Blogroll May 2025

I don't have any RSS reader on this blog, I also don't have recommendations so I thought I'd make a blogroll from time to time.

Here are posts that caught my eye.

https://seedofworlds.blogspot.com/2025/04/shiny-ttrpg-links-222.html - the blogroll that inspired me to blogroll.

https://spriggans-den.com/2025/04/20/some-insight-into-fitd-action-roll-difficulty/ - yeah, I like Scum and Villainy and FitD games in general so it interests me.

https://idraluna-archives.bearblog.dev/holme-alone/ - I tinkered with myOSR in similar way and I like those ideas in general.

https://carriongodsrpg.bearblog.dev/drakes-wyverns-and-other-false-dragons/ - wyvern ideas. I like wyverns.

https://1pagedungeons.blogspot.com/2025/03/monsters-are-puzzles.html - I love puzzle-monsters.

https://traversefantasy.blogspot.com/2022/06/the-osr-should-die.html - Blogs on Tape podcast recently did the reading of this post.

https://traversefantasy.blogspot.com/p/keystone-readings.html - also worth mentioning.

https://tasker.land/2025/04/22/origins-on-lost-cultures-of-play/ - deep thought, I wonder how many cultures waned with time.

https://mediumsandmessages.bearblog.dev/the-eyes-unclouded-sandbox/ - a sandbox made with Ghibliesque 5e adventures, cool stuff.

POINTCRAWL CORNER:

https://silverarmpress.com/why-i-use-point-crawls-more-than-hex-crawls/ - a pointcrawl find from 2022.

https://widdershinswanderings.bearblog.dev/player-facing-pointcrawl-regional-sandbox/ - elaborate material to build one player facing pointcrawl.

https://unturnedhovel.bearblog.dev/gradient-descent-is-not-a-pointcrawl/ - the post that questions what even is a pointcrawl (I'd like to answer to it some day).

Blogclave Carnival!

Highlights form the Blogclave - I think Warren of Prismatic Wasteland will do the full list of blogcardinals so here are just my favourites:

https://www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/divine-magic-works-in-mysterious-ways - the host also has made a great addition about priestly affairs.

https://dododecahedron.blog/2025/05/06/classless-clerics/ - there are some good ideas here, real stuff.

https://www.mindstormpress.com/biblically-inaccurate-religions - wow, this is some awesome repository of religion, I'm definitely going to use it.

https://elmc.at/kill-clerics-become-warlocks/ - I have the same intuition, just make them clerics 'warlocks'.

https://personabler.blogspot.com/2025/05/a-link-in-great-chain-clerics-in.html - that is a lot of interesting stuff in one post.

https://binarystar.games/posts/original-1746632555-religion-too-good-for-clerics-blogclave-2025/ - I agree, ditch the cleric!

I will also add a little thing about religion https://tabletopcuriositycabinet.blogspot.com/2021/02/religion-socializing-and-gods.html - post from 2021, quite solid guide on religion, check it out.


And we also have currently running RPG Blog Carnival, https://tabletopcuriositycabinet.blogspot.com/2025/05/on-my-word-making-and-breaking-promises.html please check it out and make a blogpost if you have anything to say about Vows, Oaths and Promises.


Also a word for myself - if I want to make this blogroll a thing I'd need to seriously think about noting, saving and gathering the blogposts, right now I'm in total CHAOS.
