I've been meaning to make an updated version of this for a while so here it is, every numerically-balanced d20 layout!
Feel free to share, especially with any dice makers you think may be interested!
There is a more detailed explanation video by @henryseg for The Dice Lab (which use layout C, if you're curious!) https://youtu.be/Nh2H_4g6evc
Tentando voltar a desenhar com mais frequência! Um sketch pra tirar a ferrugem.
e agora sair do PC, pq as dores estão chegando 
RPG é caro porque rpgista gosta de papel
Estou num grupo de um coletivo de rpg da minha cidade e sempre bato na tecla que os livros de rpg são muito caro e poderiam ser mais baratos.
Nenhum livro básico de sistema sai por menos de 150 reais hoje em dia.
Dá para baratear? Dá.
Tem gente que argumenta que precisa pagar o autor, o diagramador, as ilustrações etc. E sim, tem que pagar todo mundo.
Mas experimenta parar de usar capa dura. Usar outro papel que não couché. Invés de ter 256 cores que nem a porra de um teclado gamer, ser preto e branco (ou pelo menos ter uma cor de destaque só).
A galera gosta de pagar para ter um item de luxo. E pasmem: itens de luxo são caros.
Só que livros de rpg não precisam ser itens de luxo. Acontece que até autores independentes caem nessa cilada e se frustram das dificuldades de lançar um jogo.
Sendo que eles mesmos se enredaram em publicar um impresso difícil de ser executado e caro.
Tem que começar o design do produto desde o começo visando materiais mais baratos. Veja: mais baratos, não materiais ruins. Com esmero dá pra fazer livros de ótima qualidade sem ser de luxo.

finished reading Outgunned: Corebook 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Uma premissa de mecânica MUITO legal! Tirar dados iguais, fazendo pares, trincas, quartetos ou mais!
Um RPG focado em jogos de ação que os personagens são estilo Duro de Matar: vão explodir coisas, pular de veículos em movimento, atirar em coisas, lutar até o punho ficar esfolado e precisarão apenas respirar fundo antes de continuar.
Sinceramente, é um forte concorrente ao posto que o Savage Worlds tinha na minha listinha aqui: sendo mais simples, mais rápido e potencialmente mais furioso hahaha
É o segundo jogo italiano que leio que tem mecânicas muito elegantes. Estou adaptando uma aventura que fiz para Savage Worlds para testá-lo em mesa. Com sorte, até o fim do ano já vai dar bom! Daí venho fazer uma resenha mais completa.
Como a galera do coletivo de rpg que faço parte demonstrou interesse em jogar Mago O Despertar usando outro sistema, vou botar pra frente a ideia da aventura pointcrawl que tava querendo fazer.
Daí com a lembrança do @caparica que tarô é ótimo para estabelecer narrativas, lembrei que Mago tem um suplemento do tarô para criar aventuras e personagens.
Tô fazendo uma planilha cartomante, uma versão pobre da @madameSandra kkkkk um gerador de números aleatórios pra sortear as cartas, outra pra sortear se a leitura é direta ou inversa; uns menus suspensos pra escolher se é uma aventura ou um personagem, já que isso muda o significado das posições das cartas e um belo PROCV pra puxar o significado da carta.
Já alimentei os arcanos maiores, faltam só os menores.
Daí devo criar o plot central da aventura, seus mistérios e os npcs pra povoar os locais 
Estou armando um canhão para matar um limite? Sim, mas não vou passar vontade kkkkk

Uma amiga minha contratou um artista pra fazer uma pintura do nosso grupo de RPG, como homenagem ao nosso amigo que faleceu, que era o Mestre do Jogo. Depois do fato trágico, não jogamos mais, e as pessoas do grupo acabaram se mudando pra outras cidades e países.
Hoje fiquei surpreso que acabei esbarrando com uma postagem do artista em um grupo de evento de RPG daqui de Brasília. Não fazia ideia que ele era daqui. Ele retratou nossos personagens com a nossa aparência, então foi bastante inesperado me ver de repente no grupo hehe
Mando o quadro em anexo, e o instagram do artista, caso alguém tenha interesse

Alias, estou iniciando um hub de shadowrun. Quinta edição, focado em Metrópole (que era o Brasil) numa versão modificada por mim, focada em hooding.
Quem quiser narrar está duplamente convidado:

