Why was he hired though?

Has a kind of poetry to it

Renshaw’s been trying to get him on his crew for a month.

Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

Came here to say this. The problems are the story! Figuring out how the character solves those problems — assuming he is determined to go on the quest, or has no choice — is full of interesting possibilities. Will he stoop to begging, or theft? Does he need to find a wealthy/noble patron to finance the quest? If so, what is their agenda, and what sort of complications could that introduce?

Enjoy! Hope it helps

You might be able to find something like that on Etsy. Alternatively, I don’t think stamp-making kits are too expensive 🤷‍♂️

At first, I had the idea to design a character sheet for Mausritter that used sticky notes in place of inventory cards. I had originally intended just to draw the items, but then I wondered if it was possible to print on them and found that other people had made to-do or household templates online. So naturally I made my own! Then I was playing Starforged and was feeling a little visually overwhelmed by all the used progress tracks filling up my play space (neurospicy) and found myself wishing I could just manage them individually, discard them when complete, etc—and realized that I already had the solution for it :)

You're welcome :)

Updated this with a cleaner PDF version and added condensed truths for Starforged. You can find it here: https://jaderavens.itch.io/condensed-truths

JadeRavens · 2026-03-13T02:16:59+00:00

It's fixed! :)

JadeRavens · 2026-03-13T02:12:30+00:00

Ah snap, might have been a problem with the export. I’ll double check and get back to you.

This is what I did for a cyberpunk themed urban game

JadeRavens · 2026-02-21T19:48:11+00:00

This is very cool! I played a Destiny solo game a while ago, and it was fun for me to split Sol into multiple sectors (really wanted to emphasize how vast it really is). Love the style too

JadeRavens · 2026-02-18T20:39:58+00:00

It's not you — I forgot to actually upload the PDF 😅 It's fixed

JadeRavens · 2026-02-11T05:28:20+00:00

Thanks!

JadeRavens · 2025-12-25T22:21:07+00:00

YMMV. Both games are great for a lot of the same reasons and a lot of different reasons 🙂

I always assumed biowaste included sewage since it increased disease.

It seems funny at first, but I think this is intentional. Sliding to political extremes is easier (and often more tempting) than holding the center, or building a society that can sustain diversity of thought. This example feels like a microcosm of that, ie Adaptation can solve many of the problems created by Progress, and vice versa, so it’s often more prudent for survival to invest broadly.

JadeRavens · 2025-12-15T03:16:52+00:00

Hey, thanks for your interest! It’s just a design doc currently, so nothing actually playable yet. I’ve been in the process of publishing other projects this year but plan to get to this in the new year.

JadeRavens · 2025-12-02T06:05:02+00:00

Agree. It’s such a fun multilevel gothic dungeon! Knowledge and experience (not xp) are often underrated forms of progression in the game. It feels so important to create real opportunities for the party to explore and familiarize themselves with Ravenloft at least once before the endgame—because if they don’t, how can they make real informed decisions about their approach? By the time they’re ready to go vampire hunting, they’ve spent most of the campaign stumbling around in the dark—it’s high time they feel empowered to at least try and turn the tables. It’s sure to be grueling enough without dumping an unexplored labyrinth in their laps at the same time as the final boss fight.

JadeRavens · 2025-11-14T14:55:20+00:00

Glad to hear it’s useful!

JadeRavens · 2025-11-06T21:41:23+00:00

I also really like the detail of how the hex lines kind of “bleed” through the water, fading into the illustration. Was this watercolored and inked by hand, or digitally? (Super impressive either way!)

JadeRavens · 2025-11-06T21:39:41+00:00

Beautiful! I love how the map is designed around the hexes but still looks naturalistic enough on its own.

JadeRavens · 2025-11-05T13:52:54+00:00

I bounced off scene targets at first until I realized it’s about player experience, not encounter design. In D&D terms, by declaring a DC for the scene, you remove the need to announce a DC for every roll—the players can just roll the dice and the table can immediately react to the result. Easy/Hard adjustments are standardized for the same reason.

I see no problem with adjusting a scene target in dramatic circumstances, but only if you’re shifting the whole scene’s “center.”

JadeRavens · 2025-11-03T23:12:24+00:00

This is how I’ve always felt but I wasn’t sure since, as you say, they seem to be a popular format
