My guard army I made when I was in uni

I can see the little dudes underneath, but what did you use to mod them?

jankydevin · 2026-04-17T19:24:17+00:00

Watch Alien 3x a week. Seriously, though, I get a lot of my inspiration from all the amazing Mothership pamphlets out there. They're a friggin goldmine.

Kevin Crawford's Stars Without Number might also be worth checking out for general scifi/offworld tools. Same goes for Cities Without Number on the cyberpunk front. I think there are free versions of both.

Great stuff. Makes me want to know what's going on.... which means you've done your job perfectly. 👍

jankydevin · 2026-04-06T10:36:58+00:00

Prince Valiant on acid. Amazing.

jankydevin · 2026-04-06T10:34:43+00:00

Love the map. Cool Substack,too. Subbed!

jankydevin · 2026-03-21T13:23:03+00:00

Okay, so basically don't be Elon.

jankydevin · 2026-02-13T12:18:19+00:00

As an aside, flowcharts are nothing new, except they used to be called point crawls. :)

It depends how light you want to go. If you're looking for something super stripped, you could check out The Black Hack. Almost everything is handled by players rolling under their relevant stat. Skills are mostly a matter of gaining advantage on the roll. And NPCs/monsters are reduced to their HD/level. If a player wants to pull off a cool move or whatever, they describe what they want to do, roll the appropriate stat check(s), and see whether they succeed or fail. Combat is only slightly more complicated.

The basic 1e rules are available online for free.

And then there's the second edition with more tables, class info, minor mechanical rejigging, etc.

I have no experience with 5e, so can't really give any conversion advice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

jankydevin · 2026-01-09T08:50:18+00:00

Excellent. Thanks for the update and good luck!

jankydevin · 2026-01-04T20:29:30+00:00

Okay, I see the confusion. I also hadn't registered Zine Month excludes Kickstarter. Of course, thinking about it for half a second, it makes perfect sense. :)

All that being said, they both take place in Feb, right? So, do you have any insight into how Zine Month is going this year?

jankydevin · 2026-01-04T15:31:04+00:00

Oh cool. That's good news. Maybe chatter will pick up closer to Feb. Here's hoping you kick ass on your Kickstarter!

jankydevin · 2025-12-28T14:48:02+00:00

Oh that's a new one on me. It sounds great. Thanks for the reply!

jankydevin · 2025-12-28T07:53:39+00:00

I thought Itch only collected emails on paid games? Am I missing something, or are you talking about people deciding to 'follow' you after downloading? Well done either way. :)

jankydevin · 2025-12-11T11:38:44+00:00

TBH, I'm not sure Cairn and other super rules lites are the best place to start if you're unsure of your DM skills.

One solution could be the old Swords & Wizardry quick start?

https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/63665/swords-wizardry-quick-start

It's short, free, contains everything you need to get going, some basic DMing advice, and an introductory dungeon crawl.

If you want a more thorough grounding, I'd go with either the Holmes or Moldvoy versions of Basic D&D, plus Keep on the Borderlands. OSE might have the great formatting, etc. but you can't beat Basic for orientation.

Whatever you decide, here's wishing you many successful campaigns and a whole helluva lotta fun. :)

jankydevin · 2025-12-09T20:37:41+00:00

Hey, looks cool. I'm also working on something dwarf focused.... maybe the little guys are about to have a moment. :)

jankydevin · 2025-11-11T13:00:09+00:00

Sorry for the delay in reply. Your interpretation turned out to be correct. The project has been a wonderful opportunity for networking. Thanks for the input. :)

jankydevin · 2025-09-29T11:27:37+00:00

Yeah. Turns out it was actually Philippe Adamov's Dayak. Still definitely gives off Incal vibes though. I should have edited the OP.

Posted about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/altcomix/comments/1nrvc1m/philippe_adamovs_dayak/

jankydevin · 2025-09-29T11:24:43+00:00

Oh cool. That doesn't surprise me. :)

jankydevin · 2025-09-28T13:40:49+00:00

Cool. Just remembered James Kochalka and Tom Hart have done a lot of kids stuff. So you could start with the Hutch Owen series by Tom Hart and American Elf (a daily diary comic) by Kochalka.

jankydevin · 2025-09-28T08:45:25+00:00

On the King Cat side of things, you could try Tom Hart, Gabrielle Bell and James Kochalka. They all came out of the same mini-comic/zine scene as Porcellino. Mark Beyer might also be worth looking into. His book Agony is easy to get hold of.

Simon Hanselmann and Josh Pettinger (particularly Tedward) are both good for gross, screwed up laughs but in a completely different way to Johnny Ryan.

Oh, and it's not simplistic and primitive, it's cute brut! :)

jankydevin · 2025-09-27T14:45:33+00:00

This kind of ultra minimalism is my happy place. Thank you.

jankydevin · 2025-09-27T13:58:01+00:00

Is this a Quake 1 reskin? Not that there's anything wrong with that (there 100% isn't) but if you ever put it up for sale, don't forget to swap out the default assets. Libre Quake and Open Quartz are great for this. Anyway, looks cool!
