R.I.P. 🪦 legend.

The world has grown colder today with the passing of Val Kilmer, our beloved Madmartigan. Like the bravest of knights, he fought his battles with courage and wit, leaving behind legends that will never fade. May the spirit of Xayah guide him beyond the shores of Andowyne, where he will forever feast among heroes in the halls of Tir Asleen. Rest well, Swordsman, your adventure continues beyond the veil. Peace and Love to everyone affected!!

Probably doesn't need much of an intro. :)

A perfect example of how encouraging narrative freedom can sometimes backfire in the funniest ways possible. :D

Sometimes the players roll so well that the impossible becomes inevitable. The ludicrous? Canon. The rogue doesn’t hide behind the rock—he becomes the dirt. And somehow, it works. :D

This is from last night's session.

We don’t hate bards. We just… yell their name a lot. 🤣

Well, as long as there were snacks then it was all worth it, right? 🤣

She leans where thresholds rot and burn,
A silhouette where shadows turn—
Eyes like venom, emerald flame,
A curse that dares you speak her name.

No queen, no priest, no saint, no slave,
She carved her power from the grave.
A kiss of ash upon her breath,
A voice that speaks in tongues of death.

She does not knock. She does not wait.
She is the door. She is the fate.
Step through her gaze and find your sin—
She’ll let you out, but not back in.

After a very loud and long spell of tinkering, my 30-year-in-development-RPG system goes into formal playtesting this week. 🥳

Has been a little while. Have decided to put all efforts into getting my 30-year-in-the-making-TTRPG productionised. Here's looking at you.

The Glimmerspring are the mischievous sprites of hidden ponds and shimmering springs, known for their playful spirit and laughter that ripples through still waters. Their eyes sparkle with curiosity and a hint of trouble, while their hair like waterweeds, adorned with delicate blossoms and pond lilies.

The Glimmerspring are legends among villagers who live near their pools, known to lead curious wanderers in dizzying circles or startle unsuspecting travelers with splashes and illusions. They are drawn to joy and light-hearted company, often mimicking and giggling along with visitors, but their whimsy hides a deep loyalty to their ponds. Any who try to harm their home soon find themselves wading through tangling reeds, as even the gentlest waters turn to defend their frolicsome guardians.

Stu's Rule of "Dodging the Stupid Thing":
Always expect your players to do the stupid thing. If you assume they won’t, and they inevitably do, well… that’s kinda on you as the DM. :D

Anyone need a campaign map? :) This is in DALL·E 3. It's been a while since I made some world views and it's interesting to see that the logic has improved.
