i’m reading: the seven deaths of evelyn hardcastle.

got a book while wandering the local music thing in the neighborhood

These are actually quite fun to doodle and quick too. This time it's a celestial warrior of some kind. An angel, an archon a whatever. Just put it in your D&D game! #art #acrylic #marker #fantasy #D&D #folkart

Crop of a sci-fi bar scene.

I had fun at Gamefacecon

Gardening I find really has helped me be more at peace with the pace of my writing process. As I have more adventures that i am proud of, that work doesn’t go away, it’s just joined by new things as I learn and grow more. (Thoughts brought on by revisiting old works that will be rereleased soon).

Submissions for 2027 close Monday at noon!

Now that the discourse has died down, and my birding has lessened, I want to talk about lists in rpgs. I like what both sides of the debate make. So, like everything else, "good" isn't about which side you choose but how you execute the idea. If you choose to use lists, use them well.

The Doom of the Dark Kickstarter is headed into the last stretch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaw... a one-shot adventure zine by @falsemachine.bsky.social with brave mouse knights and really dumb goblins and terrible sorcery (and all these drawings) #ttrpg #osr

this was fun last year, get ready!

Survivor 50 may be over… but the summer rewatch pod is back for its FIFTH year! Join Christine (and many fabulous guests) this summer for I Can Get Loud Too, a weekly Pearl Islands rewatch podcast! Intro ep drops on May 27, and the first ep recap drops June 3rd in the BJPod feed 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

The "Problem of Knowledge" says this: When you know something, you forget what it's like to not know it. Game designers don't know what it's like to not understand the rules (new players). How can they bridge the gap? A 🧵 +

Meanwhile... We now have a shop for the USA and Canada(opening in the next few days), and one for other destinations (already open!). Each one is linked to a professional warehouse. To celebrate this major leveling up, we are offering a sale on every issue of KNOCK! as well as the Folklore Bestiary

Gamefacecon was great! I ran Honey Heist for friends including Skullboy’s Skull Spouse and Joseph R. Lewis. did a panel with @cairnrpg.com and @goblinprincete.bsky.social which was lovely. Thanks for having me @justinsirois.bsky.social!

i love my friends.

I wrote a tournament module for BETWEEN TWO CONS called "Weird Little Freaks" with art by @betterlegends.bsky.social. I think we have 9 sessions scheduled. This adventure is dumb as hell (nonderogatory). Zines for sale at the convention and afterwards.

Baltimoreans! DMVers! People from PA/NY/elsewhere who don't mind a hike! GameFace 2026 is this weekend (May 23rd-24th). I'll be vending at Table 4 (at the edge of that alley left of the bar) both days. Come say hi!

Nice to see someone using the forest gen tools from the Warden's Guide www.carouse.blog/cc-4-we-made...

Hello everyone, I understand not everyone can come to Between Two Cons and I just wanted to say that I HEAR you and I SEE you and I know why. Here's a shirt you can wear proudly, wherever it is you will be. cottonbureau.com/p/9EVZ39/shi...

Someone did the yeoman's work of making an interactable hexcrawl dashboard for the Middle-earth Hexcrawl Project! Check out their incredible work:

More work on the rulebook for The Locked Room Murder Mystery Game. This is the most important thing in the game, so it's going to be the first thing you see when you open the rules.

Im gonna be at Gameface con this weekend hawking my new stickers (and the rest of my art) and im really banking on how much Baltimore likes this seasoning.

My teen crew reached stopping place, so we’re taking a break to play some sci-fi. I have some important decisions to make. They’re into liminal, creepy, SCP. May have to adapt a little for the youngest players. Should be fun. 🤩 #osr #monolith @weirdwonder.bsky.social @adamhensley.bsky.social

I'm launching my first Kickstarter this July, featuring three #Shadowdark zines in print and PDF! #osr #ttrpg #dnd www.kickstarter.com/projects/jos...

finally finished The Living Mountain by Nan Shepherd.

waoh, Alanna: The First Adventure was nominated for an Eisner for best adaptation. Working with Vita @definitelyvita.bsky.social and our editor Charlotte Greenbaum on this book was fantastic, I'm so proud of our whole team.

My comfort zone: Tiny fantasy people, preferably with big backpacks.

process pics of making the art for The Doom of the Dark illustrations check it out here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gaw... an adventure zine by @falsemachine.bsky.social launching really really soon! #ttrpg #osr

Where will you venture first in the shadow of Castle Grief?

I just posted a Patreon about this guy-Obberwick the steward.

Cirie came into #Survivor50 as an extreme outlier in an uneven cast. Her legend status preceded her. She should’ve been gone night 1. Instead, she lasted 12 episodes. For 11 weeks they let her run rampant, floating like a butterfly, swinging like a pendulum & deciding the votes.

Hello #TTRPG creator friends! Guess who's released a spot art pack for your fantasy RPG or adventure? That's right it's me. For £8.99 you can grab 20 high definition spot illustrations with a universal commercial license! queer-wizard.itch.io/queer-wizard...

VOTE CIRIE

#Survivor 50 will be remembered as a bad season where Cirie played what might’ve been her best game

9 days left on BackerKit. I would love it if you'd check out our Dark Double Feature designed for use with Shadowdark RPG. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/3...

Let's track the character sheet for Band-Aids & Bullet Holes over the course of design. "But wait," you say. "The game doesn't have a character sheet!" Well then this should be extra interesting.

Gonna be doing an AMA about my new book SKULLBOY'S ILLUSTRATED GUIDE TO DEMONS in the OSE fan discord discord.gg/8GVfus9fV3 Thursday, May 21st at from 9-11am EST. I'll post about it again before it happens too.

There’s a screen shot going around with an email claiming to be from me. It is not. (a) I don’t write that way. I use coherent grammar. (b) I don’t preach that way (c) To hell with transphobia, racism, homophobia, and xenophobia (d) Check the headers on crazy emails, “From” has been spoofed.
