WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT

"Take a Homestuck quiz? I'd rather be peer pressured into heroin."

"take a hOMESTUCK-"

for a second and jumpscared me

Geomorphic dungeon tutorial

Geomorphs are essentially little bits of dungeon that fit together in any orientation, and they're probably one of the most fun things I've ever messed around with when it comes to TTRPG mapping.

They're great to make when the blank page seems too intimidatong because a little 10x10 bit of a dungeon is a smaller commitment than a full dungeon, you can make them in a couple minutes, and if you get into the habit of drawing one or two every once in a while you'll soon build up a big library you can use to make dungeons of any size.

So here's how to make 'em.

Draw a 10 by 10 square. Place entrances on the 3rd and 8th square of every side

(You can actually do any size as long as all entrances are the same distance from the corner)

Draw a bit of a dungeon however you want. Not all entrances need to be accessible from each other, some can even be dead ends.

Optionally, draw some 5x10 and 5x5 ones to close off edges and corners.

Draw a lot of them

When you have a full page, cut them

(I store mine in ziploc bags to avoid losing them)

Assemble them! If you placed the entrances correctly, they should fit together no matter how you place them or rotate them.

You can ever stagger them like bricks

Then, transfer it to a more permanent medium (redraw it or just take a picture)

Here are some more examples of dungeons I've made using my geomorph set:

Did not expect this kind of lore from NASA’s first tabletop game

From Hubble to dragons and even magic

From the article:

NASA has released a free, original tabletop role-playing game, and it’s one part educational experience and another part sci-fi/fantasy epic with magic and dragons. The crux of The Lost Universe, the organization’s first TTRPG,involves a mystery: What would happen if the Hubble Space Telescope disappeared? It’s a simple premise and one that hides the complex backstory underscoring the events of the role-playing game. Without getting into the weeds, the game takes place on a planet called Exlaris, which was once thrown into chaos when a black hole moved too close and kicked it out of its orbit. The planet has since gone back to some degree of normalcy and is now almost completely dedicated to academia. In one city, a scholar named Eirik Hazn made a spell to connect with Earth to study the Hubble Space Telescope, which has famously collected data on black holes. However, the spell and telescope are stolen by a dragon, and researchers working on the project have been disappearing, so the players — Earthlings who worked on the telescope at NASA who were brought through a portal to Exlaris — have to save the day. The official 44-page gameplay book is available to download for free on NASA’s website. You can play it in a party with 4-7 players, but you may need to fudge a few things to graft this narrative onto your TTRPG system of choice. The book says it’ll take around 3-4 hours to get through the adventure.
