I recently moved my shop to a dedicated Dashery storefront and I am so happy to report that the quality of apparel and items is excellent! #ttrpg #dnd d20monkey.dashery.com

The MOON10 bundle of the Moonshae adventures is up on the DMs Guild! These adventures showcase the arrival of The Slain. The stakes get a lot higher in the Moonshaes, as our villain shows that it's good to be bad!

Mmmm. Hobbit-style griddle cakes. My weekend indulgence.

The hotel reservation filled in everyone on the reservation with my name, leaving me to explain that I was the real Eric. Registration had fun with it. 😄

DM's Guild knows a good thing when they see it. ;-)

Summer has slipped away. It's time to start practicing Christmas carols with my harp for the next four months. Fortunately, there are a number of relatively simple ones.

The MOON7 trilogy of the Rising Shadows storyline is on the DM's Guild as a bundle! Explore three very different temples to the Earthmother of the Moonshaes. Danger and wonder in equal measure! www.dmsguild.com/product/5304...

No one is watching. I’m sure I can filch it!

With Gen Con done, it’s time for a family vacay. How am I supposed to pack with this standing guard?

So much fun but oh so tired by the end of the convention. Back home to sleep and recover for next year!

A few of my better photos from Gen Con. It was a great time with friends and so many games.

We have a lot of fun when we play D&D at conventions. Sometimes you get to climb under a 60 lb puppet and do improve comedy. 😆

Did I mention that it was hard work moving that puppet?

My good friend @jortizart.bsky.social made a fantastic puppet for the @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social special at Gen Con. He did such a great job. It was horrifying!

I’m in good company with my harp!

The Grim Hollow Epic I wrote for Ghostfire Games ran this morning and it was a great time! My thanks to all the players and DMs who came together for an incredible experience.

Here we goooo! Less than 24 hours ... until the #LegendsofGreyhawk premiere! Oerth has need of you adventurers! Will you answer the call? #DnD #LoG @dndbeyond.com #GenCon2025 @dndbeyond.bsky.social

What crazy contraption am I bringing to Gen Con to confound, amaze, and maybe even terrify players?

I really want to bring my harp to Gen Con for the Candlekeep Presents Panel. I'll noodle on it while wearing my Harper shirt and wearing my harper pin.

Today is packing day for Gen Con. I’m not taking all these books, but I am heading out there to run some Greyhawk. I hope to see you there!

This is the penultimate drawing in my series meant to honor the 50th anniversary of D&D ... based on the cover for the 2024 edition of the Dungeon Master's Guide (original art by Tyler Jacobson). Tune in to the livestream on Wednesday nights. YouTube.com/@therealstannex

My father-in-law would own this contest.

Cute little projector prepares for a trip to GenCon! This little guy will be doing some heavy lifting at the Candlekeep Presents panel.

Everyone wants to be on the other side of the door.

I've moved up to late-beginner songs in the harp course I'm taking. I'm now a level 3 harpist. Glissandos, here I come!

There’s a National Banana Festival?! And it has a Puddin’ Path?! I wanna go!

There were some very pretty clouds over Georgia on our way north. I was driving so no picture. We were heading toward them for about half an hour so I got to enjoy them without taking my eyes off the road.

I’m helping my dad move cross country to live with my sis. Road trip time!

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

It was another Moonshae Monday on the DM's Guild yesterday. Rising Shadows Trilogy #5 is now available as a bundle! Ready to get your Northlander fix and go a-Viking? Pick this up today! www.dmsguild.com/product/5289...

In the winter it's "What Child Is This" but it's summertime so it's "Greensleeves!" I love this melody. I only recorded the first half to keep the size of the file down.

Happy Moonshae Monday! RS-MOON4 Trilogy Bundle is now up on the DMs Guild at a reduced price! www.dmsguild.com/product/5280...

I'm learning a new song -- Misty Mountains Cold from The Hobbit. I dig the low notes on this one. I hope I don't dig too deep! Only one mis-pluck on this play through! Woooo! Progress!

Cowboy Resumés ( SIDE NOTE: in 27 years of cartooning, this is the *first* time I’ve ever used the Oliphant/Tim Toles structure of the tiny people embedded at the bottom of the larger comic — it’s a fun way to do it! )

Happy Moonshae Monday (if a few days late). The Rising Shadows MOON3 Trilogy bundle is now up on the DMs Guild. Take a break from the heat and go explore the mountains and the Deepshaes! www.dmsguild.com/product/5272...

Ice skating lessons with the kiddo are a perfect way to avoid the summer heat.

My New Year's resolution was to learn how to play the harp. My wife found this beauty and bought it used. Five months of practice later....

This weekend's DnD game involved a wild magic carpet ride around a waterspout that was flinging weresharks at the heroes.

Origins is this weekend. Two DnD adventures I wrote are running there. GenCon is coming soon. I have two DnD adventures I wrote running there. I hope everyone who plays these events enjoys them! I had so much fun putting them together for us to share!

It was a Moonshae Monday yesterday! Rising Shadows Trilogy 2: Howling Lament is now up on the DM's Guild. Pick it up and get three adventures at a discount! If you already have one of the series, it's a great way to fill in your collection. www.dmsguild.com/product/5265...

From Secrets of the Lamp by @wolfgangbaur.bsky.social. This text entertained me greatly. The Rule of the Amused DM is real!

I'm progressing really well on Loch Lomond with my harp. The lower octave line feels so good on this Troubadour harp. I love it. I might do Misty Mountains Cold next just so I can stay in the low octaves for a full song.

Greensleeves mastered (mostly). It's off to the next song. Loch Lomond!

Last night I helped out with the local gaming club’s Learn to DM workshop. It was a smashing success! DMs are the backbone of this hobby. More DMs means more games!

I wrapped up one of my home games just in time. Two of my players are moving away this summer. So I hosted a cook out in the backyard with all my gaming friends in their honor. There were toasts and stories aplenty. It's how a campaign should end. It's sadly all too rare.

The recruitment sign by our local volunteer fire department is top notch.

The cleric tonight, "You know how I check for traps?" *slaps hand on chest* "Cure Wounds!"
