Chatting with @nightnoon.games reminded me that I never shared my latest write-up here.

Headed to ArcaneCon for the weekend! If you stop by the Arcane Library booth, I'll have a con-exclusive Shadowdark zine to sell you! 😜 And don't worry, I'm not cramped in the window seat since I'm lucky enough to be next to a small child.

My stretch goal for @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social & @jedediahberry.bsky.social's Valley of Flowers sequel is UNLOCKED! I'm excited to write a guide on how to run their newest book, The Saintly Hollows, using Shadowdark. The campaign has 7 days left, but why wait? www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

Just turned in a lil writing I did for the upcoming DarkSpace Kickstarter campaign! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dmi...

Hey! Lovely Jade Necropolis is the #36 bestseller on @drivethrurpg.com right now, thank you all for a great launch weekend! #shadowdark #cairn #osr #ttrpg www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Ohio's Sweetheart @jpcoovert.bsky.social unboxes his SILVER PLAY BUTTON from youtube! (That means he got one-hundred THOUSAND subscribers!) He talks about his journey along the way as well. JP, you're the best, and it couldn't have happened to a better guy. Love ya, dude! <3

From someone who is NOT into actual plays, I thought this episode was GREAT! I'm really looking forward to seeing where Shadowdark will take them!

We are on our way to the last stretch goal! Sure would be cool to have @willjobst.bsky.social and @nightnoon.games write up those conversion kits for Mythic Bastionland and Shadowdark. For the Knight-Friends! And the Night-Fiends!

I had a tintype photo taken of me at a local art museum's Halloween fundraiser. The technique dates back to 1853! The costume is of a vampire and straight off the Spirit Halloween rack. I think it turned out really cool, and it was an interesting experience.

I saw Frankenstein last night and it was somewhere between "Fair" and "Good." Probably 2.5/5. It doesn't look like @gonzohistory.bsky.social has done any Monster Man special episodes on Frankenstein yet *cough cough,* so listening to his deep dive into Universal Monster Movies will have to do.

The @glasscannonnetwork.bsky.social just launched S03 of their mainline podcast and have switched from PF2e to #Shadowdark! GC has a BIG audience and a record of quality APs. I'm excited to watch the show & for folks who find both the Shadowdark community and the wider OSR community because of it!

@kickstarter.com is such a cool business as it helps creators fulfill their dreams. I can't imagine the TTRPG scene without them Like every business, its success is built on the backs of its workforce - @kickstarterunited.org. These people keep the company running, and they need our support.

I'm back from my first non-working holiday since pre-pandemic; touring Slovokia, tooling around London, and a memorable night in Vienna. It took a few days, but I even stopped checking Discord and Bluesky, and once I did, I got to enjoy things even more. Excited to get back into work now though!

This looks dope.

My group really loved me running the original Valley of Flowers, so this was an EASY back. PLUS, I'm a stretch goal! If the campaign reaches $60,000 (a slam dunk), I'll be writing guidance for running this bad boy using Shadowdark!!!

So excited to share the Kickstarter for Wildendrem Volume Two: The Saintly Hollows, my ongoing tabletop RPG collaboration with @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social. We have so much fun writing these, and people seem to like playing them too. #osr #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

Let's GOOOO!!! I'm pumped for RagnaBorg. Erica Lowe, the game's author, worked The Arcane Library booth at GenCon and is a really great person. I'm pumped to be able to support her not just because she's cool, but because I think she has made something cool, too! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rag...

Happy birthday to my favorite FLGS, @gamesantacruz.bsky.social, and its proud papa, @weso138.bsky.social. @riseupcomus.bsky.social’s His Majesty the Worm and The Arcane Library’s Shadowdark are well-stocked, as they should be.

The incomparable @jpcoovert.bsky.social is LESS THAN 100 subscribers away from getting 100,000 subscribers a coveted Silver YouTube plaque! His videos focus on making D&D art like drawing maps, monsters, heroes, and much more! It's very cool stuff. Go give him a sub! www.youtube.com/@JPCoovert

This book is very good.

