Dragon's Teeth (again)

My most recent medium-lite fantasy RPG has a new version posted now. Vaguely 5E related, but with A LOT of modifications.

A week after setting up the DIYRPG instance on Lemmy, I am having a good feeling about it becoming a long term thing where people come to get feedback and share ideas on making custom #ttrpg games and homebrew material.

It's still a bit slow with how very new it is, but there's already considerably more posts and comments than most other RPG and settings communities that I subscribed to.

The best way to support it is to post and comment.

@NerdBurgerCraig Megadungeons and hexcrawls for #OSR or #NSR systems.

Ethan, the other half of Archstone Press, just put up a new post on our blog! He talks about some of the mindset he used in writing an adventure meant to be run as a sandbox (a focus on descriptive vs. prescriptive writing). Check it out on our blog!

Okay, I'm trying to decide which name I like better for the TTRPG I'm developing. Help me decide.

Which works better for the name of a TTRPG based on medieval fighting and low tier fantasy?

My buddy and I have put a lot of thought into our little pet project TTRPG, and it's actually shaping into something I'm quite proud of.
It's gone from silly little rules lite zine to fully fledged game.
I'm actually considering trying to get it published instead of just going with print on demand. Though I have no idea where to even start...

Is anyone running or playing in a Black Sword Hack campaign? I'm just curious how players like advancing in it and what kind of adventures you might be runing. It's one system option I'm considering for the next campaign.

For the #TTRPG designers out there who are good (or at least, decent) at layout: what is something you wish you knew when you were first learning how to do layout?

I’m not sure that RPG creators can go on strike, but they can certainly include them in their adventures. #OSR #NSR #Strike #ttrpg

Here is a play report of my attempt at doing this

Tonight’s #dnd combat has begun with me rolling two 1s in the first two rounds. #osr #nsr #ttrpg #pathfinder 🤷🏻‍♂️

took some procedures from a #NSR blog and made them into #PbtA moves ✌️

I will be playtesting my own heartbreaker #NSR / #DIYElfgame (wink) in an hour for the first time. I'm so pumped, it will be the first time I playtest something I worked a lot on, not the raw-random-rules. It will be also test for my fantasy apocalypse campaign.

Shit gets real!

The posts announcing the opening of the DIYRPG Lemmy instance have gotten 37 boosts and even more favorites. Which makes me feel optimistic that it could become an established and active place for home made RPG material and idea exchange.

Now people just need to start participating. 😉

Activity is what makes people visit such places and what makes them come back again.
