Rise of the Mole Men is an adventure that sees characters delve through four layers: • Westman Mill, where the invasion started • The Burrows, former home of the mole men • The Mines, abandoned silver mines • The Depths, seat of the mole king and his master #osr #ttrpg

I've never really cared that much about spoilers for things, but one thing I will regret being spoiled on for as long as I live is this guy and his battle theme. If I'd experienced it organically, I might honestly have cried. It's so peak.

I did some editing work on the Rook & the Crook. It's fantastic!

The titular Mole Men (or Mulaz) are a species of burrow-dwellers who once lived in fear of predators above and below. That was until Gruber, a powerful warlock, proclaimed himself king and rallied his people against the surface world. They're also kind of cute. #osr #ttrpg

Rise of the Mole Men has a lot of neat concept art that we'll be sharing over the next couple weeks

My next adventure, Rise of the Mole Men, releases Friday, February 13th! Delve beneath the village of Evrald to find the source of the giant insects who've been raiding the farmlands and find the sinister secrets of the deep dark. #ttrpg #osr

I wrote a short portmortem on my recent adventure, Daughter of the Well. diceaveragerpg.itch.io/daughter-of-...

Prepping games with games I've designed is weird. Half the time it's fun, and the other half is me going "what moron designed this?!" It's me. I'm the moron.

Recently started playing in a new game and got some art from @artificialjealousy.bsky.social of my character: Lucero. His hobbies are: stargazing, playing the banjo, and doing magic trickshots. #ttrpg

Releasing free shit makes way more of a difference than I would've expected No idea if it'll keep up, but writing one-page adventures is fun and being able to see any growth whatsoever from it is just a nice bonus

JACK'S FIRST FREE PRODUCT!! IF I HAVE TIME AT SOME POINT I MIGHT DO ART OF THE DAUGTHER, WHICH JACK IS MORALLY OBLIGATED TO THEN ADD TO THE ITCH PAGE :)

Daughter of the Well, the first of a monthly series of FREE one-page adventures, is available now on Itch! Venture beneath a dilapidated well to find the lost son of a wealthy patriarch. #osr #ttrpg

Just started writing the most gonzo adventure I've ever written. It's very silly.

when I talk about dnd I always mention we play with over a thousand magic items - this is why I could gush for hours about all the different spells and items which have been just as formative to my DnD experience as official stuff has

This isn't the first time I've had to post this. So I hope you understand by now that I haven't forgotten.

Arcana Esoterica has several Artifact magic items, many of which are dangerous to all who dare to try using them. The Timepiece of Klorr is a personal favourite, and I promise it's not just my Ravenloft bias talking. #dnd5e #ttrpg #dnd

The Summon spells are some of my favourite pieces of design in #dnd5e, and Arcana Esoterica fills in some of their gaps with the likes of Summon Giant, Summon Ooze, Summon Plant, and new ideas like the following: Summon Living Cantrip. #dnd #ttrpgs

Some of my favourite magic items that I've ever designed for #dnd5e are the cracked items, powerful relics with equally deadly downsides that are worth the price if you use them correctly! The Cracked Coin and Cracked Crown are my favourites. #dnd #ttrpg

With over 400 new spells, I couldn't resist making some new named spellcasters for Arcana Esoterica. These are Indalamar the Warmage's spells. #dnd #ttrpgs #dnd5e

My biggest book to date by far, Arcana Esoterica, releases on @dmsguild.com January 16th! It has over 800 new spells and magic items for #dnd5e, compatible with the 2014 and 2024 rules. Stay tuned for daily previews of my favourite content from the book! #dnd #ttrpg

Potions are an integral element of fantasy that #dnd5e has a weirdly low number of, most of which are just spell-in-a-bottle effects that aren't all that interesting. Arcana Esoterica has over 20 new Potions, including these two! #dnd #ttrpg

Man, making book layouts that actually look good instead of Vaguely Passable™ is hard

The first preview for Arcana Esoterica, a couple of my favourite spells: Attract/Repel and Tremolo! #dnd #ttrpg #dnd5e

I'm going to write so much shit this year. You can't stop me

I may be in the minority, but for me, chaos and shenanigans are not the goal at a #ttrpg table. I'm not against humor, but I love serious stories and games with stakes, and players and characters who take the secondary world and situations seriously. Just me?

Man, I fucking love Lorwyn. I wish Wales was real.

My downtime getting coffee at Dragonmeet has been very productive

Currently at Dragonmeet. If any mutuals find me in the maze, feel free to say hi 🫡

Challenging myself to write one-page #osr adventures has been good fun. I'll likely put out the first one I wrote for free fairly soon. It's called Daughter of the Well, and it's inspired by Vermis and That Bit™ from Ocarina of Time

It happened… Vagabond overtook Daggerheart last night. It’s surreal to see this

After sitting around waiting for 5 days, I have my PayPal account back. I'm officially Unfucked

Got to see something I worked on on sale in store for the first time today. Being able to show family I'm holidaying with that my #ttrpg work actually exists is nice. It was also nice to see local game stores actually stocking games other than D&D and Pathfinder.

Pretty sure PayPal have just forcibly evicted me from the industry and my only source of income. How's your Monday going?

I have some variably-scary adventures that you can get on Itch for less money than usual (50% off) for the next few days! itch.io/s/166313/dice-average-rpg-halloween-sale-2025

See, the trick is that "the GM exists for the players' amusement, whose job is to ruin their plans for fun" and "the GM rules like a king, and the players exist to be their playthings" is that these SEEM like opposite maladaptive approaches to play, but they both result in the GM doing all the work.

Recently ran the first playtest of my system, CAPE. It was a great time, but I have a lot to change. For starters, the mechanic that structure the combat system is Not Great™ (the fix should be relatively painless though) Hoping to start talking more about it come the new year!

silly that positioning yourself as better-than or fixing dnd is still an effective way of selling your game. id really like to move past the mechanical discussion of dnd and get to the critique of its owner, because one is subjective and the other is a series of abuses.

Writing the grosses and most horrible adventure I've ever put to paper. It's a trip to the circus.

This whole thing has been grassroots from day 1, and there's a Land of the Blind 3PP Creation that is so good, I had to implement it officially. Not only that, it made me want to create a path for aspiring 3PP to get their stuff in a book. I would have killed for this when I was doing D&D 3PP.

Writing adventures has become much harder. I write "Area 1a," and Nicholas Hoult is beamed into my skull like a flashbang.

Recently started playing this sad old man for @artificialjealousy.bsky.social's first long-term campaign: Marco is an old soldier with a long history and a LOT of time on the road. AJ did art of the whole party and they all came out super well.

It's finally here. 1,000 copies of Vagabond, 1,000 Basic Hero's Handbooks, and 500 GM Screens... it's done. Now we just fulfill!!! Get those orders in so I can get my garage back!!!

All three of my current system-neutral adventures: Fathomless Bounty, Where Fire Lives, and Across the Open Threshold are now available as part of a single bundle on #drivethrurpg! drivethrurpg.com/product/5350... #osr #ttrpgs

Open the door to a world of nightmares in my latest adventure: Across the Open Threshold. OUT NOW! This 50-page horror adventure features a plethora of nightmarish monsters in the mind-blending labyrinth of Terminus. Link in replies. #ttrpgs #osr
