Grenzland 8 recently showed up in my mailbox and is also now downloadable on its’ website (or available as a physical copy if desired).

I created a repository on codeberg collecting free tabletop gaming resources.

This is one of multiple I have been writing for the next issue of the Grenzland zine.

With 50odd sessions under the belt my Glimmermark campaign enters the third year.

Some rules for firearms for my Glimmermark campaign.

I have been tinkering with my own rules for a while now.

I do like random results in my game, especially effects of reaction and morale rolls.

Small houserule I came up with while redoing the my xp awards for my campaign: Attending a church service/religious ceremony of a friendly faith and tithing appropriately to their stature (at least 50gp) gives 50 xp.

I have been playing Red Dead Redemption 2 the last few weeks, which spurred me on (see what I did there!)

It might have been visible in my post from yesterday, but I don’t actually like Oriental Adventures.

Remember those heady days just after Magic: The Gathering came out, when all of a sudden any TTRPG related publisher decided to push out their own trading card game?

I have been thinking of making this table for a while, and right now am working on it for the Grenzland zine.

Y…eah.

Last week we had the 26th session of my Glimmermark Labyrinth Lord game, which makes for a game about every 2 weeks on average since I started in July 2024.

Ok, this is only connected with role-playing games in the most tenuous way possible, but there was a Polish chain of gas stations called D&D which even had a logo that reminded me of old Basic D&D logos.

A recent episode of Retronauts reminded me about the Chicken Stinger (or Chicken Leg, or even Cockatrice although that name sounds wrong), the monster used in both Golden Axe and Altered Beast.

This table was inspired by a quote from Robin D.

Last Thursday we wrapped up the Grenzland Diplomacy play-by-post game we were playing for the last few days.

I currently am running a Labyrinth Lord Open Table every Tuesday at 8.15pm CET for 2 hours on the Grenzland Discord Server.

They say quantity is a quality all on its own, and that certainly fits the artistic output of Johnny Bruck.

So we talked about Drinax and what the UWP implies, but what does life there actually look like on the ground?

Not sure how many people are interested in it considering this is an English-language blog and this is a (largely) German-language campaign newsletter… but anyway, here is issue 2 of Glimmermärkische Zeytungen.

It’s the first time I actually feel the amount of times I played in a year worth mentioning.

J.R.R.

There are no Glimmermark games for the next two weeks.

During my excursions into reaction rolls for Traveller lately I realized that the Traveller book has a template for how to create rumor tables (or just come up with rumors on the fly).
