European sources from the 18th and 19th centuries describe phenomena occurring during, or as a result of roleplaying, that we might now recognize as bleed. The post Bleed Before it was Cool: Early descriptions of dissimulative pretense, their unintended effects, and their impact on the evolution of roleplaying appeared first on Nordic Larp.| Nordic Larp
I’ve been so busy the last several months, I only just realized I sort of left you hanging with my last post. So to catch you up…The Hearth Magazine launched! It launched later than I w…| dorklordcanada.ca
When you play a role-playing game – you are role-playing. If you’re making decisions for your fictional character, you’re playing a role. This may include speaking in a voice, but…| Aboleth Overlords
I posted a little while ago about my decision to publish a TTRPG magazine starting in 2025. Well, I made the soft launch last week on Bluesky. Gentlebeings, announcing The Hearth Magazine. A bi-monthly digital publication about and for the TTRPG space. It will feature articles and art from around the world, as well as … Continue reading Gather Round The Hearth (Magazine)| Dorklord Canada
A few weeks ago I sort of bullied myself into launching a TTRPG magazine in 2025. In fairness it’s something I’ve had on my mind for years, but it wasn’t until that ill-fated social media post that things sort of gelled around the idea, and it shifted from something I could do to something I … Continue reading Wherefore Magazine?| Dorklord Canada

YELLOW QUEEN Equal parts mystic folklore and flesh, ruler of the Yellow City, smooth-limbed and whisper-voiced, a creamy advanced jaundice complexion and a face hidden behind a brocaded veil to be disposed of on her next wedding night. Summoned by sects and cults to offer her a new groom that they might hear her rattled| Last Gasp
Fiona ran STEAL THE EYES OF YASHOGGHUH again at GenCon and (at least as someone that didn't go) it was the most entertaining thing about GenCon aside from her documentating her search for a temp sissy. I don't have a play report, but I do have screenshots of her google+ updates, and they are glorious. Claire| Last Gasp
Emmy Allen just put up a great post over at Cavegirl's Game Stuff about wounds/not automatically dying at 0HP, you should read it.On a tangent, last year I found time to start thinking about D&D again, and I found that after such a long time without playing at all it really changes/solidifies what you want| Last Gasp
If it's not clear yet, I've been raiding some unfinished tables (and by 'tables' I mean the giant spreadsheets I start putting together like "oh I should make a wilderness travel table... okay so I'll need a table of human encounters and a table of creature encounters and a table for the scenery and a| Last Gasp
In showing a friend some character sheets I realised that I had a couple that I never posted, so here we go: The Glitterchild Monstrosity The first illustrated character sheet I ever made, for a mutagenic Jeremy Duncan game that never actually happened.
