I have "finished" my current WIP story, The Forsaken Realm. Finishing out at ~97k words. I technically still need to do another editing pass on some of the newer sections, but I can work on that while I'm querying. Very happy with how this story has evolved. #writing #writingcommunity

Book 9 of 2026: Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb. The 3rd book in the Fitz and the Fool trilogy. 9/10. This is a good book, albeit not the ending I would've hoped for Fitz and the Fool. I do feel like this was clearly the last "Elderling" book, so Hobb tries to fit in things like Althea, Brashen 1/8

Book 8 of 2026: The Trials of Empire by Richard Swan. The 3rd book in the Empire of the Wolf series. 7.5/10. I kept waiting for this book to take the next step into being amazing, but instead it just continued to hover around good. There's so much setup leading into this last book, and I felt 1/4

Had our first negotiation with this group of players last night. It went fine, but definitely could've been better. The players didn't really take their opportunities beforehand to learn much about what the orc chieftain wanted. So it made the negotiation a bit too ambiguous. I'm not sure what I

Now that the 2nd Jam of the Timescape is over. I'm back to working on what I'm calling "Class Perks" for Draw Steel. Class Perks are fun, out of combat flair-like abilities to help give Draw Steel heroes more unique options out of combat. These are like your Druidcraft, Prestidigitation, and others.

Book 7 of 2026: Fool's Quest by Robin Hobb. The 2nd book in the Fitz and the Fool Trilogy. 9/10. I really liked this book. So much of it feels like a culmination of all the previous Elderling books. This one also is a return to Fitz at his best and is why people end up caring so much about 1/4

Hit 80k words in the 3rd draft of my current WIP. Pretty close to getting done. Should definitely finish by my 2/28 deadline. #writing #writingcommunity

Book 6 of 2026: The Tyranny of Faith by Richard Swan. Book 2 in the Empire of the Wolf series. 7.5/10. I like that Helena finally starts to take a more active role in things going on in the story. The cast of Bressinger, Vonvalt, Sir Radomir, and Heinrich works pretty well throughout the 1/3

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready! If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧵

I recently hade yet another person seem surprised by my rates: so I figured it would be good to just make them public. These may change, but my plan is they'll stay discounted from my standard rates beacuse I like working on #drawsteel projects ⚔️ Im working on some rates for Items as well, but tbd

I submitted my ancestry to the 2nd Jams of the Timescape. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Definitely the hardest art project I've ever attempted. #drawsteel schaab.itch.io/bloodmane

Book 5 of 2026: Fool's Assassin by Robin Hobb. The 1st book in the Fitz and the Fool Trilogy. 7.5/10. I love the return to Fitz's story, and it's nice to see him have some happiness for a while. I like seeing his relationship with Nettle his daughter and Nettle the Skillmistress. Chade 1/4

Book 4 of 2026: The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan. The 1st book in the Empire of the Wolf series. 7/10. Vonvalt and Bressinger are very intriguing characters, and I'm curious to see how their and Helena's relationships grow throughout the series. For about 75% of the book, Helena the POV 1/4

I'm not looking at them for obvious reasons, but WOW there's a lot of cool stuff happening in the new Timescape Game Jam. Tons of great ideas for ancestries! old.reddit.com/r/drawsteel/...

Hit 50k words in my 3rd draft of my current WIP, The Forsaken Realm. That's roughly 50% of the word count I'm shooting for. I'm in a bit of a rut, but I am still chugging forward. Goal is to be completed by Feb 28th. #writing #writingcommunity

Book 3 of 2026: Blood of Dragons by Robin Hobb. The 4th book in the Rain Wild Chronicles. 8.5/10. Hobb continues to just write beautiful prose and great stories, but after four books all leading toward a conclusion, the ending fell a bit flat for me. I expected a much bigger moment to wrap 1/3

Book 2 of 2026: Dark Age by Pierce Brown. The 5th book in the Red Rising series. 5/10. I feel like this one is going to make some people mad, but I really did not enjoy this book. There were multiple times I thought about just putting it down, but I decided to continue because I wanted to 1/5

I finished this sword. Pretty happy with how it came out. Great learning experience!

This one went a bit over my allotted time for each daily drawing, but I really like it so far. I'll have to continue this at some point. Seems like a perfect sword to turn into a Draw Steel magic weapon.

Book 1 of 2026: City of Dragons by Robin Hobb. Book 3 in the Rain Wild Chronicles. 8/10. I feel like I'm just repeating myself, but this one is again not a full self-contained story. That being said, things are actually starting to come to a head and moving towards a big finish, FINALLY. 1/3

2025 was a pretty big year for me, so here's a little recap of everything. - Read 66 books! The most I've read in a year. - Released my level 1 adventure, The Tangleblight, for Draw Steel. First time I've ever done anything like that and was a fun learning experience. - Got engaged! 1/2

Been getting back on the art train and trying to learn Krita as well. Here's a few little elementals I've done as just a test for a new Draw Steel supplement I'm working on. These are pretty rough, and the goal was to do them in less than 10 minutes. Feel free to leave feedback! #drawsteel #art

Book 66 of 2025: Dragon Haven by Robin Hobb. The 2nd book in the Rain Wild Chronicles. 8/10. This book still feels like it's not entirely a self-contained book, which I would again find frustrating if I were reading it as it was released. This is what you can do when you're a big author with 1/4

Book 65 of 2025: Dragon Keeper by Robin Hobb. The 1st book in the Rain Wild Chronicles. 7.5/10. This book really doesn't feel like a standalone book. It ends in a weird place, and it doesn't really resolve any of the story it started. I'm happy that I'm reading this after the fact, as I would 1/3

Book 64 of 2025: Iron Gold by Pierce Brown. The 4th book in the Red Rising series. 8.5/10. This book is a pretty big departure from the style of the original Red Rising trilogy. Instead of getting the story just from Darrow's perspective, we now have Ephraim, Lyria, and Lysander to expand the 1/5

Book 63 of 2025: Fool's Fate by Robin Hobb. The 3rd book in the Tawny Man trilogy. 9.5/10. This book is amazing and truly shows off Hobb's skill at writing deep and meaningful characters. The moments with Fitz and the Fool were great. We also see some significant resolution to Fitz's story, 1/5

Book 62 of 2025: The Golden Fool by Robin Hobb. The 2nd book in the Tawny Man trilogy. 8/10. Hobb does an amazing job of making the mundane things feel interesting, and I really feel like I know Fitz at this point. This book largely feels like set up for the next book, which is why I rated it 1/4

Book 61 of 2025: Morning Star by Pierce Brown. The 3rd book in the Red Rising series. 8/10. For the most part, this is a very good book. I love seeing the world expand out and the conflict turn into a war within the entire solar system. Our cast of Darrow, Mustang, Sevro, Victra, and Ragnar 1/4
