Today I retire from Wizards of the Coast after 28 years. With D&D’s 50th anniversary wrapping up and the revised rulebooks doing gangbusters, this is the perfect fairytale ending for me. I can’t wait to enjoy D&D purely as a fan again, knowing the game is in good hands. See you in the Feywild!

Happy 269th Level Up Day Mozart!

I didn’t know #dnd stamps were issued in the UK until @icotom.icopartners.com surprised me with these! What a lovely gift. Thank you!

Apparently I need to pay my intern more. I just discovered Ginger has a side gig.

A short threat on my most used cheat sheets for #dnd5e. I've always got at least one copy of each of these on my table! First off, this great sheet summarizing ability scores/checks! #dungeonsanddragons #dnd

We’ve played an early version of Dead of Darkness. It’s a 2D survival horror with a great atmosphere, fun puzzles, and the potential to truly shine. We can’t wait for the final version! Full review here 👉 survivalhorrors.com/dead-of-dark... #DeadOfDarkness #SurvivalHorror

Yesterday we announced that we are doing a Kickstarter for STARS REACH. We're doing this because the climate for games investment is terrible. We've raised a lot of money, and expect to keep raising. Being able to show support from players helps. Even a Follow goes a long way:

I really enjoyed the new Nosferatu! It went right to the top of my 2024 Holiday Horror Movie Tier List!

Gathering supplies to see the new #Nosferatu

A list of causes of death in London, as per the Bill of Mortality for 1725. It is worth noting that 27 people died from "Evil", 17 people died from "Grief", while 563 people died from "Griping in the Guts". Only one person was "Killed with a Sword" I wonder how this can inspire #dnd props?

PSA: For anyone planning on seeing the new #Nosferatu, a 1922 version is available for free on YouTube #vampire youtu.be/kA8Lla2mmQE?...

Merry Christmas!

Eight years ago today, I got myself an early Christmas present #dnd

Speaking of research for #dnd props, I’m thrilled to have gotten this book

Souvenir from our trip to the US #dnd #philately

Hey @emmalarkins.bsky.social look what I was able to find in Port Townsend!

Five years ago I learned when making these #dnd props that caffeine is transdermal and that I should use decaf for weathering!

Happy Sunday! If you are thinking of designing #dnd paper props, I’d recommend starting with research. IMO so many crazy things you can find out, which can serve as great inspiration! For example, early 1700s banknotes which informed my #BaldursGate notes #ephemera #dungeonsanddragons

🎉We are excited to announce the Xylem Studios Charity Dev-Stavaganza! 🎉🎄🎄🎄 For 24 hours on Dec 19th, we will be livestreaming games to raise money for Extra Life, with guests from @megacrit.com, @mobiusdigitalgames.bsky.social, @bippinbits.bsky.social, and more! Art by @undeadmel.bsky.social

Aging more #dnd props yesterday. After putting them in the laundry dryer with wet towels, I put them in a decaf coffee mixture and then into the oven to dry at 250F

This is both a beautiful object as well as inspiration for my #dnd props: Spanish manuscript, painted on vellum, c1610 #dungeonsanddragons #prop #reference

This is why when people ask me about how to run a successful Patreon, I tell them they need to offer a sustainable content output mixed with specific language that let's people know it's more about supporting them as an artist than it is just getting content or access. I offer access to my entire-

Tidying up this afternoon and when cleaning this plate I saw that this Christmas will the 50th anniversary of my mom making it as a gift for me (way back in 1974). At the time, she was reading The Hobbit to me. #thehobbit

Very happy to have found this cheque from the Bank of British Columbia for $73.34 from Oct 23, 1884. Not only is it a lovely but of #Victoria BC history, but it is also a great reference for making #dnd #ttrpg props

I guess you could call me a Sword Coast notaphilist. Notaphily is the study and collection of paper currency, and banknotes. A notaphilist is a collector of banknotes or paper money, particularly as a hobby.

Waterdeep broadsheets from my home games. The first is from 1032 DR, shortly before Ahghairon becomes the first Lord of Waterdeep. Then many are from 1492 DR. Finally, there are two from 1619 DR when my current campaign is set. #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. DM: The cup appears to be an ordinary metal chalice — possibly bronze or copper. A pungent odor emanates from a viscous fluid occupying approximately half of the vessel's cavity. Does anyone wish to sip, drink, or touch the liquid?

This indenture from the reign of Charles II in the 1600s brings me much joy and inspires my #dnd props #ephemera

Okay this is the terrifying story of how I made a bad decision and drove around in a bomb cyclone (I don't care if that name sounds sensational and everyone's wringing their hands about it, I am of an age where I like to say "BOMB" like I am twenty again. BOMB CYCLONE) 🧵
