Hey all!

I'm Peter aka Jimmy Shelter, a TTRPG designer/writer from the Netherlands.

You might know me from my weird city solo journaling games A Visit to San Sibilia & Hiria: the Eternal City, or from my meddlesome kids game Pine Shallows.

Wu-Tang is for the kids.
Wrong answers only. My bet:
thanks for all the fish.

Starfarer, in 8pg zine format and chock full of art by @chaoclypse.bsky.social

I started playing a solo game using these rules on Monday, and will update these rules if necessary as I play through the World-Ocean.

Grab it on itch, or as a Monthly Games member on the Ansible Uplink Patreon.

After two years of writing adventure modules, I'm jumping back into journaling games!

Wizard Mind Palace is a game about preparing for an epic quest, meant to capture the vibe of Gandalf sipping tea while poring over dusty tomes and scrolls.

Coming to Kickstarter next month.
Coming soon: Wizard Mind Palace: Solo Journaling Roleplaying Game
You are a wizard that must repair their corrupted memories in order to complete an epic quest.

In my new job as a primary school teacher assistent (aiming teo become a teacher myself) I work less hours, and I'm still pretty exhausted after working, so less time to work on games.

So, support my mid life crisis career move by perusing my games!

Reading Scum and Villainy.

Great game, can’t wait to get it to the table.

The way the book is organized? Really counter to how I learn any game. Not meshing with me at all.

Is it aimed at people already familiar with Blades in the Dark?

One of my pet peeves is the dislike of terms for people not in your specific interest group as civilians, normies, mundanes, etc.

Somehow most conversations my partner and I have can be replaced by sighing ‘capitalism’ while shaking our heads.

chatbots that only can connect you to an actual human after you lie to the questiona because your problem can’t be solved by a bot

And then the human operator just disconnecting the chat without answering.

My day is going great

Working with Tom is great. I love the artwork they made for Pine Shallows!
Periodic reminder that I am basically always open for commissions, and could really do with some right now 😅

Looking for someone who can do 90’s point-and-click style pixel art for a commission. Short notice but it’d need to be done in the next two weeks. Lemme know if that’s you, and share your portfolio please!

Proper double boxing technique, and plenty of tape reinforcing edges. Notice how the outer box is crumpled at one end, but the inner box and zines are fine. That's how to package.
Unboxing of Pine Shallows, with great camera work by my 6-year old!

(Sorry @bertdrawsstuff.bsky.social for blanking on your name, my excuse is that I ran 8 km yesterday).

Thanks to @shop.peregrinecoast.press for shipping it so safely to me!
