#ttrpg#worldbuiding tip: If you want to get some inspiration, get "The Dictionary of Imaginary Places" - a guidebook to fantastic locations from world literature. You'll be sure to find something interesting to put into your own settings!
Looking for a place to discuss your most recent campaign? Consider checking out the new Lemmy instance dedicated to all things table-top RPG over at: https://ttrpg.network
The best part is you can participate from your existing fediverse account. Communities on Lemmy can be followed like users and have similar functionality to other fediverse groups!
Getting illustrations and formatting completed for a rules-lite game about Illuminati inquisitors fighting off the collapse of time and space in Earth's hollow core.
Text has been playtested and is more-or-less set. A website, blog, and newsletter are a couple weeks from getting published. And a Kickstarter should go up in the coming months.

did a lil something for my half-orc monk i'm playing in a 5e game. they got a new outfit recently so that was the catalyst for this character ref thingy.
It was a very interesting journey. For fans of Vampire: The Masquerade and Vampire: The Dark Ages, this is a novel that brings some very cool things, such as the crusade of Latins and Franks who invade Constantinople in the 13th century and end up putting several wheels of fate in motion (This is Medieval History, not spoilers). @bookstodon#vtm#vampirethedarkages#ttrpg#vampirethemasquerade#books#reading
@bookstodon I can’t say it’s a great work of fiction and fantasy, but it’s engaging. I feel that those who do not know the aforementioned RPGs will not be able to fully understand everything that is happening in this novel (which is a flaw, in my opinion). #vampirethemasquerade#vampirethedarkages#vtm#ttrpg#books#reading

Delta Green because I like the bonds mechanic & Blades in the Dark.
Mostly I go for settings rather than rules. I used to buy gurps sourcebooks, but use the basic role playing rules booklet that came with the old Runequest/Cthulhu boxes.
BRP rules can be adapted to pretty much anything, and it's great for first timers coz everyone understands having a % chance to do stuff.
What I don't like is spending half the session looking up specific rules spread over half a dozen books.

Late to the party, but a mythology-themed series of books I really enjoy is the #Scion#ttrpg line.
This setting takes place in a variant of the modern world - but the faiths of old have never gone away completely. And while the Gods have some excellent reasons to be discreet when acting in the world, the activities of the supernatural are still common enough if you know where to find them.
The default assumption is that the player characters are young descendants of the gods - the titular Scions - who gradually become aware of their heritage, and then try to fulfill their destiny.
I am currently running a Scion campaign that is heavily inspired by German folklore, and it's a lot of fun!
@juergen_hubert@Tim_Eagon@germany@folklore and I will read it. I am a sucker for folklore. Reading Italio Calvino's collection of Italian folklore in middle school heavily influenced my approach to #ttrpg GMing and storytelling, and every time I read more from other cultures my m fantasy worlds become richer
