The RS-MOON16 Trilogy is now up on the Guild as a bundle! I loved this trilogy so much, as we delve deep into the Howling Disease, the corruption of the moonwells, and the Once and Future Guardian. www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

Emily Fiegenschuh (e-figart.com) sent me the original watercolor of her illustration "Swanmay by the Moonwell." This will be the cover for our upcoming Rising Shadows Omnibus. She is amazingly talented!

Peril, tragedy, and wonder. Three crucial elements of the Moonshaes. You'll find them all in this trilogy of evocative adventures where you face giants, escape the belly of a whale, and follow the light to a mystery under the mountains. www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

4 days; 4 D&D games; 3 editions. My die-rolling hand is tired. I'm going to need to go ice it.

A thinking Eric is a cozy Eric.

My cat likes to play fetch but at his own pace.

6pm pacific!

Just in time for the chill to be seeping into the air...

This is the copy of the WFRP 4th edition rulebook that I used while writing the Enemy Within Director's Cut. I put a notarized statement to that effect in the front, vaguely intending to auction it for charity. Since I was laid off, I now need the money for rent and food. Would anyone bid on this?

The tang of sea is in the air this week as the MOON-RS13 Trilogy bundle is now up. The Northlanders of Norheim are in dire peril against reavers, dragons, and a hidden. menace far more dangerous than either of those. www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

Melancholy harps are the best melancholy

I always loved the title for the MOON-RS12 trilogy. Pawns of Torment. It gives me shivers. Here, the Moonshaes are shaken by the truth of The Slain. All this with archdruids, an ancient queen, and a dracolich! www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

MOON-RS11 is the great turning point in the Rising Shadows stories. The mysteries of The Slain are revealed! www.dmsguild.com/en/product/5...

I’m working on a new song on my harp🪉O Come Emmanuel 🎵 and it full of overlapping brackets. What are those? Listen to find out!

The lap harp can travel with me to conventions, but my pride and joy is the Troubadour lever harp. He has such a beautiful sound!

It's almost time for Concentration Check! Come join us and get some work done! With Erin & Erik! twitch.tv/dungeonscraw...

In this weekend’s DnD game, the party continued their exploration of the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. We’re going through it from top to bottom instead of bottom to top. I love how this adventure works in either direction.

I really like the El Paso airport. It’s very nice. Compact, efficient, clean. Lots of light. A good level of theming. Everything I could want out of a small city airport.

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.

Homemade ice cream break! The most delicious peach ice cream, courtesy of @galadhion.bsky.social !

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.'
