Some cool new artwork for Beacon: Koronil from @karagna.bsky.social

Microscope is responsible for one of the coolest and memorable one shots my group had. An underwater civ, an infectious madness spread by song, and at the end, the realization that the living whale colony ships were the perfect vehicle for an infectious song of madness via whale song.

The kickstarter for the new Microscope is live!

I can't wait to see what you make with the new edition

From what I've heard from void saga and operation wild moon, this does not surprise me, haha.

I'm glad that I was able to add what is basically a pokemon trainer class into BEACON. People (me included) sometimes think about how to put pokemon into another game, and the Shadebinder is a good foundation to start with.

Aw man! Im excited to see a 2e. Hope it manages to get there.

A magical tattoo talent for Beacon: Koronil

@pirategonzalez.bsky.socialSep 29, 2026, 4:03 PM

Wait, MOBA styled? I've thought about how to adapt them into ttrpg form before. What parts did you bring over to this format?

@pirategonzalez.bsky.socialSep 28, 2026, 7:47 PM

Because of how open-ended Beacon narrative play is, I was thinking of keeping the item descriptions themselves pretty open ended, but calling out in the 'how to use' section that the GMs can call for skill checks for pushing things too far, or just saying no.

Do you think it would be useful for BEACON to have non-combat, narrative loot? Miscellaneous items and wondrous items for players to find?

Oh yea, good idea!

@pirategonzalez.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 1:52 PM

Trying out some promotional stuff for Beacon: Koronil

@pirategonzalez.bsky.socialSep 24, 2026, 1:49 PM

Koronil! Has a stylized lantern for the 'O', lanterns are the main iconography for the setting.

@pirategonzalez.bsky.socialSep 23, 2026, 4:42 PM

Gods, figuring out ads on Meta is like a minefield, trying to avoid dumb AI 'enhancements' to my stuff.

I just backed NOVA 2 on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I'm back from the hospital with our new baby! Everyone's doing good. In Beacon: Koronil news, here's the Silver Bestial Star, one of the Scourge Stars of Koronil. Its star husks are chimera-like creatures, and its influence makes wild animals more irritable while domestic ones become lethargic.

Whoa, Beacon got a shout out in Cozy RPG Review's video!
