Just wrapped up session 11 of my Ultraviolet Grimwilds campaign! I feel like I have a better handle on the strengths and weaknesses of both UVG and Grimwild now, and while I can't fully endorse either without at least a few caveats, I'm still very much enjoying both!

Maybe I should even clean up my conversion document enough to be able to post it to my blog or Itch 🙂‍↕️

(They also work together very well, because UVG will frequently give you only the tiniest bit of information about anything, while Grimwild is built entirely around making sure that's never an issue)

Caravan creation in UVG done! My players and I had a lot of fun with creating the caravan, but we had an equal amount of frustration at the chapter being only partially updated to 2e, leaving some tricky rules inconsistencies that required checking the 1e rulebook to resolve.

Still, I'm excited for next week when we can start actually playing! I've never played a game where I needed *two* session 0s before 🌝

#UVG session 87 🌈

At long last, we leave Three Sticks Lake after setting up a peace summit involving the three main villages. No one learned of our caravan's involvement in the mooncrash that ravaged the area 10 years prior. 🕊️

Next step: repair a machine queen, reintroduce the megasloth in its natural habitat, resurrect the Blue God. 🌠

The angling minigame works wonders, the players love it 🎣.

Decided to throw up a quick draft of the latest thing I'm working on after some prompting on Bluesky, so here it is! It's a roll-and-keep, single-combat-roll variant of Synthetic Dream Machine: https://thecloudtender.com/2025/01/11/unnamed.html

Sara got me #Dolmenwood for Yule, so now my players get to decide whether they want that or #UltravioletGrasslands, and I get to decide whether I want to use a preexisting system for that or whether I want to continue noodling on my SEACAT/Cortex mashup system. Hmm.

In the span of the last 24 hours, I've jumped on the new #UltravioletGrasslands bakerkit, ordered the fancy #Mothership box set, and now I'm gonna pick up the Kill Six Billion Demons/LANCER guy's new RPG just based on the art alone.

And to think, I was afraid I was getting in a rut and only fiddling with old games.
