Today on Between Two Cairns @bradkerr.net, Skullboy and I review BSOLO Ghost of Lion Castle, and answer a mailbag question. www.patreon.com/posts/bsolo-...

@bradkerr.net and I have made another small adventure together! This time it's a nasty crawl through a swamp. It's called SWAMP WORLD and will be available in January (or right now, if you're a member of my patreon.com/skullfungus). Anyway, thanks Brad for being a cool guy who's fun to work with!

My "cellar door" is "playable skeletons"

I was on Between Two Cairns with @bradkerr.net and @yochaigal.bsky.social to talk about the Ennies, design, ducks, and—most of all—Warped Beyond Recognition, one of my favorite Mothership modules! It's a long one (a re-occuring theme of mine). Hope you like it! www.patreon.com/posts/142727...

It's time for more BETWEEN TWO CAIRNS featuring special guest @explorersdesign.bsky.social. We review "Warped Beyond Recognition" by @traaa.sh. Enjoy your delicious moments, folks. www.patreon.com/posts/142727...

Trying to be the ttrpg scene I want to see in Los Angeles. If you are in LA and want to play some Troika and stuff in person, join me: discord.gg/xFhgKm7EN7

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes. It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess. cairnrpg.com/barebones/

I also ought to repost this crowdfunding campaign. It's at 50%! If you have the means, help me pay for my college tuition fees! It would mean the world to me ko-fi.com/goobernuts/g...

My D&D adventures are available in print, they come in a set of three. These adventures are all one-shots that you can run on their own, or slot into an existing campaign. They're really easy to run, rules-light, pretty weird and usually at least a bit silly.

My adventure "Fabien's Atelier" is pay-what-you-want this month in honor of @directsungames.com Puzzle Dungeon Jam. Please enjoy. brad-kerr.itch.io/fabiens-atel...

Ryan over on @theweeklyscroll.com and I were talking about how some folks promote themselves like cheap door-to-door salesmen. As someone trained in branding, there's another way that's more rewarding and more fun. The approach I'm trying to get better at👇 www.explorersdesign.com/how-to-promo...

Its Jennell jaquays birthdat. She left this realm last January. Her her adventure design and artwork made a bigger impact on me than any other judges guild writer. I even used the color scheme from Hellpits of Nightfang for inspiration when illustrating Duginthroat Divided. Here's a small tribute.

My mail used to come early in the day and I was happy. Now, my mail comes very late and I'm often left wondering "where is the mail?" or "why hasn't the mail come yet?" Folks, if your mail comes at a reasonable time, treasure that.

Look, we've got bigger problems right now but it looks like My Bloody Valentine pulled Loveless and Isn't Anything from streaming platforms ☹️

On today's Between Two Cairns we review Tuomas Vauhkonen's absolute whopper of an adventure "The Ghosts of Zoazanna Mountain." www.patreon.com/posts/138307...

"The strength of this adventure is that it celebrates without flinching away from exploring complex questions of how religion differs from culture, how migration intersects with violence, and most importantly, how self-protection can so easily sour into virulent xenophobia."

Yesterday, on my way home from my vacation, I passed by a TTRPG/Board Game store (so rare in my town). The TTRPG section was mostly D&D 2024, but in a corner I found this...I couldn't resist. @bradkerr.net #ttrpg #osr #ose
