Worlds To-Go the Elysians. Get a lil micro setting that you can seamlessly insert into your games, or just grab the bits you want, as it's all modular and run!

If you'd also rather be playing than prepping, this is for you!

Lovely! I'm very pleased with how this came out. I can say that it's genuinely easier to run games with sheets like this. I've got people who started playing two weeks ago teaching people who started that day. And they're doing it right.

Very vindicating. :)

@mimic @stickydoodler

It's the same as any marketing. Who wants your stuff?

I like the stuff so I post my work on DTRPG because that's where it is sold and then advertise it on the ENworld forums.

I've never found anything on itch by looking, only by being directed there, even if I knew what I was looking for. Itch is very much for the small but enthusiastic market of people who are REALLY into games.

Looking to make a switch from Hasbro products? Want to see what the best, available, direct replacement for D&D is like to play?

You don't want to miss out on this one. Say one thing for EN Publishing, say they do good looking kit!

@healsdata

Would you like 3rd party D&D that's ready to rock? Fully complete, extensive 3rd party support?

homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06

I'm also looking forward to Tales of the Valorant and C7D20 but they're a way off and Pathfinder 2e, paragon of design is very much a different game.

Level Up A5e has massively boosted the amount of content available for upgraded D&D.

a5esrd.com/a5esrd

If you design for D&D then you'll find lots of mechanical support for previous vexing questions. It's so easy, even a schmo like me can do stuff. All about having the right tools. 😀

I like removing bioessentialism from games wherever possible and am very interested in talking about how to make random culture generation, self-scaling magic environments, character sheet design (UX) and making Narrator life as painless as possible.

Also inducting people into roleplaying.

I like having a bit of mechanics and agency in my games and these include:





And a LOT of microgames. Here's my 3rd book cover!

Part I of why I explain why you really should give some thought to your character sheets because they tell your players information that you didn't know you were telling them.

I do have more than 500 followers for reasons that are nor clear to me but I am wonk-esque..

I enjoy Mastodon and my design goals here are:

1. Help people move away from trying to design and run in Hasbro to a system that supports Narrators.

2. Make cool books with gremlin energy and Elf aesthetics.

3. Help people learn how to make their own settings and do their own rules. The clue is in the username!

I also enjoy a lot of RPGs. 😀

And the Tools tab. Everything you might want is there. Or don't. I'm not your mum. ;) You might want to do it the hard way, rather than focusing on plot. You do you!

I decided to run EN Publishing's "To Save a Kingdom" because I heard it had a vampiric dire cave bear and that's 3 prefixes and I love me a good prefix.

The problem with doing stuff for the community is that random people review bomb your work.

Here is drivethrurpg.com/product/44347 which I've had nothing but positive feedback on. It's easy to sink a reputation, so someone has given it a 3* review and that's affected my publisher rating.

I'm not saying give me a good review. I'm saying download, read it and rate as you see fit. I can't improve without feedback, but you know.

A list of my work:

"WOW, this PJ Coffey talks about a lot of unconnected things and boosts a lot of stuff. I'm not interested in all of it. What do I do?"

Well, you have options:
1. You can press on bits of screen until you find the "switch off boosts" button.

2. If I'm off on one. You can mute me for a period of time 1-7 days.

3. You can mute words or #. If you're uninterested in say or then you can switch those to mute.

4. You can make lists of people to follow! It makes a 1/2

@RookAndRasp

Hmm... how about we tag @ttrpg (that tag is @ttrpg @a.gup.pe but without the space) it's a "boost group" which means that it boosts anything it's tagged in.

You like ?
Wanna follow the tag? System specific? There's lots of ways to find people.

Ooh, are a thing as are

That's a lot to follow. And to help people find you remember to use or whatever you like really. 😀
