This is my periodic encouragement that folks on that list to put their metadata about #TTRPG Actual Play into seriesseeker.com which allows audiences to search by system, length, and loads of other features.

(Itโ€™s also useful as a reflective exercise!)

This is perfectly edible if you want to eat it! If you get squeamish about the sprout, you can just cut it off. It'll show some green inside the onion but it's completely safe.

For planting, you need some sandy loam soil that drains well ๐Ÿ‘ look it up if need be, it's fairly simple to do!

I appreciate the offer! I've taken a look at your stuff and I don't think it's quite the type of vibe I have in mind, unfortunately.

But the Pokemon piece you made was Really Good, loved that one a bunch.

A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads โ€œA realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press"

A black and white ink illustration of The Moon Tarot card. The moon sits high in the star filled night sky โ€” it has a skull like shadow on it. Two monoliths sitting on the horizon frame A path recedes into the distance โ€” winding up and over hills and mountains all the way to the horizon. Along the path there are two wolves howling at the moon. In the foreground there is a skeletal knight and a skeletal horse โ€” they are both covered in fungus and are seated on the ground at the edge of a lake. The skeletal knight looks at a reflection of the moon in the water. The reflections of the moon and the knight are each young and embracing in a kiss. Cattails are coming out of the water on the left side of the water. The top of the card reads โ€œXVIIIโ€ while the bottom of the card reads โ€œTHE MOONโ€

A black and white illustration of sunset over a vista of wheat fields that go off into the mountainous horizon, and are bordered by distant forests. Scattered throughout the fields are a half dozen bonfires where dark plumes of smoke rise into the darkening sky. Tall robed figures carry wood from the forests to the bonfires to keep them lit. In the foreground you can see that skeletons lie beneath the lush fronds of wheat.

The #dnd character sheet can be pretty overwhelming for someone brand new to #TTRPGs, so I made a condense mini sheet which I use every time I run for brand new players to keep things simple for them.

Can anyone suggest a character artist that has a gothic-y anime-y style? I'm not looking for hyper-realism but for good solid fantasy character art.

I will give you a single corn chip for a recommend? ๐Ÿคฒ

I have 2 hands - one has had to handle two weeks of pet emergency and the other has been working on figuring out proper adventure design.

Anyway a little thing called "The Queen of Spades" has been written just for my own enjoyment-

Next week on Reckless A-Talk we are joined by @aghostofeli.bsky.social !

Eli talks about the collaborative process over at @maydayroleplay.bsky.social, the importance of building peer groups, sound design, and living life as a cool person.

I editorialized on that last point, but itโ€™s not wrong.

What are your favourite TTRPGs that largely incorporate themes and creatures of mythology, folklore, and legends - either mechanically or narratively. Games from publishers or indie creators welcome, GMless or GMd. I'd like something that can be run with a group!

We could all learn something from him.
