I spent part of the weekend checking in on the Duskbloods network test this weekend (Fromsofts upcoming switch exclusive multiplayer game) I found myself really activated by the fact that the scoring system is directly inspired by board games like 7 Wonders and Waterdeep.
If that sounds fun give it a look. This is meant to be a crew your table could play as a campaign but it should be equally enjoyable pick up for one memorable season. Keep your wits about you, stick to your guns, and run, rat, run!
I released Runaways, a custom crew for Blades '68 by @olddog.games and @evilhat.bsky.social Now free on itch. moth-lands.itch.io/runnaways
I really loved this bit of flavorful (pardon the pun) advice for GMs and as a frequent Blades GM I really find it to ring true.
It’s finally in my hands! Tim and Evil hat have really done something special with this book and it’s truly impressive how a simple change in setting or tone can make John’s original ideas sparkle.
I've even added bonus pdf featuring a rolodex of 8 custom factions centering sports, art, and leisure. I call it ... Leisure and Lace. Use it to inspire your contender's craft, inform your campaign, or as fodder for indulging your scoundrel's vice.
Excited for Blades 68? Enjoy a teaser of some of the custom content I’m working on.
I started work on a playbook the day the full pdf was released and was initially intimidated by the new material. Recognizing that use of overlap gave me a lot of confidence, the realization that I didn't create something wholly unique. and now I'm having a lot of fun.
If the ideas I came up with continue to draw my players' attention, I plan on publishing it as a starting scenario for others to enjoy. For now I'm content just to play.
Characters, locations, factions, and pretty much every other element of Realis are defined by sentences. Sentences like, "I always hear the future coming," Or, "I always have a friend among those that fly." With these sentences, players can do pretty much anything ...
I ran my first session of #Realis last night and I thought I'd share some of my thoughts about it! Realis is the debut tabletop rpg of Austin Walker and produced by Possible World Games. The game's setting and theme are extremely broad w/o being generic, something I'll briefly expand upon.
Been working away at designing a custom character for #SlayTheSpire2 and I think I've landed on a fun art style.
I think I’ve nailed down my Slay the Spire character concept. Now to figure out the modding situation!
Entertaining myself by designing a Slay the Spire OC. This little freak is a healer and mystic who harnesses the very infestation that is eating him alive.
Super impressed by the first season of Sentenced to Be a Hero. If, like me, you felt JJK lacked severely in the writing department, I think you’ll find that Sentenced punches far above its weight in that regard.!
Starting to believe my own conspiracy that the unknown character depicted in these Slay the Spire 2 curse cards, a card subset that almost universal depicts player characters, is some sort of shapeshifter character they’ve yet to introduce.
My housemate and I watch the hot new anime together on their time off. When we started “Sentenced to be a Hero” we were initially skeptical but each episode has won us over. Key pluses: 1. Cool dark fantasy premise 2. Good character development 3. It doesn’t commit the sin of over explanation
Cairn is a beautiful, if melancholic, game. At every point it tells you to slow down, be cautious. To take in your surroundings. But then the impatience slips through. The eagerness to push yourself. To let the adrenaline seep in and wash away your anxieties. And that’s when you’ll fall.
My partner demands I tell people I started doing pixel art less than two weeks ago
Absolum, by @dotemu.bsky.social has such great comic style. I can’t help but imagine a Headlopper game by them.
Putting together a poster for my next film night double feature. This time our co-hosts have chosen Paprika and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Played around with he character creator in Elden Ring and Mocked up one of my own custom Nightfarers using the template! #eldenring #nightreign
Because I can’t help myself I created a little template for people to create their own Nightfarers for Elden Ring: Nightreign. You can use the blank image, below, or find a fully functional affinity suite file on my itch page. moth-lands.itch.io/nightfarers #eldenring #nightreign
