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.

Underused Biomes for RPGs by nortonglover in c/rpg@ttrpg.network

[-] nortonglover@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 days ago

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..

Fillable Character sheet for Dark Conspiracy (ttrpg.network)

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.

My custom SW character sheet - wtill a WIP (thelemmy.club)

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.

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.

My custom Mongoose Traveller GM screen by nortonglover in c/Traveller@ttrpg.network

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/

cross-posted from: https://ttrpg.network/post/22820933

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
