It's been a while, eh? I think I'm going to start using the term 'infrequent' for this blog, though I don't think it's ever been anything...

Through 2024, I'm writing an encounter / event prompt every day. I like 365 projects, last year I took part in #Dungeon23 and created...

Omens are a funny thing, when you get down to it. In 'actual life', there is a rich history of divining the risks and rewards in the...

How weird is your game? How weird would you like your game to be? Do you suffer from weirdness-creep? These thoughts and others have been...

When I first started writing Treasured Posessions (TP), it was a TTRPG, not a solo game at all. At some point, I spun off the original...

What if I said I was going to be somewhere, a cafe or whatever and that I was going to run a game? What if I didn't try to find people to...

I've been playing catch up with myself - I got behind on my #dungeon23 locations and then hit a bit of a wall and wrote ...nothing... for...

It turns out that the last post I wrote (in March) never got published. I hadn't finished it and got distracted with other things....

I haven't added lions into NineTenths yet, but I think it's just a matter of time. Lions are pretty cool, aren't they? What I have been...

I've ended up doing two things for #dungeon23 - a conventional megadungeon, creating one are per week with a different theme and also...

Play testing is important. Why? Well, you might have made some broken thing that doesn't work. Or it might be balanced but boring....

I'm giving up on the 'Making RPGs in public' thing, as the fact that it's here and you can read about it sort of gives the game away....

Maps, map, maps, maps, maps. I think I've realised a flaw in my personality. Or a "character trait", if we're being charitable. Hmm. When...

I can't write quickly. Or at least, I can't write things I'm happy with quickly. It seems like my style of working is to have an idea,...

So, I got distracted by thinking about room tiles. I'm not even sure why or how that started. Before I knew it, I'd drawn a page of rooms...

Unexpectedly, we've had a couple of days off, and today I got some time to have a good look at what I'd written so far for the game. I...

Oh, but it's been a while, eh? Where does all that time (a whole month and then some) go? Well, there's been a lot of plumbing, the house...

After many years of playing role playing games and board games, and a long time since I last ran a game for anyone, I find myself running...

The first thing I've published, the first time I've used itch.io and so I'm a little excited! It all grew out of our game, and realising...

I just realised one of the things that I'm really loving about Mausritter. Because the setting is based on the actual world sort of, it...