(E pra quem não sabe, hooding é tipo um runner com uma causa social, eles são mais focados no que eles fazem do que na recompensa)

Dice by PCalc 2.8 is out now (finally)!
This release of my #ttrpg dice rolling app adds support for iOS 18 and macOS 15, including Control Center buttons for quick rolling, and dark and tinted icons.
As well as four new themes, there’s also a new picker which makes it easier to see all the visual options for dice in one place.
RPG tip from the archive: Build wilderness encounters from the environment, a fantastic feature, interesting monsters or NPCs, and weather.
RPG tip from the archive: Instead of a random encounter, plan out a fun one-battle side adventure to throw into your game at the right moment.
RPG tip from the archive: Warn characters when it looks like they're about to bite off more than they can chew. The players may not be getting the more subtle warning signs.
Campaign generation by randomized GURPS sourcebook
This table was inspired by a quote from Robin D. Laws’ saying
When in doubt, blindfold yourself, take any two GURPS sourcebooks off the shelf at random, and combine the results.
Ok, this is a bit pointless but also… not. I mean, who has a d140 anyway? Or in fact even so many GURPS books? But I wanted to list all the GURPS books, excluding some of the sub-books for different lines, no matter how good they are (so e.g. no Discworld Also, and none of the Traveller supplements EXCEPT Interstellar Wars, which is a distinct enough setting in my book).
I bet I missed some.
So what is it? Just a list of all GURPS sourcebooks except the most mechanical.
I’ve been thinking of adding some quality fan-made books as well, which are floating around the net. I bet one could get some good stuff out of those as well.
I never really cared for GURPS as a rule system, but I always love using their sourcebooks as a starting point to work out ideas for my own games. And most of the stuff is indeed so generic that I can easily rework things into DnD, Traveller, Shadowrun, or what have you. So take a d140 (sigh, or go to a website that does it for you) and roll up your next campaign.

"Medieval Fantasy Tables" is a tool for solo (or coop) tabletop roleplaying games, though it can also serve as a general GM tool. 2 pages full of tables to generate different elements for medieval fantasy adventures, such as creatures, places, spells, etc.
🇨🇦Introduction Appendix 4: Because apparently I cannot have enough projects to work on, here's another. This one is a tabletop roleplaying game called SpaceCraft. It's a "universal" or setting agnostic rpg system with a bias towards science fiction. For example, you can run a fantasy game fine with it, you just have to ignore the rules about space travel, and robots, and computers, and nanotech, etc.
"So why not put those things into a separate book, like GURPS?" Mostly because I don't want to. I know that'll hurt the marketability, but I don't have high hopes for this game making any money anyway. I'll probably have to end up releasing it for free, which honestly would be my preference anyway, if I wasn't so damn poor, so I at least gotta give it a shot. Unless things change for me dramatically before I finish it. Who knows? I'll probably try an alternate way of setting it up just to see how it looks and decide for sure then.
So why make this system at all? Basically it's a story much like the one behind my novel (see Intro Appendix 3): I've done plenty of house-rules over the years, but never my own system. So one day, as a mere intellectual exercise to pass some time, I started thinking about what a game would look like if I designed it from scratch. And just like with my novel, it was like breaking a dam of ideas that just wouldn't quit. I've since fallen in love with what I have and deeply desire to at least see it finished, even if no one else ends up liking it.
So what's so good about it? Well, as the years go by and my experience with both playing and running games grew, I started increasingly making house rules for the games I played. It was a sort of exponential progression, only little bits here and there at first, filling in gaps that the rules didn't cover, but later progressed to improving some of the more egregious problems in the games. I started to notice that I was good at it, and even more that I liked it. It was like my brain is somehow optimized for turning abstract aspects of life into playable game mechanics.
But this isn't supposed to be about me. My point is that game mechanics have progressed over the years, and while there is a great deal of subjectivity in the community concerning them, there are some things that are just objectively better (or worse) than others. As I started getting more comfortable with modifying the games I played, I also became less tolerant of what I considered "bad rules". So basically this game is my attempt to make the best game possible, from a game mechanics point of view. Yes, that does make the game somewhat "rules heavy", but I've kept that complaint in mind from the beginning, and have taken several steps to help alleviate any such problems.
