As part of Covert Critic, a sort of Secret Santa for TTRPG designers, I drew Lars Huijbregts, AKA Dice Goblin Games.
So. I'm choosing to do quick capsule reviews of all his free / PWYW stuff. There's a lot of it! I'm going to be going in the order they currently are in his itch.io ... Just click on that link or the one above to see what I'm talking about.
It's time for Secret Santicorn!
I got this prompt: Design downtime mechanics for a large time skip (e.g., 25 years forward): how do you measure if PCs achieve their long-term goals during this period?
This one was fun. My favorite is the random table at the very end.
Google Doc or PDF!

Troika! is a great game. So when I saw there was a Troika! jam, the first thing I thought to do was to combine it with the 1928 jam.
Well, I've joined a ton of itch.io TTRPG jams and it's made me weirdly productive on the gaming front. So, let's talk about the two things I released recently.
So, this little freebie / PWYW game is a solution to a problem: I was in the Hopepunk Jam, and had only 3 hours to go. And I was also in this 24 Word RPG Jam...
So, a 24 word Hopepunk RPG.

Here is TWO random tables written entirely by me, with no help from others. Well, other than the giants whose shoulders I stand on...
In any case, both tables use a d20. The genre is post-apocalyptic. One is for "normal" things you'd find in pockets, and the other is for rare and/or weird things.
So, hey, are you in the market for a free one page science fiction system neutral pointcrawl? Well, you're in luck!

For the first time in five years, I've produced one of my tiny Black Box Books supplements for Swords and Wizardry WhiteBox. It's called Black Box Books Tome Ten: Jungles and Jaguars.
For 98 cents, you get new tables, new monsters (yes, including jaguar stats), a new Fighter subclass / variant, and a new race (a take on jaguarfolk, naturally). As usual, there's a full size version and a tiny, foldable pocketmod included, not to mention a plain text version for your cut and pasting delight.
Oh, and this is my first time using the Mythmere Games AELF license, a replacement for the OGL, for those who care about such things. 😉
As I've mentioned a few times by now, there is a great channel on the OSR Discord server called #dice-democracy where you can crowdsource random tables. I'm presenting tables that I started, now that they're finished.
Therefore, this isn't 100% my work; the people on the server are very creative when it comes to stuff like this. I remain very grateful for them putting up with my ideas for tables.
This should be the last one for a while; I've caught up with all the tables on the server that I've started.
Surreal, maybe whimsical, maybe disturbing, things that can happen to a travelling group in Faerie

Disturbing sounds that one does not want to hear alone in the dark in an English-speaking country in the 19th century, or a setting like that.

I got this prompt: "Characterize a number of different settings - as far apart as you'd like - via equipment tables only. Bonus points the more specific the tables."
I was pleased to get this one, because trying to imply setting with equipment tables is something I want to be able to do, and have experimented with a little already.
So, here I've got two links to two different versions of the same thing. A Google Doc, and a PDF, in case the fonts in the Google Doc don't work for y'all.

This is by far my favorite table that I started, tho.
I wrote this for FORGE, but it works for any OSR game, really. And a few other games besides.
