Hyperclusters Stitching cluster design together

Being at GenCon doesn’t stop MurkMail! This week we’re talking are talking about using cluster design to outline entire scenarios murkdice.substack.com/p/hyperclust... #osr #nsr

Animated, 100%!

Symbaroum. The forest is old, but fiercer than ever. Benedict Cumberbatch, Andrew Scott, Olivia Coleman. The big guns.

Very glad I went for the collectors edition of Coriolis The Great Dark. This looks fantastic.

MAC Attack - Sci-Fi Mecha Miniature Wargame MAC Attack: Mobile Armour Colossus. A fast-playing, explosive mecha tabletop wargame, where factions of a fractured humanity fight for dominance on alien new worlds.

Can we get MAC Attack to 1,000 backers in the next few weeks?

#osr #ttrpg

Got my hard copy of @bastionland.bsky.social’s wonderful #ttrpg Mythic Bastionland today. It’s blooming majestic. I’ve been a fan of Chris’ work for a while now and somehow he’s managed to set the bar even higher with this one.

Four comic panels in sequence. 1. A knight stands before the remains of a battlefield. 2. The knight stands on a beach looking out to sea. 3. The knight approaches an island in a row boat. 4. A hand with a black scar.

#ttrpg #art pieces from a cancelled project

Just my Wulfwald boxset from @lostpages.bsky.social. At a quick read it's as good as I had dared hope!

A blue dragon with wings spread above a mantis like demon drawn in red.

Finished up my #GM screen #art. Ready for the culmination of a three year running #ttrpg campaign.

This was a good read, and manages to explain where my own words have failed me why I enjoy the GM being the ‘game world architect’ for #ttrpgs. It’s what drew me to #osr / #nsr stuff.

MurkMail is #45 on Substack’s Rising in Design Chart! This is awesome not just for us but #ttrpg as well
