I'm Nick Thornborrow, and I've been in the game industry for fifteen years. Most of that time has been as a concept and storyboard artist at BioWare, where I worked on all of the Dragon Age titles, including the upcoming Dragon Age: Dread Wolf. I also illustrated "Stories of the Saints" by Carey Wallace. Lately I've rediscovered traditional media and have been exploring gouache painting. I'm excited to start building a new art community!

Our new #swordsandwizardry campaign began… in an exciting way: In literally the first two dice rolls (to climb a wall…) the two best climbers both failed and almost died, if not for our Paladin and Cleric. So, we'll use climbing hooks and ropes now.😇

We are playing the DNGN zine material, which is quite fun so far.

Borderlands & Beyond. Chaosium was selling this books from the old Moon Design Glorantha Classics line for a 40% discount, so after hearing so many good things about it on the Vintage RPG podcast, I got this paperback. Of course this is a classic and what we have here is a nice reprint, with clean text and good paper quality. I have some minor issues with some pixelated art and the blurry cover reproduction, which could have used a higher res scan. Still very playable. #ttrpg #runequest #pnpde
I love this beautiful RuneQuest Starter Set. So much stuff for 30$ and they obviously put a lot of thought into this. #tabletop #ttrpg
Well, I finally got the (very) limited edition of #Runequest Glorantha and yes, I am quite happy with how this one turned out. This may be a collector’s edition, but I’ll be very happy to play this game, too: I may have very sentimental feelings for RQ and Glorantha in particular, but this is actually a very nice version of the classic game. #ttrpg #runequest #tabletop
I discovered that I really like RPG books in smaller formats like Whitehack or – as shown here – „Warlock!“ by Greg Saunders/Fire Ruby designs. Apart from being cute and short, these are very light rules for a more 80s-brit-fantasy gaming experience, with a career system very much like WHFRP. This is using a D20  though.
This very versatile ruleset and also quite charming, content-wise – I really like this and plan to use it soon-ish. #ttrpg #tabletop
I finally tried out Whitehack 3E as a player and I am happy to report that… it just worked really well. Even the stuff I thought could be a bit hard to explain to players – stuff worked, with the notable exception of the auction mechanic, which too some time to implement well. BUT: players just loved that in the end, too. This could well be my future go-to old school ruleset for non-DCC stuff. #ttprg #rpg #tabletop
I am very much looking forward to the release of WhiteHack 3e next month and I’ll probable use it for my non-DCC old school needs. Does anyone here have some experience with the older editions in a longer running campaigns? #tabletop #tabletop #rpg #ttrpg
Die neue Ausgabe des DCC-Zines "Der Trichter" ebenfalls vorbestellt worden und darin ist auch ein ziemlich umfangreiches Abenteuer aus meiner Feder - Testspieler wie @Tealk haben es sehr viel besser gemacht. Danke noch einmal an euch! Das "Zine" hat in dieser Ausgabe entspannte… 120 Seiten. #ttrpg #pnpde #tabletop https://www.system-matters.de/shop/dcc-trichter-2/
