The knight who the squire killed has a named sword, fancy armor and a warhorse more expensive than a house who might be more cruel than the knight was.

There is a lost shrine to a hierarchical saint that gives the Breggle Longhorns power over those with shorter horns.

You are going to find it and destroy it, ending this nonsense.

A band of squires who just killed their knight who was, by all accounts, a total asshole.

Now what?

You are academics, scholars and scribes from outside of Dolmenwood, who have read about this area and even written papers about these plucky forest folk and the fell powers that slumber here.

Now it is time for a decade of fieldwork...

Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has me eager to run a game about a Breggle Hedge Knight navigating the noble houses, seeking their fortune.

You are a part of a noble house that had strong ties to the Autumnal Lady. As such your ancestors wanted nothing to do with the Cold Prince, nor the Dukes of Dolmenwood who fought the winter elves.

And now you are back to claim your family's ruins in the Rosewood Highlands...

Daydreaming about Dolmenwood.

A thread in which I think about ways to start Dolmenwood games...

Robin Hood - you know the road where the taxes come in to Castle Brackenwold.

Wait and ambush...

My dudes, buy this

Then bug me and we'll play Apocalypse Frame #TTRPG, who doesn't love post-apocalyptic #Mecha action vs a tyrannical government?

I can see and hear Vincent cussing at his computer and shaking his head in response to this response.

They did indeed take the sky from you.

An illustration of a grey skinned elf girl in Celtic clothing holding a spear and leaning against a gnarly tree. On the other side there’s a skull with a Celtic chieftain helmet and a sword with an open eye in the hilt. Behind the elf and the sword is a Byzantine styled circle with their names: Iselin Spearmaiden and cursed Cynwrig

I tried to take a different approach on my usual character art with this piece.
Kind of happy with the tree and general vibes

a screenshot of a video game shows a fish in the center of a room Alt: A video from Hardspace Shipbreaker - a first person view of a gravity tether shooting an office chair into the furnace, and a spacesuit-gloved hand coming into screen to give a thumbs up.

Pitch for the new Hardspace Shipbreaker game that's in the works:

You've bought your way to Mars, and you're not just disassembling ships.

You're taking apart the dumbass half-completed never-finished megastructure vanity projects of space billionaires.

Hardspace Shipbreaker is wonderful, and about something, and offers near-limitless potential for future games to build on what they did.

I *love* the "tidying up" genre, and this is my version of Powerwash Simulator or anything similar.

I think that costume was first in Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing when Swamp Thing went on a planet-hopping adventure.

How I arrived on Bluesky:

Growing patreon membership is tough.

If you were to join a Patreon, why is that?
What are you looking for?
How much are you expecting?
What directions should the creator be going?

I just printed out a game called Beetle Knight that might be cool for that age group.

Carved from Brindlewood with young, chaotic players...interesting.

As a player, I had fun.

TOP PIC: Screenshot from Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Sir Arlan of Pennytree saying, "a true knight always finishes a story," sitting against a tree, horses and green hills behind him. BOTTOM PIC: South Park version of George R.R. Martin with his hands up, in his office saying in meme lettering, WTF, THAT IS A CHEAP SHOT, GUYS.

I have gotten everything out of Game of Thrones that I could ever want and wish no shade on GRRM for finishing Winds of Winter or not (GoT was the vehicle with which I introduced my dad to gaming).

But when I saw this scene...

Role-playing games on a library shelf.

In the Dewey Decimal System, probably used at your public library, role-playing games can most likely be found at 793.93.

Ok we doing this.

Fuck yeah Beetle Knight
