Well, I finally broke down and made hardcover versions of the Cairn 2e Warden's Guide. It looks pretty good! You can get it from Lulu right now, or you can wait for it to show up on DTRPG. www.lulu.com/shop/yochai-...

My Gary Con was incredible this year and a highlight was when Yochai said "Fuck you." to me before he handed me a Cairn press business card. I know I bothered him, Brad, Sam, and their friends on my way to dinner, so I tried to make my interaction quick. You guys rule, keep up the great work!

Gary Con 18 was a lot of fun. Here is a quick recap of some happenings there.

The only thing cooler than attending a con dedicated to the niche part of an already niche hobby is perhaps watching a niche OSR RPG podcast live at a 8am on a Friday! Thanks for coming, Jason!

For any folks at Gary Con tomorrow (Mar 20) @bradkerr.net, @betterlegends.bsky.social and I are doing a "live" show at 8am. Come see us! We will release podcast and video versions of the show. tabletop.events/conventions/...

Had to quickly sketch out this eel with a man's face after hearing @yochaigal.bsky.social talk about how eels look like they have a person's face on Between Two Cairns

I want to stumble through a fairy gate. #OSR #TTRPG

Wow @coorac.bsky.social I finally received Castle of the Veiled Queen and I have to say it might be the nicest looking module I've ever seen. Paper quality, format, art, presentation, etc are top-notch.

Apparently all of my adventures on DriveThruRPG are 25% off right now, so... have at them! #osr #ttrpg #Shadowdark www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Does anyone know of a paid version of the When We Were Wizards podcast? These ads are not a good experience. They appear in the middle of people talking without warning and ruin the experience. If they setup a web shop with a single season payment I would be so happy.

17 hours and $38 to go to double the goal and unlock a free OSE PDF conversion for all backers! If you havent jumped in with the Valley of Lune yet, why not now? Feel free to ask me anything about the project! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hil... #Cairn2e #ZineQuest #OSR #Indie #Zine

Oh look! There's the cover (more or less final) for my next Old-School Essentials adventure: "He Who Claimed the Sun"! Coming soon(ish). #OSE #OSR #TTRPG

36 Hours to go on the Valley of Lune, a complete wilderness region for Cairn 2e! Here's a peek at the smallest dungeon in the area, The Vault of the Dreamless. #OSR #Cairn #TTRPG #ZineQuest www.kickstarter.com/projects/hil...

I've released the text of the Cairn Press Creator Agreement as CC-BY-SA 4.0. Obviously you should do what I did and pay a lawyer before using it! But I hope it helps others. Find it here: cairnpress.ink#terms

I have been toying around with this concept for YEARS. Glad someone finally beat me to it: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sto...

I've launched 4 (very) successful TTRPG crowdfunding campaigns in as many years. One like = one no-nonsense take on indie TTRPG crowdfunding.

Cairn: Barebones Edition is available in Hardback, Perfect Bound, Stapled, and Coilbound from Lulu! And they all look great! www.lulu.com/search?sortB...

Weekly review! It's Swamp World from @bradkerr.net ! I go on a bit about how much one should try to fit in a pamphlet, but this thing really is great to read, and I expect I'll bring it to the table later this year. #TTRPG #OSR blog.catshavenolord.page/review-swamp...

I now sell perfect-bound copies of Cairn: Barebones Edition on the Cairn Store! These are slightly-higher quality than the Lulu prints, but otherwise identical. store.cairnrpg.com/products/cai...
