I've been running a little RPG meetup group for last two years, and it's been going quite well. We've been using Discord and Meetup to schedule events, and the group is growing.

One thing I'd like to do for the group is set something up where GMs could propose games, both one-shots and campaigns, that they'd like to run. Some kind of online site where GMs could explain what they wanted to run, perhaps adding a few links about the game, and what days they'd be available to run something. Also, players could respond with their availability. Perhaps a polling system to see what games have the most interest. This would just be for face-to-face games in our local group.

Neither Discord or Meetup really work for this. Discord messages fade away too quickly and Meetup events are fixed to a particular date and time.

I was thinking of perhaps cobbling together something using Wordpress, but I thought I'd ask around first.

Has anyone done something like this before? Is there a web service already set up for something like this?

Here's a fillable version of the official character sheet for Dicey Tales, the pulp adventure RPG.

It's the same system as Everywhen and Barbarians of Lemuria.

For anyone who wants to try Sprawl Goons, the cyberpunk hack of Tunnel Goons, I've taken the official character sheets and made them fillable. https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2026/05/15/sprawl-goons-fillable-character-sheets-for-a-cyberpunk-rpg/

Completely, I'm afraid.

The Plain of Jars. Thousands of giant stone jars on a plateau in Laos. Many contain bodies. No one is entirely sure who built them or why.

Just got a message from DriveThru - Atomic Ninja, the publisher of Dead End, One-Shot Wonders, and other Savage Worlds material is shutting down.

Apparently we have until May 23rd to download stuff from DriveThru, after which it will disappear.

For land environments, I can't think of any that have been unused, but for aquatic adventures there are a few possibilities:

  • Coral Reefs - a whole maze full of creatures
  • Sargasso Sea - Vast mats of impassible plants containing wrecks, hidden islands, etc.
  • Deep-sea vents - the closest thing we have to an alien environment on earth..

For a character creation game jam, I decided to make a character for Dark Conspiracy, the 1999 action/horror game from GDW.

I had hoped a fillable character sheet was already available, but I was disappointed.

So I've made my own fillable version, available to download here: https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2026/05/05/character-sheet-for-dark-conspiracy/

If you were interested in the DC system and setting, I'd recommend the https://www.darkconspiracytherpg.info/ Dark Conspiracy fan site.

I wanted a fairly clean SW sheet for an upcoming pulp one-shot.

  • It's fillable, including adding a character image.
  • Extra space for the Edges, so I can list their effects.
  • It has a table tent for the second page

Still a WIP, but I'll post the PDF when it's done.

Con Report for TravellerCon/USA (polyhedralnonsense.com)

A quick con report for last weekend's Travellercon/USA

TLDR: I had a lot of fun, great games, wish there had been more people there.

TravellerCon USA 2025 is coming this October 24-26th. It's at the Double Tree hotel in Lancaster, PA.

I missed last year, but I'm definitely going to run something this year.

As far as I know, docking is generally just a simple Pilot roll.

If you're interested at getting a feel for the current version of Traveller, I'd recommend their Explorer version - only $1.00 on DriveThru: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/380244/traveller-explorer-s-edition

You can also try look at the free release of the old 1981 version: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/355200/classic-traveller-facsimile-edition

For my Mongoose 2E campaign, I made my own custom GM screen, with only the stuff I found myself needing on a regular basis. It's 3 landscape pages, designed to be put in a customizable GM screen.

You can download a PDF copy, and the original Affinity files I created it with, here: https://polyhedralnonsense.com/2025/10/09/a-custom-gm-screen-for-traveller/

Zozer recently released a version of their Kosmos 68 setting for Classic Traveller. It's based entirely on old Soviet sci-fi. The new version used the same page design and style as the original LBBs.

I've made a modified version of my Classic Traveller sheets to match this setting. They're fillable and free to download
