New #TTRPG thing from me - my first dungeon!

A collaboration with amazing artist Brendan Barnett, “Flee the Flying Saucer!” is a light-hearted A3 “dungeon” in which your characters try to escape a UFO.

An entry in the 1-Page TOONgeon Jam inspired by season two of the #QuinnsQuest podcast #PlayToFindOut, in which the gang played Toon.

"Munich artist Fritz Schwimbeck is best known for his dark, psychological pen and ink images from before 1920. Labeled a Malerpoet (Painter poet) ... [a] description for artists that created visions of pure, primeval imagination. The Malerpoeten championed black and white images because they believed that a lack of color allowed for just enough distance from reality, moving the viewer to create their own subjective understanding"

A brick-built, vaulted cellar. At the back a stair leads up out of sight. From under the stair emerges the legs of an enormous hairy spider, reaching towards a man who recoils away from it. He holds a burning lamp which casts his shadow a long way towards our viewpoint - his shadow on the bare floor takes up the lower half of the image.

I wrote a thing! This is no. 5 of my 'Unexpected Bestiary' articles where I introduce you to wildlife you may not have come across and then speculate on how it could be used in fictions and fantasy worlds.

In this issue, we meet an amphibian that might be escaping Mephistopheles, a bird that sacrificed effective flight for junk food that makes it burp constantly, and what might be the drunkest creature in existence...

A thought on #DnD - style #ttrpg where the player characters can be classified as "professional treasure hunters" either deliberately (they go into dungeons in order to seek treasure) or accidentally (they find treasure while they go into the dungeon for other reasons).

The absurd amount of valuables the player character find has ample precedent in European #folklore (click on the link for a few examples), and indeed, the whole concept of treasure hunting has precedent in the "Magical Treasure Hunting" craze of Early Modern Europe.

However, folk tales are almost always "one-shots" - the person who finds the treasure either gets rich and lives heavily ever after, or they feel regret for the rest of their lives because they missed their one big shot at riches.

In contrast, TTRPG usually feature ongoing campaigns, and thus the PCs will usually delve into "dungeons" and similar treasure-laden sites again and again. So the question the GM - and indeed, anyone who does #worldbuilding for such settings - needs to answer is:

"Why would the player characters continue to risk life and limb even after finding riches?"

What are your thoughts on this?

This cheeky chap is one of my gaming group. He's starting up a FLGS in Macclesfield (back in my old neck of the woods), with website to come soon.

He's a great fella, I've know him since he was a wee lad, and gamed with his dad for decades. He's put loads of effort into this venture and has a wide range of stock (and a lot of knowledge).

Opens on Friday. Please check him out! Better to give your money to Josh, not Jeff!

Boosts okay!
