Finished a silly NUKED! add-on detailing the Fraternal Order of Vermotologists. Basically Scientology but if they were really into Frank Herbert instead of L. Ron Hubbard and if they were harmless idiots instead of actually rather terrifying.

PWYW on itch, check it out!

Hard agree with most of these points! After running mythic bastionland I realized that what I want is a heroic fantasy osr adjacent game. Players really liked the gambit system that made them feel more powerful.

A digital illustration in very comic book style. At the center is an 80s Punk/Mad Max/Tank Girl-type girl with bright red and yellow rough-cut hair, wearing a red cut up tee, lots of belts and a studded collar and bracelets etc, denim cutoffs over electric blue fishnets, and tall blue combat-type boots. In her hands she has a red chainsaw with a skull decoration on It that she's holding at the ready. There’s a bag slung over her shoulder with the handles of a baseball bat and a machete emerging from the top of it. She is reared back on one foot, having just delivered a tremendous kick to the head of a humanoid robot which is reeling backwards, face half smashed in and turned toward the viewer, arms stretched out, with flames and sparks shooting out of its neck. It's one of those retro-future streamline robot guys that you would maybe see Superman fight in a Fleischer cartoon. Behind on the left you can see from the waist up another such robot which has been dealt with similarly just before. Above and behind all this is jagged red lettering over a jagged yellow outline reading DESTROY next to dimensionalized sans-serif letters reading "A.I." (quotes included) over a 🚫 symbol. Under the reeling robot are some important anti-AI talking points rendered in rough maker-style hand lettering: 'Bad at Everything! Kill the Planet! Brain Atrophy!' I could go on but there's only so much space in one drawing. All of this has been worked up digitally to look like it's a vintage screen printed t-shirt design with cracked and worn plastisol inks. In conclusion, fuck your AI.

A highlight from last night’s Mythic Bastionland game:

The party has found themselves in The Catacombs Hex. They have not encountered this myth at all, so on the fly I’m running the myth as an impromptu dungeon. It’s been great. They now are in the Undead’s Arena, as the king of Bones watches on.

We got some killer art by @hodagrpg.bsky.social, @joeshb.bsky.social, @chaoclypse.bsky.social, and @oldschooljelly.bsky.social and, hey, the adventure itself ain't half bad neither.

I hope you check it out and enjoy some of the biggest, wackiest NUKED! dungeons to date!

@panootsart.bsky.social yo! I made this during the first donkey Kong stream. I’m mostly a vod watcher but I’m excited to see you back Mike.

I can’t take anybody seriously who thinks reading/watching/playing media that involves morally bad characters means you condone that behavior and/or want to perpetrate it yourself in real life. Y’all sound so ridiculous. It’s fiction. 🀦🏼

A skull floats above a set of robes. A hand emerges out of the robes holding a smoking censor, which is emitting wobbly lines throughout the piece.

people don't see artists (musicians, writers, crafters, etc) as laborers and that's the entire problem right there

people are inclined to see creativity as a hobby or downtime activity, you can't make it actual real work, what rights do you possibly want when you're being a slacker with no ambition

That’s been a GMing technique I’ve been using. Taken from story games, I’ll ask leading questions about what things look like, or why they look that way.

I’m lucky to usually have player that β€œYes, and” off of simply described things. Sometimes it leads to unintended stories or significance.

Ex Novo 2nd Edition is live on Kickstarter!

Back now and help us make our city-drawing, dice-rolling, worldbuilding tabletop game (or is it a tool?) the best it ever was.

It really bums me out when a hobby that revolves around creativity and human expression gets excited over statistical madlibs.

I’m way more excited to see scribbled character art and weird ideas than glossed bootleg mtg art and the most boring solution.

Days off mean morning #art!! Some #fantasy and #ttrpg stuff. I’m planning a solo game, but I need to find a dungeon generator that I like.
