I know my brain is extra-tired because 100% of my #Hammondal work tonight is about bounty hunters and related communities ... and that is a "brain can barely brain" topic. đ
Fun, though! It's one of those topics where the fantasy/sci-fi/pulp-western versions are built almost entirely on imaginary foundations, which sets it up for interesting design choices.
Lots of related stuff going on in Freegarden.
I sometimes envy the lighter job-set of a supplement city guide (which can build upward from a world already established), and also of city guides that can truly be village guides, because they can presume a narrow PC range.
#Hammondal has neither going on. That means it gets to be _more awesome_ ... but it does mean the climb is steeper. đ It has a lot more jobs to do, on every page.
The earlier guides I admire most walked similarly steep design terrain.
I've submitted my back catalog to the No ICE in Minnesota bundle.
Other #ttrpg designers looking for a way to be supportive might consider doing the same.

Im prepping to run my TTRPG at Polar Vortex in February and I have been working on getting a website put together. Have to say I am pretty proud of how it is turning out so far. Intentionally going for a early 2000's geocities vibe. Hosting this over on neocities.org. Hand coded in static html files. Just need to get the DNS for the domain setup in the next day or so.#ttrpg #ttrpgdesign #osr #NSR

Minotaur roles arenât careersâtheyâre recognized ways of being useful.
Fixers. Scouts. Drivers. Rig Doctors. Guardians. Channelers. Rockers.
Authority comes from competence under pressure, not volume. Thatâs why the culture holds when things answer back.

Eu sou o doido das mecùnicas de rpg, né? Aà um criaturo me manda um sistema e diz assim: 'narrei uma aventura com ele, mas meio no foda-se', então eu pergunto 'como assim?'
E ele responde desse jeito (ipsis litteris):
dei uma lida nas regras mas nĂŁo segui elas kkkâ:clo:â
o jogo Ă© simples e por isso nĂŁo usei as mecanicas
foi conversa -> obstĂĄculo -> teste -> coerĂȘncia na ficção

So I am nearing all playtest status for my TTRPG. I hope to bring this to Vortex Con here in Illinois in February. Sneak peak of the playlets documents.
Imagery is public domain work from an HP Lovecraft story that I felt fit so well. #ttrpg #ttrpgdesign
As #Hammondal develops it becomes increasingly asymmetrical in design. Same thing happens to all my books yet it surprises me a little each time. đ
Like, each neighborhood is still a chapter. But the shape of each chapter is increasingly unrelated to how other chapters are structured.
A good sign. Symmetry is never my friend.

#ttrpg and #ttrpgdesign community. If you are using .PDF of play documents, what is the most functional page size? Letter? A4? Does page size matter to you?
How many of you are printing files up still and do you have a preferred page size there? Are A5/Half page more appealing for zine style?
