Happy Halloween!

If you’re hankering for Saturday evening frivolity at #PAXWest, please join me, Mike Krahulik, Jerry Holkins, and the rest of the #AcqInc cast for the latest #DnD live game! The fun starts at 7 PM (rather than the usual 8 PM time), so don’t be late. [This show features adults using adult language.]

I look forward to seeing some of you next week at #PAXWest in Seattle! I’ll be the guy behind the DM screen at the #AcqInc live game. I haven’t seen my costume yet, but I’m told it’s appropriately ridiculous.

I saw this hanging precariously above a doorway and, me being me, thought death by EXIT sign would be a pretty funny way to go.

Hey Gang! I could not be more thrilled to step behind the screen for Campaign 4 of Critical Role, and cannot wait to share all the amazing things me and this incredible team have been cooking up for you! 🐲⚔️🔮

Superman was FUUUUUNNNNN!

I got my summer/fall convention schedule sorted out. I’ll be at Gen Con, PAX West, and Gamehole Con. If you see me, don’t be afraid to say “Hi,” “FU,” “Green Flame!” or whatever else springs to mind.

The D&D adventure anthology #DragonDelves releases today. Ten adventures, ten dragons, and some trippy art! It was, for me, a particularly fun project to work on. Thanks to all the amazing artists, art directors, writers, editors, graphic designers, etc. who worked on it.

Robot car has quite the attitude tonight:

Got a new satellite dish. Only gets animal channels.

#AcqInc live on stage at #PAXEast was a blast. I’m honored to have such a splendid group of players (Jerry, Jasmine, Xavier, Anna, and Ify) and a first-rate production crew. Bravo, y’all. Now come the sleeps. 💤

Acquisitions Incorporated is BACK at #PAXEast 2025! Join us LIVE at the Main Theatre or on Twitch on Saturday, May 10th at 8:30pm ET, with DM Chris Perkins, Jerry Holkins, Jasmine Bhullar, Anna Prosser and WWE Superstar Xavier Woods! #acqinc

Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Apropos of nothing, Elon Musk holds the Guinness World Record for the largest loss of personal fortune in history: ~182 billion US. No one else is close.

Not for nothing, but you could run a game of D&D via filibuster. "Will the Senator yield for a question?" "I yield for a question without yielding the floor." "Can I shove the gargoyle?" "Roll for strength." "9". *17 minute description of the gargoyle not moving after being shoved*

My life is rife With passwords My brain can’t contain

Yippie-ki-yay, motherf***ers!

Amazing cakes for the D&D rulebook wrap party! 🎉

#Severance S2E4, “Woe’s Hollow,” was mind-boggling and creepy in the most Lynchian way. Ben Stiller is such a gifted director. John Turturro is sublime.

After many years, I finally rewatched The Last Unicorn. The movie’s vocal talent alone is amazing—Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, Christopher Lee, Jeff Bridges, René Auberjonois, etc.—but the commentary track with Peter Beagle was an added delight.

Today's guest on 50 Years in the Dungeon will be none other than @chrisperkinsdnd.bsky.social. Hope you can join us in the live chatroom (6pm Pacific). www.facebook.com/share/17UB3d...

It was a joy to present 4E versions of the “G” series modules. Given the time involved, I had no plans to update the other adventures, although I’m quite fond of them as well. #dnd

Mood.

RIP David Lynch. What a journey.

This is how my dog sleeps.

Stay safe, y’all. These wildfires are insane. Check on your peeps and pets!

Whether you were naughty or nice this year, Milo and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a joyous holiday season! 🎄🎁

As winter approaches, I find myself thinking about Sidharth Chaturvedi’s gnoll vampire from Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden (2020). Kate Irwin and I had three compositions to choose from. In the final, Sidharth increased the size of Tekeli-li’s hyena form to make him more terrifying. #dnd

The castle in “Wards of Witching Ways” (published in Dungeon 11 in 1988) was inspired by an Alan Lee illustration in Castles (1984), which Santa gave me for Christmas in 1985. #50YearsOfDnD

These poor sods. #dnd

One of my all-time favorite projects to work on was Mines of Madness (2013), a 5E-compatible D&D adventure that Scott Kurtz and I created for sh*ts and giggles. Scott came up with the plot and the illustrations; I did the writing and the maps. It’s now roaming free on the internet. #50YearsOfDnD

Among the many fantastic gifts I’ve received from D&D fans over the years is this little bottle of dirt from Hell—specifically Hell, Michigan. Never been there, but I hear it’s nicer than Avernus. #dnd

Baba Yaga’s dancing hut was first explored in “The Dancing Hut,” an AD&D adventure in Dragon 83. One of the things you can find in the hut is a Soviet tank—further evidence that D&D embraces weirdness! In my expert opinion, you should ignore the part about the tank not being operable. #50YearsOfDnD

One of my favorite D&D adventures is Reavers of Harkenwold. It appeared in the 4E Dungeon Master’s Kit and was made by the same folks who created Lost Mine of Phandelver. Like Phandalin, Harkenwold is an awesome starter setting. It would be fun to update it for 5E. #50YearsOfDnD #dnd

D&D art directors periodically commission batches of “spot” illustrations, their purpose being to fill holes in books. This lovely spot illo, commissioned by Kate Irwin and created by @olgadrebas.bsky.social in 2021, found a home in the 2024 Dungeon Master’s Guide. #dnd

The Falling Star, released by Wizkids as a minis-scale model in 2019, was based on a map I drew in 1989. #50YearsOfDnD

Here are a few fan-made baby owlbears that I keep on my 📱—a skyline cleanser for you and a trip down Memory Lane for me. #dnd #dca

Pendleton Ward, the creator of #AdventureTime, was a consultant on Tomb of Annihilation (2017). Pen helped me flesh out the Nine Gods of Omu and also drew me a doodle on a napkin. #dnd

What’s the BlueSky equivalent of “a tweet”? (Put another way, what is this thing you’re reading right now?)

This illo is by William O’Connor, one of the lead illustrators of #dnd 4E. Bill passed away years ago, but his illo lives on in the revised 5E Dungeon Master’s Guide (2024). #50YearsOfDnD

The #dnd adventure The Wild Beyond the Witchlight (2021) came to me while I was walking in the woods with Milo. When I got back to my car, I used a post-it note to capture some key thoughts that later got incorporated into the outline.
