For any American tourists visiting London this week here's a handy pronunciation guide, when asking for directions to Leicester square remember: Abolish ICE. It's Le---ster square.

After an overly long hiatus I've found the vibe again with a revamped colour scheme and some actual play testing. First session back on it went well. #ttrpg

Getting drunk alone doesn't feel destructive if you also dance.

First draft rules for debt and favour, a light party game for 4 to ten people.

Here's something that arrived almost fully formed inmy brain one morning. A light party game toplay around other entertainment. Completely untested, will probably get refined after some play-throughs.

Been takinga break from game design while I settle into the new job, but feeling the urge again.

Standing in the kitchen, asking the cat what she wants for the tenth time. Then feeling like a hypocrite because even with your massive human sized brain you don't know what you want yourself, so how, with that tiny fluffy vacant cat noggin, could she?

No monsters in my game, just people doing monstrous things. Here's one ofthe worst.

In a bit over a week I get Spin onto the table with my regular gaming group. I've not GMd in a couple of years, and I'm going to be running this system for the first time whilst trying to take playtest notes and deal with anything brokenthat I've missed. Either TTRPG heaven or hell await me, or both

Oh go on then. This is apparently me.

Tbf, probably pretty accurate... despite my own biases.

I love this so much

Coming in late to this #PortfolioDay with a few of my recent book covers. I'd love to do more!

Hello #PortfolioDay ! My name is Elena and I'm an artist, work with ink on paper, like fairytales and forests!

Happy #portfolioday !

I am a freelance illustrator and i'm looking for work! I'd love to do more editorial work, or branch out towards book or comic covers!

Several artworks showing a birthday cake melting into bodily decay.

Large illustration with details obscured with swirly patterns. Depicts a young man (Michael Afton) cooking dinner at night in a dirty kitchen with a clown-like figure (Circus baby) looming in the darkness behind him. The frying pan he is using is luminated by a ceiling light, also showing abstract details in the background including parts of circus baby's body.

Chimney billowing smoke into a cloudy sky.

Abstract art depicting the bust of a wolf-like character in a suit, the eyes empty and the teeth sharp and long. The name plate on the stand is empty.

#PortfolioDay I'm making artworks again.

Amazing, I love it. It sounds so much like an idiomatic phrase that would be used in common conversation, something that the people of your world would naturally know the meaning of through cultural osmosis. You've pitched it perfectly

I very much enjoyed reading through it, there are some excellent little bits of world building in there that I can see being really good narrative jumping-off points.
I have one nagging question that I'm going to ask though: Is "owl job" a saying in your first language? Or is it your own invention?

Screenshot of the tail end of a page (31) with a subhead title "Business". There's a greyscale illustration of a white man with salt and pepper hair in a chair at a desk smiling. His grey suit has black lapels that have an eclipse symbol on them. Beside him, the text reads: "You know business, legitimately or illegitimately. You know money, trading, how to buy and sell things, and may be particularly adept at white collar crime. The business you run could be a company, a “family business” in organized crime, or black market dealings. Talent: Start the game with a Resource relevant to your specifications. +3 points for either OUTSMART or OUTWIT stats."

Cropped greyscale illustration of a sleazy looking man with salt and pepper hair in a suit. The text is cropped but some of it includes: "Mr. Klipse. Criminal. Neutral. Names: Edgar Klipse. Capabilities: NPC Villain. There's a red dot on his face for no reason other than I made a mistake screencapping it.

I've been working on a TTRPG and it's getting close to completion, and today seems like a good day to post a couple of previews:

I'm impressed that this is the first rule set and scenario you've written. There are some lovely ideas.
You have a few issues with your text though, some just vocab and grammar, but some sections need more clarity, point replenishment as an example. Overall a very cool little book though.

For me, I'd want to use those first five to establish the world, and introduce little hints at the problems it faces that your players may be able to fix, rather than entirely just being jobbing questers. Basically, tons of foreshadowing in each session while they're touring the world

Complete amateur here:
The scale only matters if its part of your plot, you can run campaigns in just a city.
You'll make more world than your players will ever see.
Get your plot fixed down, start to finish. Or it'll keep changing as you add stuff to the world.
Are you making the system as well?

Ever wanted to meet a poorly disguised Spider Jerusalem rip-off in the back room of the bar from cheers, save him from an assassination attempt, and convince him to publish evidence that could save the lives of a downtrodden minority?

What do you mean no? FINE, don't play my game then.
#TTRPG

On the plus side, statistically speaking you've got another 47 rolls before that happens again...

How about this

Short answer, yes, pretty common. If you're caught up in it then bad luck. Better hope you're rich enough to take the hit or your corporate overlords provide private medical insurance.

Happy April fools day... wisdom saves please 😆

You sound like someone who might enjoy some Call of Cthulhu one shots.

Ah, the dangerous line between theory and drama
