@duamn.bsky.social comes on to the show to talk about what's cool about Eberron, resisting the siren song of Lore, and more.

Arbor Point Antiquity, my live-text megagame starting this Friday the 16th, has just been put out on itch. The page centralises links to the discord and wiki, and has a bunch of useful resources for making IC documents. Hope to see y'all on the Arbor soon!

Hey everyone! So, I've had my commissions closed for a long time, and life has been bumpy, but I think I may have some time to open 1-2 cover slots, depending on volume and deadline, starting soon. Wouldn't mind some fantasy/ttrpg work. Some samples:

Dying, not Dead. Triggering your preferred game’s “they are unconscious and spend X turns bleeding out” mechanic. Most of the time, in most systems, downed players get that help and live.

Suspect I’ll need to blog about this to fully organize my thoughts, but Violence really reframed my appreciation for misses post-ItO. I think I want either: - 0% / 100% / 0% or - 50% / 25% / 25% But either way, I want a one roll Hit + Dmg oracle.

This is nearly identical to the consequence distribution of rolling 3d10 dmg vs an unarmored target in Mothership, FYI.

one of the big challenges of capital-L Lore in tabletop RPGs is that often getting the lore “correct”—making it tangible for the players—requires a bucket of very careful prep and work, but getting the lore “incorrect”—introducing some element that contradicts the Established Canon—is trivial

You’re right. I really should’ve specified the rate of change of life. The post-bandit-intervention death slope. (QALY2-QALY1) / (T2-T1)
