Here's a little something for Secret Santicorn 2025.
Prompt: Fun diseases and/or curses! You'll be sad once you recover.

I might add more to this list later, but I wanted to get this out before Christmas.
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!

It's time for Secret Santicorn!
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.

Secret Santicore 2017!
Prompt: An encounter table for 1970s New York City, except the genre is space opera and people are just getting used to visiting aliens and future tech.
I have this as a DOCX, but it's prolly easier to just cut and paste it here. Also, in this version I've corrected a couple of errors and tried to make it a little clearer.
