a stylized, cartoony illustration. it depicts a crab emerging from the sand on a beach. the crab's movement sent off three anthropomorphized rats flying to all directions, trying to hold their ground with weapons and shield. behind them, there is a stone tower, with a single window, where it can be seen the silhouette of another rat watching the scene.
at the top of the image it reads "In the fort of Captain Fragata" signed by Gustavo Foletto

Hi #mausritter gang and #ttrpgcommunity! Here is the cover for my next mausritter adventure! It's pretty much done, but I have to translate the text and finish a few illustrations before calling it finished. I'll likely publish it by November, along with Mausritter Month.

I read some adventures and a bestiary from @lemosfran.bsky.social for other systems and they were pure gold! Very creative, funny, and great art!

Let me OFFICIALLY double down. @bastionland.bsky.socialโ€™s Into the Odd (and successors like Electric Bastionland and Mythic Bastionland) is the ALL TIME GREATEST TTRPG! As a game or chassis it is the absolute best!

Mausritter, Cairn, Liminal Horror, anything by @byodinsbeardrpg.com, etc.

THE BEST

Into the Bronze by @gontijo.bsky.social is an ABSOLUTE grand slam too!!! Edited by @losing.games of Mausritter fame!!! Love this game so freaking much!!!

Two absolute bangers in the Mark of the Odd family of games - but they came out pre-hype of ItO based games! They are still legends!

65. Warden of the World-Wound by @manarampmatt.bsky.social

A mite-y lil dungeon for Mausritter ๐Ÿฆ—

This jam was practically made for Matt's skillset- maximizing space via vibrant colors, simple art, & utilitarian text. A great premise with a fun twist & new status effect mechanics. Well worth $1!

Saint Witold's Bell by Perplexing Ruins Adventure for Shadowdark RPG

I hit publish on this today!

-Controversial price: thinking more about how much time I put into something, and if I want to make a living or not.

- Controversial art design: i know, it's not Shadowdark, grim, inky, lichey etc.

Really cool setting! Would be fun to include as a village adjacent to the party's home base to check in on every once in a while...

Good luck in the game jam!

Love this one! I personally write short phrases my my NPCs, so your approach chimes with me. The art is superb. The whole scenario fits really well with the Appendix N feel, and has the unexpected, unhinged vibe I find particularly appealing

I love this adventure! Such a fun and disturbing town for players to investigate. I appreciate that there are still a few unenthralled folks to help the PC's understand what's happening, but this is some serious world ending stuff haha! Love the art chosen by PR as well!

Nice package.  Brownie points for a village with a secret.  Gold star for the epic cover.  Merit badge for the ticking clock.  I can see the utility of this plugged into a world - maybe near a dungeon and the adventurers wouldn't know what was coming.  I appreciate that this isn't cramped with everything but the kitchen sink.

The people have spoken: PAWNS OF THE MIND MASTERS is a pretty cool adventure! Check it out now while it's still FREE, and give me a rating on Itch if you think it's cool too! Designed for Cairn 2e but easy peasy for use with any fantasy game. meatcastlegameware.itch.io/pawns-of-the... #AppxNJam

Hey yall,

You have to tell me why the players are doing here if you are writing an adventure. I also shouldn't have to go looking for it.
