Capsule Reviews: Dice Goblin!

 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.

Time Jump!

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.

Spider Children

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.

Hopepunk_24

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.

What's in Their Pockets? (Post-Apocalyptic) d20

 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.

Shameless Plugs: Derelict Transdimensional Anomaly

So, hey, are you in the market for a free one page science fiction system neutral pointcrawl? Well, you're in luck!

https://itch.io/jam/one-page-derelict-jam-2024


This is an entry for the One Page Derelict Jam 2024. It seems that I was so enthusiastic about this jam that I have the first submitted entry...

I'm going to use this blog entry to add some thoughts about the adventure that didn't fit on one page, things I de facto cut because I knew they wouldn't fit.

Potential spoilers!
