I think I've got at least a rough cover image for my entry into the #AppendixNJam this month. I've started layout as well, but I really need the maps before I get too far with arranging text. Whee! #RPG #TTRPG #AmArting

A photo of a Celtic tomb entrance into a hillside, washed a pale green with a red spot over the square entrance, and purple text reading "The Tomb Tappers" above and below.

For the first time in years, I made it to my FLGS for #FreeRPGDay and snagged a bagful.

My kid makes some kickass art. Yes, I'm breaking the "Make It Myself" design principle for Bolthaven Folios, but I actually wrote the first draft of this one 7 years ago. Stay tuned for Bolthaven Folio #4: On Our Honour, coming soon! #TTRPG

My hand holds a draft copy of Bolthaven Folio #4 over a dark brown table top. A line drawing of a running Space Marine stands out in the lower-right corner of the zine's cover page.

I spent today finding no appropriate job listings that I haven't already applied for, and failing to write a blurb for Tabula Mortis. But I trimmed down a cover shot to work as an itch screenshot, so that's progress. Tomorrow beckons. #TTRPG #TableJam26

A cropped, greyscale photo of a printed trifold copy of Tabula Mortis, coming soon.

T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)@twwombat· Apr 25

Here's an interior shot of the one with rounded corners, if that sways you at all one way or the other.

A photo of the interior spread of the trifold Tabula Mortis, featuring rounded corners. An etching of a reclining skeleton sits near the top of the middle section, and 4 random tables are at least partly visible, along with several short sections of text.

T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)@twwombat· Apr 25

I printed a couple of test copies of Tabula Mortis, and I need an opinion. Rounded or square corners for a trifold pamphlet printed on cardstock? Why? #TTRPG #TableJam26

Two physical copies of Tabula Mortis, fanned out. The top copy has its corners rounded, while the bottom copy retains square, unaltered corners.

T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)@twwombat· Apr 22

I just finished Tabula Mortis, a trifold collection of random tables intended to help you detail grisly scenes for your party to investigate. It's in my advance readers' hands, so it should be live in a few days. Stay tuned if you want to grab a copy. #TTRPG

This morning, I had an 8-page doc crammed full of notes and ideas. Now I have a laid-out draft of Bolthaven Folio #3. It still needs some work, but I'm much more confident about publishing this stripped-down settlement system this month. #ZiMo #TTRPG

Classic Traveller character of the year for 2026: Evan Chandra breezed through his early education. He joined the Navy and tried to stay under the radar. In his 3rd term, he learned computers and created a fake supply company. He gave most of the money back and was asked to leave. #Traveller

The northern lights are out tonight here in Central MA.

Spectacular. I'm reminded of the Hello Kitty 40K image from years back.

T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)@twwombat· Sep 23

I stayed up way too late last night, but I finished the first draft text and layout for Bolthaven Folio #2. It's all about Bard Bands performing, taking more time to make bigger magic. I've got some art to make and some editing to do.

A draft copy of Bolthaven Folio #2: Bard Bands. Hoo boy, it needs an edit.

Sage record sheets for Historia Obscura are now available for download with over 4.5 hours to spare in the Jam. Woo! Here's a picture of a 3-player game ready to run. You'll also need a d8 and d12 if you're using the random tables. twwombat.itch.io/historia-obs... #1pRPGJam #TTRPG

A dark wood-grained tabletop containing a tri-folded copy of Historia Obscura printed on parchment card stock, a pile of index cards with a pen, and three Sage record sheets with 2 dice each and matching colored tokens. We're ready to go for a 3-player session.

OK, that's better. I've got 2 panels to fill over the next 2 days. Anyone have a source for B&W book & quill pen filler art? #TTRPG

The cover for an upcoming one-page trifold TTRPG called Historia Obscura. Now without text disappearing into non-printable margin spaces.

T.W.Wombat (aka Jim White)@twwombat· Aug 15

First test print. Needs slightly larger margins.

Without downloading new pics where are you mentally?

Sidewalk at night with a half-dozen people dressed up as Beaker and another as dressed as Goth Beaker. One Beaker points at the camera as a serving Beaker rushes the camera. The caption reads:
-Pack of Beakers
-Goth Beaker
-The Beaker snitching and pointing out the photographer
-The Beaker that's about to unload on the photographer
-The terminator strut before the ass whooping and you know he's moving at speed because of the blur
-The ominous feeling that you know this is 3 in the morning

In cheerier news, I've gotten great feedback from my early readers. Bolthaven Folio #1 will be available later this month. Take a look if you want some randomness injected into your magic items (or high-tech tinkering). It also includes a table-driven name generator for components. #TTRPG #Zines

I got 2 art pieces done tonight, including "KRAA-THOOM!" Hat tip to Adam West's Batman for the inspiration. I've got 3 more to go, and one of those should be quick. #AmDrawing

Spent some time moving my little zine project into Affinity. Had a few headaches, but the text is done, and the tables just about fit inside the margins. Otherwise we're looking good. Now I get to hack together more art and get some early readers to look at it. #TTRPG #Zine #AmMaking

A plain paper draft of a forthcoming TTRPG zine called Bolthaven Folio #1 Forge & Fate lies on a marbled black countertop.

I wonder where Minerva is? #CatsOfBlueSky #Caturday #TimelineCleanse

An off-white curtain drapes over a tattered brown towel covering a bench cushion in a tight shot. Between the two, a grey and orange cat paw pushes through, claws partially extended as if grabbing the towel in case gravity stops working for some reason.

I'm heading out to #PAXEast tomorrow morning for the weekend. All you #TTRPG siblings, sound off if I'll see you there!

I just spent a therapeutic hour at my FLGS and walked out with a tarot-powered solo RPG treasure.

The boys are enthralled by the back hoe outside. Minerva has already moved on.
