My process starts with rules explainers and example abilities in a notebook or OneNote.

Then I copy into Word to format it up. ( I'm not sure how that compares to g-docs, ease of use wise)

This year, I'll add see if I can add a next step of layout software.

Devlog 16: Update on 'Things' Seasons Greetings Bludgeoneers! It has been a wild second half of '25 for us. I cover a bit of that in my last Devlog where I talk about needing to take a bit of a step back. I'll talk more about that...

We've been quiet since our last update. That's probably not going to change, but we did want to share an end of the year update along with a cheeky set of additions to the rulebook.

Not classically, but it's been growing in popularity over the last decade.

Some of us started in the '00s, but a bulk of players got into the hobby with stranger things, critical role, and the pandemic.

Apropos of nothing:

In my mind, George of the Jungle perfectly encapsulates the player fantasy of a Bard-barian.

That is all.

The Crown of Jarajakti. A naval horror adventure. Find the stranded ship and escape with the treasure. What seemed like a simple job quickly takes a much more disturbing turn...

Under a day and $100 to fund for this promising young designer's project.

The #Shadowdark and #Bludgeon conversions are very promising for those who enjoy Indie TTRPG and at $11 for a PDF, hard to go wrong.

Decided to roll 3 sets:

1) 8-4-2-2 -> Magical event at childhood and then a fairly standard life.

2) 1-8-5-7 -> A lot more turbulent, this life. Had a family and become a quest giver.

3) 2-1-5-4 -> Ups and downs in life - most around their love- but has a sedate old age.