Oh I am here for this. Really looking forward to these new adventures from Valley of Flowers creators @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social and @jedediahberry.bsky.social! www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

I always forget legless lizards are a real thing. Next time, the PCs in my Shadowdark group are getting a swarm of these fellas dropped on them rather than snakes! #osr

On Tuesday the non-profit that I am the board chair of held our big annual fundraiser at Odell Brewing Co. here in town. (They're a fantastic brewery whose owners are very dedicated to things like affordable housing.) Don't worry, I'm getting to the Shadowdark part... 1/2

Yesterday at the Arcane Library, shipped a Shadowdark order to someone in my town. I always think it's pretty cool when this happens, especially because our population is only 170,000. People are playing this game everywhere, and it's only growing!

I just backed A Haunting in Glass: An Adventure for Shadowdark RPG by @slimemindstudio.bsky.social on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/a-h...

I'm excited to be rolling virtual dice with Bill of @crawlclub.bsky.social today at 3pm EST playing Shadowdark on the Dungeons & Dyslexia youtubes. Come watch me gawk at the wonders of @foundryvtt.bsky.social Shadowdark module, which I've never used & looks awesome! www.youtube.com/live/qfkTaD6...

Good stuff in here, with new art added frequently!

I just backed Crawling Deep — Expansion for Shadowdark RPG on @Kickstarter www.kickstarter.com/projects/sig...

I am so ashamed and embarrassed. When editing my Shadowdark project, I just discovered and edited out three instances where I referred to checks as "saves!" Maybe that's not so bad for 70,000 words though?

Started a new Shadowdark campaign yesterday with @slimemindstudio.bsky.social GMing and we kicked things off with his gauntlet Appx. N Jam entry: The Null Conclave! itch.io/jam/appx-n-j...

Shadowdark: The Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur Three stalwart adventurers venture into a lost citadel determined to seek treasure and glory. But as they delve into the lost citadel, they risk meeting the dangerous scarlet minotaur! This is our first adventure using the Shadowdark RPG system.…

This is one of my FAVORITE talents from the battlezoo monsters I've adapted for use in Shadowdark! The monster is a Gunpowder Bear. You can still late pledge for the project if you missed out during the Kickstarter campaign and want 400+ monsters written by me! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...

A COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE TO TTRPG ART COMMISSIONING AND LICENSING It's done! Here is my guide to art commissioning, licensing, and art direction in TTRPGs. It's free to see, has contract and brief templates, and plenty of resources to aid in art literacy in the space. www.patreon.com/posts/compre...

I am not usually into actual-plays, but I'm absolutely interested in whatever this is by the @dungeondudes.bsky.social! Also, I love Wil Wheaton. youtu.be/iXnYXLnoMAY?...

A fun little monster from the Shadowdark adaptation of @jpcoovert.bsky.social's Dragon Town and the Darkness Below.

Kelsey's attention to detail is next-level, so it makes me feel better about my own work when I find something she missed! The 11 other mentions of "non-magical" in the Shadowdark core rules all have a hyphen.

Next week on Kickstarter! Stay tuned.

Sadly, not about d&d.

The main issue is that the best D&D products aren’t made by WotC. They’re made by Arcane Library, Necrotic Gnome, Goodman Games and others. I’m introducing some young family members to D&D in a couple of weeks and using a WotC system wasn’t even on the short list.

Today is the last chance to get in on some sweet Battlezoo for Shadowdark monster action as part of the kickstarter campaign! I'm not the "head writer" on this project, but I am pretty sure I did more writing than anyone else has on it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/rol...

My town made @theonion.com !!! buff.ly/evgySgB

This morning I went to work at the coffee shop that was my JAM 20 years ago (I slept overnight on the couch there w/ my prom date in our formal wear as it was 24h) & was happy to see they have a zine library! So, I left a copy of A Fungal Problem! Download it for free on itch! #osr buff.ly/9pSxG9s

Tomorrow is the LAST DAY to back Three New Battlezoo Secret Tomes for Shadowdark on Kickstarter! I've made over FOUR-HUNDRED AND THIRTY MONSTERS for this project for @rollforcombat.bsky.social, and we discussed it on a stream yesterday: www.youtube.com/live/y4HXbZS...

Knave 2e pairs excellently with Shadowdark! I'm all about those random tables, baby!!! #osr

Old D&D art is something. Look at this goofy ice gnome!

I just received the PDFs for the Alpha version of Brazilian Shadowdark and am SO PUMPED for this game to find a home amongst Portuguese-speakers! Also, because of factors like the length of Portuguese translations and a B5 book, there are FIFTY-FIVE new pieces of art, most by Brazilian artists!
