Yep, I'm still wading through updates, but I'll get there. I can't look at screens all day and trying to up my social media game across Twitter/BlueSky/Instagram/Threads is also proving time and screen time intensive.

That said, this image from Lost Cities

convinced me to reconsider some advice from a friendly squirrel in my endeavor to get Abydos onto The Game Crafter some time this year... And after some graphic re-design, printing, and cutting; I've got a better idea of what borders might look like with Abydos:


Okay, the borders aren't that bad... note that this is with extending the artwork to just past the "safe" line on Game Crafter's template. Thoughts on the new look? Should I risk it and extend the art further? Maybe to about halfway between the "safe" line and the "cut" line? Again, any/all thoughts greatly appreciated :geek_grin:.

Happy Sunday and happy playing!

Tabletop RPGs are great. I used to play D&D 3 (and 3.5), ending up as the perpetual DM after a while. Besides the greyhawk pantheon, we mostly homebrewed everything. My worlds consisted mostly of a tiered hierarchy of evil characters who the players would fight or momentarily serve. And if the players wanted to endlessly create their own side quests, they could do that too. I also ran some Call of Cthulhu and a fully homebrew diceless crime RPG, which were both very different. I've tried to get back into TTRPGs in some capacity, but we're always a person short to get things kicked off.

Great List! Thoughtful flavor in each justification...I've seen so many lazy lists lately that are simply lists of games with no commentary. Worth a read, and thanks for the effort.
