Fully recommend starting with the all-time classic workhorse fonts and branching out from there. Garamond has survived for centuries for a reason. Have a fancy header font as a treat.

Woke up hungover after winning gold at The Ennies for Best Kiss. Anyway, here’s this month’s Explorateur. Only the freshest links from July. Two really fun reviews. My new favorite podcast. And three thoughts on layout from me in the upfront. www.explorersdesign.com/explorateur-...

I wish I had read Clayton's introductory advice 7 years ago. And there are some great posts again this month. Check out the pieces by Valeria Loves and To Be Resolved. Plus, incidental companion pieces about play by Murkdice and myself.

the ennies were never designed (see @explorersdesign.bsky.social for more on this www.explorersdesign.com/ennies-3/) but have been playtested for over 20 years. if tweaks aren’t enough to fix consistent problems, at a point you need to admit your game isn’t for everyone—it favors a specific audience

Possible Worlds Games

industry awards are a net good for the material difference they make in artists’ lives—especially in a culture that doesn’t value creative labor nearly enough—but the persistent voting and logistical issues the ennies face (or invite) each year necessitate change beyond adding or editing categories

Another post thoughtful post from Clayton means another wild take from me: Consider hyperlinking your running page numbers to the table of contents.

Clayton

A short piece on the power of hyperlinks this week. If you're designing for digital and not using them, you're leaving one of your format's greatest strengths on the table. www.explorersdesign.com/how-to-hyper...

Clayton's blog is a treasure trove of resources for RPG creators and this post is no exception.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

As of this week, thanks to industrious adherents of the Worm, there is now roll20 support for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM! If you create a game, you will see the official adventurer's record sheet with automations. If you need help with roll20's native card functionality, drop in to the Worm discord!
