Hi new Twitter refugees! I’m a game publisher at @koboldpress.com and an occasional designer. I’m currently working on an Open Call for new TTRPG designers, which will be part of the upcoming Night Hunters project. #ttrpg

What are kobold alchemists and trap makers if not engineers? :)

Engineers … I smell autocorrect

You will be visited by three spirits

the boys are playing with their new pokemon cards (of course) and once again I am amused at the duality of pokemon “here is a giant spiky dragon with unstoppable powers” “here is a dachsund made out of pastries. its name is dachsbun”

READ THIS: Still probably the best #ChristmasEve tradition I’ve heard. Iceland definitely does Christmas well — my Reykjavik clients had funny comments about this! Are you planning to curl up with a great new book on cities this #Christmas? Share your pick with us using hashtag #UrbanismBookClub!

It's funny how us parochial Americans generally seem to perceive that the EV revolution is stalling or reversing when in fact it's accelerating rapidly worldwide. 25% of cars sold globally in 2025 were EVs! It's mostly just the US that's being left behind

DAY14 of Kobold Press ADVENT(ure) Calendar! Magnificence in Silver is a 26-page PDF adventure suitable for 4–5 players of 7th level. The gleam of something precious draws dark powers to a prosperous mining village in this adventure for the ToV roleplaying game! bit.ly/Magnificence...

Walk lightly and summon a powerful fireball with these blog-exclusive subclasses from the upcoming Player's Guide 2! bit.ly/4p0z9Cs

So reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) can't fly, but they are VERY MAGICAL. For example, their EYES CHANGE COLOR during the year & they're one of the few large mammals that can see UV. Golden brown in summer, deep blue in winter. Let's talk about the unique visual adaptations of Rudolph and company.

It was all going so well, until one haphazard event sent the whole RiverBank RPG crew running. Read how a devilish encounter inspired one unhinged session of RiverBank! bit.ly/3KSNrHo

Happy solstice my secular friends!

What’s the best holiday gift? 1. cloak of many pockets 2. basket of banned books 3. bejeweled dueling dagger 4. solid gold library card

Writing a blog post about the realities of publishing games for sale in the holiday rush. Double checking my dates and … yeah, it is a miracle the game shops are so well stocked. The timelines are tricky.

Kobold Press is heralding Hastening Doom, a massive megadungeon crowdfunding campaign. Mega Dungeon Month features contributions from an incredible array of publishers, including Monte Cook Games, Ghostfire Gaming, and more! Keep your blades (and your wits) sharp! bit.ly/490SbCy

❄️ DAY 11 of Kobold Press ADVENT(ure) Calendar!  ❄️ Wastes of Chaos brings you everything you need to create hard-hitting adventures in ruined lands. This includes multiple new races, subraces, subclasses, cults, creatures and more! ❄️ Get it here: bit.ly/WasteOfChaosKPAC2025

Shop's open! houndsaint.etsy.com Dec 17th is USPS's cutoff date for holiday shipping this year!

It is crunch time in the holiday shipping business. My sincere regards to the hardworking logistics people who somehow make it happen this time of year.

What happened to the squad at the end feels about right to us, under the circumstances. Yikes.

Those Warlock Grimoires ( and the zines they collect ) are some of my favorite TTRPG work on my shelves. I put in a shelf above my desk so I could refrench the Zines I was able to track down from before my subscription, and I have all four of the Grimoires close at hand.

This collection of 5E player options, creatures, items, and a bit of lore is a steal. Worth it for the Baba Yaga section alone.

If you are interested in playtesting my browser game, The Veiled City, you can join the Discord here. I plan to launch a week long beta for the current state tomorrow at noon central: discord.gg/CKUZ7KHA

❄️ DAY 9 of Kobold Press ADVENT(ure) Calendar!  ❄️ This 5th Edition adventure for 1st-level characters is a perfect introduction to the Southlands campaign setting, and it fits neatly into any desert city where cats are sacred and rats are cautious and sly. ❄️ bit.ly/FREEPDFCatMouseKPAC2025

@koboldpress.com @wolfgangbaur.bsky.social Hey! Just a heads-up that I include a fair few Tome of Beasts I monsters in my latest Ravenloft video (as you'll see in the thumbnail!): www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_mq...

Some lovely suggestions from @wolfgangbaur.bsky.social for where to find good art at any budget point. If you can't commission something famous and new, have you reached out to art students? Creators with back catalog works looking for a large audience? There are many trees to shake in publishing!

Just noting that no one is ever going to seize a tanker full of solar energy www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

You could be someone's light in the darkness. An anglerfish drawing them towards your toothy maw, or a witch-light in the forest, leading them towards their mossy doom.

at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

This classic RuneQuest/Glorantha supplement changed the way I design RPGs. The "cult initiate" concept in RQ became the "wizards' houses" of Ars Magica, then Vampire's clans, then all the factions in the '90s-era RPGs. Hard to part with. Lots of old stuff on eBay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...

Scientists were amazed to discover a 507-year-old clam that was already 100 in Shakespeare’s day, but why did it live so long and what can we learn from it?

This dark project by @unfetteredmuse.bsky.social and @cconowitch.bsky.social is going to shred some old ideas about Gothic horror. And of course there is a blood-soaked launch exclusive…

Today's installment of The December Comfort Watches looks at 2005's The Kingdom of Heaven, which exists in two significantly different versions. Why do these different versions exist, and which version do I prefer? It's all at the link. whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/08/t...
