"You have improved," the swordmaster said.

"Thanks to my new sword," said the student.

The swordmaster studied the blade and frowned. "This is enchanted?"

"You know about cursed swords that whisper that you should kill?"

"Yes?"

"This tells me I'm loved and valid."

"Ah. Well. It's not wrong."

Fun Facts:

They were the Investigator, and kept a journal (diary) in a language they invented

Fun fact they super died in the campaign and was reincarnated as a robot with no memories of their life! They got their body back eventually but dang

I have used them for several fiction projects cause I jus like em

Character Sheet Clipping:

These were the moves from their original playbook that they retained throughout the campaign! They like to figure stuff out and read people.

Review Something TTRPG Bundle

Okay, like, here I am going to inflict you with an image.

Now that you have Suffered The Image, this is the deal.

There's a bunch of TTRPGs in this bundle. They are free. You can get them with a click.

If you do, I would like you to review something on itchio.

I and a bunch of other designers all put games in this bundle in the hopes that it would get folks a little bit more visibility, feedback, community engagement, etc on a platform like itch.

It's very easy as a small designer to work on something, release it, and then hear nothing back ever. So we're trying to fight that trend by offering some sweet pay-what-you-want games.

Review Something! TTRPG Bundle: 32 items for $0.00

Thirsty Space Necromancers

So, if I'm reading the room right, folks around here like Lesbians with Swords who are Thirsty, yes? And Tumblr is fairly partial to Tombs that have been Locked?

Okay, good. Because some friends yelled at me the other day for not telling them about this sooner, and I'd rather not repeat the mistake:

Thirsty Space Necromancers by theinstagrahame

A Locked Tomb fan game

(I'm not great at self-promo, is the issue)

Anyway, I made a Thirsty Sword Lesbians hack based on Gideon the Ninth. I avoided most of the stuff in Harrow, because I wanted to keep it fairly spoiler-free, and I left Nona content out altogether because it wasn't out when I made it.

The book contains nine TSL playbooks, one for Cavaliers and one for the Second through Ninth houses. It also includes a puzzle dungeon based on Canaan House (including some made-up puzzles), and a planet generator for spoiler-free games. It probably qualifies as a "hack" because I also changed the names of the stats to be more Necromancer-y.

The book is also free, because it's unrepentantly a fan-game, and I didn't really know how the rights work I wanted to redirect the attention to the original works.

I got to play my game on a charity stream last year, and it was a lot of fun! (In the process, I also found some typos and other changes I wanted to make, but haven't gotten around to...)

I got to play an explode-y goblin from the Fourth House, and my primary goal for the session was to use the Fourth House's special ability: Corpse Bomb.

It was everything I wanted it to be.

It is not an official evil hat server or anything, just GMs, players and those interested in this ttrpg system! There’s an open game of Toxic Sword Lesbians now and I plan to run a Locked Tomb Thirsty Sword Lesbians in July!

TTRPG Character Creation Challenge 2026

During the month of May, I'll make each day a character for different games I like.

20/05

Tian Hu - Branded for Sacrifice

Tian Hu has been "branded" by a powerful being he thought that could save his people, and instead sacrificed them all to gain immortality. Only he survived and now he roams around slaying the demons prowling the planet, and hopes to find his old enemy again to settle the score. He saved from the sacrificial ritual a fragment of a spear that was used against his people, it resonate with his enemy if he's near. The brand that scars his face means (I HOPE) death in Chinese.

Tian Hu is a recurring character from my Hearts of Wulin campaign, but after a full immersion in my Berserk feels and full reading of this manual, he's become the perfect "Branded".

[onlessdev]

What a cool character!
