, but I feel like I could.

You needed them because you could not bring a spell book into the dungeon. So you only had the spells you memorized before you left.
