Bought some new TTRPGs today. The D&D Starters Set because I like starter sets and wanted to see how WotC tackled it. Memento Mori because it looked cool, and some of my favorite Italians (Two Little Mice) were involved. Marvel MRPG because Matt Forbeck.
If you look closely, you’ll notice that the entire thing is printed in different shades of grey. There’s apparently no 100% black or 100% (technically 0% black) white used.
Det gör du rätt i. Det är en skön blandning av gamlingar och kids på Spelkongressen. Alltid roligt med återväxt i hobbyn.
Oh, Free League would probably want me to mention that it’s on Kickstarter now: www.kickstarter.com/projects/119...
(Sorry for the crappy alt-texts. I was sitting in the waiting room at my dentist’s. Will update later.)

So I’m going to do the layout for Free League’s take on Trudvang. Which is extra fun since that was the first TTRPG I laid out back in 2000.
Ja det gör de, och det är troligen tredje lördagen i oktober liksom tidigare år. Troligen.
Nah, it just a run-of-the-mill dragon.
Wildheart is one of four adventures included in the campaign “The Saga of the Black Star.” So, yeah, the original adventures will be remastered for Dragonbane.
Yeah, couldn't agree with you more. Ugly spacing is the worst. I rarely use the default InDesign settings for character and word spacing, or, when setting justified text, even character width (which some designers consider a big no-no). Even in my weirdest layouts and designs, the text is sacred.
Thanks for the kind words. But don't forget Christian Granath, who came up with the actual graphic design of the new Coriolis. I will only take credit for the layout and slightly tweaking the typography.

You're not fooling anyone. I've met you. You're three snotlings in a trenchcoat.
The rest of it is available now.
The Troubleshooters
The Troubleshooters is full of energy and easy going fun. Looking forward to running it over the weekend for the first time. #GROGMEET
Listen to my old friend talk about the culture of Swedish TTRPGs.
Have a great time! Wish I could have gone, but it wasn't in the cards for me this year.
A bunch of laid out TTRPG spreads zoomed out to illegibility.

Three days worth of TTRPG layout grinding.
Woohoo!

Thank you!
I need more TTRPG creators to follow.
What are your favorite writers, designers, and artists here on Bluesky?
Yeah, of course. Spider-like demons and otherworldly entities can keep their mandibles and compound eyes for all I care.
I *think* I have edited out all the “mandibles” in Free League books (sometimes, I don’t even tell them), but a few occurrences of butt-venom had to stay, regrettably.
PSA to all fantasy TTRPG authors:
Spiders do not have mandibles (they have chelicerae). Nor do they have compound eyes (they have “simple eyes,” ocelli). Nor a venomous stinger at the end of their abdomen (that’s where the spinnerets go).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Thanks.
Thank you.
I am, but I mostly do layout and pre-press work.
Yeah, Antonio De Luca really is an amazingly skilled artist.
Thank you. You're very kind.
