My wife said she was replacing me. It's tough to compete.

I've been messing around with some rules for Retreating in D&D/ToV for a while, and I've settled on a version I like. Feel free to use in your games!

This advice on how to restock your megadungeon (say, for HIS MAJESTY THE WORM) is great! If I had one piece of advice more, it's this: save your old content. I have a doc that's just previously-used Meatgrinder entries. After a year, what is old will be new again.

With the new year here, I wanted to highlight some of my TTRPG writing wins in 2025. It's been an exciting year!
