My stretch goal for @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social & @jedediahberry.bsky.social's Valley of Flowers sequel is UNLOCKED! I'm excited to write a guide on how to run their newest book, The Saintly Hollows, using Shadowdark. The campaign has 7 days left, but why wait? www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

On sale for $2.99 in Canada and the US. For the whole month. openroadmedia.com/ebook/salon-...

these subtitles blew my mind when i saw them, just like the many little literary miracles that are all over wildendrem. find these here: phantom-mill.itch.io/rere-regarda..., and find the kickstarter for THE SAINTLY HOLLOWS here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

a cool part in poetry is that your title is included in the poem. in rpg design, think about abilities, picklists, and roll tables like poems, and experiment with the title and subtitle. for example, look at this picklist from @jedediahberry.bsky.social and @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social.

Dear @bradkerr.net, I have to tell you this LUCE DEL GIORNO is getting downright INSOPPORTABILE.

Stainless by Todd Grimson is a 1996 vampire novel reprinted by McNally Editions, and more than worthy of rediscovery. A washed up rocker becomes a vampire's familiar in seedy 90s LA. Disturbing, sexy, funny, and sometimes even romantic, this is a great vampire story, but also a great LA story.

Rough math: 12.3% of Americans (41.7 mil) are about to lose SNAP. Many food banks produce 3 meals per $1, so a November worth of meals for one costs $30. Round it up to $35 for asst. costs & hygiene products. If 13% of us donate $35 each to food banks, we can get everyone through Nov! #EndHunger 🥙💪

We are on our way to the last stretch goal! Sure would be cool to have @willjobst.bsky.social and @nightnoon.games write up those conversion kits for Mythic Bastionland and Shadowdark. For the Knight-Friends! And the Night-Fiends!

Excited to be heading to Italy later this week for the Lucca Comics & Games Festival! I also have appearances scheduled for Bologna and Rome next week. More details on my Italian publisher's site: fazieditore.it/eventi/jeded...

these are technically year-round neighborhood decorations but it's close enough to halloween that they deserve some love

Q: Where do you see yourself in five years? A:

Here's a free little zine of character backgrounds for Wildendrem, featuring illustrations by @amandalee.bsky.social. Compatible with Cairn, Old-School Essentials, or the tabletop adventure game of your choice. #ttrpg #osr phantom-mill.itch.io/rere-regarda...

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

What a great list. Thanks for bringing me to the party, @kristinaten.bsky.social!

The cover for my next novel, DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP, lives! Book due out on 6/30/26. people.com/paul-trembla...

Congratulations to Vajra Chandrasekera (@vajra.me), recipient of the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction for Rakesfall! Chandrasekera's book was chosen by authors Matt Bell, Indra Das, Kelly Link, Sequoia Nagamatsu, and Rebecca Roanhorse.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I love the lists of words compiled by copy editors. Here's a sampling from the style sheet for KILL ALL WIZARDS.

Y’all signed up for this yet?

Got milk (of the stolen moon’s twelve pools, and buckets with which to bear its radiance into the depths of the saintly hollows)?

So close to unlocking character sheets drawn by yours truly ✨

turns out you can find some of william morris's speeches on the internet archive and they are entirely worth the reading "how can we bear to use, how can we enjoy something which has been a pain and a grief for the maker to make?"

Already partway to our next stretch goal: custom character sheets by the very excellent @alderdoodle.bsky.social!

The fight against fascism is the fight for immigrants, trans people, the disabled, and all vulnerable populations. Otherwise, you’re aligning with fascism’s goals.

I finished KILL ALL WIZARDS yesterday and it's difficult to articulate just how much it rips. A rapid-fire deluge of cleverness crafted with uncommon intensity and care. Seek it out in 2026 or be very sad indeed.

I wrote another adventure. It's free. It's a forestcrawl. Get it!

We're so back

"New Far Side comics" was definitely not on my bingo card for this week. They're not bad! www.thefarside.com/new-stuff/

Wow ok unfollowing now. I loved him as a loyal butler, did not know he was an unreliable narrator

On November 20th I'll join Sarah Smith, @lisaborders.bsky.social, @todd-milo.bsky.social, @michellehooverauth.bsky.social, Emily Franklin, and others for a memorial reading in honor of Esmond Harmsworth at @portersqbooks.bsky.social. You can RSVP here: portersquarebooks.com/event/2025-1...

Love Dan C, love the novel, and love this

One very cool thing is that @queerwizard.co.uk will be creating the map for this volume. And if we can reach our next stretch goal, every copy of The Saintly Hollows will include a poster of said map. Really hoping we can make this happen!

I come to you this morning to say nice things about @jedediahberry.bsky.social's KILL ALL WIZARDS, out next year, which is inventive and irreverent in ways that remind me of the work of a certain @scottlynch78.bsky.social...

They made me reach so far to touch the sign! It's a good sign, though.

The gorgeous signed illustrated edition of THE BRIGHT SWORD goes on sale tomorrow grimoakpress.com/products/the...

My group really loved me running the original Valley of Flowers, so this was an EASY back. PLUS, I'm a stretch goal! If the campaign reaches $60,000 (a slam dunk), I'll be writing guidance for running this bad boy using Shadowdark!!!

Went out to get my flu and covid shots, came back to find we are fully funded!? Wow! Thank you, all!

Having a blast working on art for this game. They have some amazing stuff planned! #osr

it’s here! so excited to pick this up. ps, if we hit the 60k stretch goal, all my secrets for running Valley of Flowers with Mythic Bastionland will be revealed.

So excited to share the Kickstarter for Wildendrem Volume Two: The Saintly Hollows, my ongoing tabletop RPG collaboration with @andrewmcalpine.bsky.social. We have so much fun writing these, and people seem to like playing them too. #osr #ttrpg www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

Alright, who's going to be our 666th follower? We've decided to launch this thing as soon as you arrive 😈 www.kickstarter.com/projects/626...

There's! a! new! Virago! edition! of Naomi Mitchison's Travel Light coming next spring with a new introduction by @samanthashannon.bsky.social — and of course blurbs from @amalelmohtar.com, @hollyblack.bsky.social, & @ursulakleguin.com. (I'm yet to find an artist credit for the fabulous cover.)

One of my favorite Halloween time paintings by Fragonard -- The Magician

I got it really bad once, in the fall of 1983.

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning: www.burnsnotice.com/you-have-to-...

Launching on Tuesday! Excited to share what we've been cooking up here.

In between rallies and pickets and bargaining, we’ve been trying to highlight live Kickstarter projects our workers love on this page! Without access to our tools, we’re doing this manually but we wanted to highlight folks who support us on their projects! kickstarterunited.org/projects-our...
