I hate trestles. I really do. Doesn’t keep the sun off. Doesn’t keep the rain off. Encourages birds to poop on you.

This morning we started Fury of the Forsaken by @louanders.bsky.social's Lazy Wolf Studios, using his Thrones & Bones setting. I really don't want to spoil too much, because there are a lot of fun ins and outs and mysteries that play into the plot.

I know that Disney got Marvel to change the original design of Howard the Duck because it resembled Donald too much. But now that they’re one big happy family maybe we could go back to it.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Designer Kelly Pawlik (Kobold Press / Zombie Sky Press) shows off The Bense Trilogy, featuring her adventure “Troll of the Town” and two other tales set in and around in the eponymously named Scandinavian-inspired city.

There are a million moral reasons not to use AI — theft, environmental cost, human job loss — but even from a selfish perspective, it messes with your brain? Why risk that??

A lower cost version of Fury of the Forsaken featuring just those maps appearing in the PDF/hardcover (plus a mead hall) and none of the variations of Day/Night, normal/battle has just gone up on @shardtabletop.bsky.social #ttrpg #dungeonsandragons #talesofthevaliant

Today in acquisitions

Just received my copy of the Bense Trilogy by Lazy Wolf Studios/ @louanders.bsky.social and really enjoyed the look of it. So I thought, I'd share again the cover and one of the interior pieces I did for it. © Lazy Wolf Studios Acrylics on 300g bristol paper, 325 x 250mm. Originals are available.

We've just launched the Kickstarter for my gamebook saga 'The Curse of Cthulhu Books 1 & 2'! Travel to a remote Scottish island, infiltrate a deadly cult and find the idol - or die trying! Art by @willirobertsart.bsky.social & @lyndondraws.bsky.social www.kickstarter.com/projects/sim...

There are now 11 products up featuring the Scandinavian inspired land of Norrøngard on @shardtabletop.bsky.social #dungeonsanddragons #talesofthevaliant marketplace.shardtabletop.com/m?pub=Lazy%2...

It’s Jim Cummings’ birthday! Did you know he did the audio version of Pirate’s Price by @louanders.bsky.social, which is mostly told in the first person by Hondo Ohnaka? It’s my favorite Star Wars audiobook experience!

Much drudgery this morning. Creating the Standard Edition of Fury of the Forsaken on Shard (just the maps necessary to run the adventure, no extras, lower $). Shard is very easy to use. It's just busy work. Once it's done, the Kickstarter is over, & I can refresh the well before moving on.

Fury of the Forsaken is now live on DriveThruRPG. #Norse #TTRPG #dungeonsanddragons #talesofthevaliant

Coauthor Richard Pett (Paizo, WotC, Kobold Press) shows off the hc of Fury of the Forsaken, a moody, atmospheric narrative that blends the Seven Samurai, Tolkien, Norse myth, and dreamscape horror into an unforgettable adventure. And has WORKABLE rules for mass combat #talesofthevaliant / #ttrpg .

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

In the most recent episode of Norrøngard Unscripted, our stalwart adventurers completely forget what side quest they are on and why. #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #talesofthevaliant #actualplay

We will be returnign to the live play tonight at 5:30 PST / 8:30 EST. And hopefully it will see the debut of a brand new monster! #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #actualplay www.youtube.com/@lazywolfstu...

I need my Pulitzer now, thank you.

Wow. Vaesen and Dragonbane are showing up on Roll 20. So, get them there or on Foundry? #VTT #TTRPG opinions very welcome.

I am on season 4 of Slow Horses and loving it. If you haven't heard of it, it is a show about how nasty English people are to each other. There is also some spy stuff.

Two new products from Lazy Wolf Studios just went up for sale, one a hardcover book, the other a small VTT booklet, both centered around the Scandinavian-flavored city of Bense. Check it out in the latest Lazy Wolves newsletter: #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons

Gamehole Con report: lazy-wolves.ghost.io/gamehole-con... #ttrpg #conventions

Does this happen to you?

Thrilled to see Free League is producing a new edition of Trudvang for Dragonbane. #TTRPG www.youtube.com/watch?v=er8o...

There's a quiet but slowly growing Discord for the Thrones & Bones #TTRPG setting, I'm just saying: discord.gg/HztgGvJ5GR #ttrpgcommunity

Came back from Gamehole Con to find this!

At the airport. Gamehole Con was great. I’ll be back next year most likely. #trrpg #conventions

Latest acquisitions.

playing my first game of Dragonbane in a little over an hour. #conventions #ttrpg

Latest acquisitions at Gamehole Con #ttrpg

Today I played the first 2 of 5 Wardens of the Eastern Marches organized play scenarios, and one amazing game of Vaesen. Great Gamehole Con so far.

Just played the first of five Wardens of the Eastern Marches organized play games at Gamehole Con and got this cool swag. #ttrpg #conventions

Double sided badges! Because you know no matter which way you wear your lanyard, they always turn over. Very smart. Never seen a convention do this before.

In Madison. Just had ok sushi. About to call a ride and go get my badge for #gameholecon !

RIP Drew Struzan.

Last week's Norrøngard Unscripted live play on YouTube unexplicably jumps from 15:50 to near the end, cutting out about an hour of recording. The full #TTRPG #actualplay video can't be uploaded to the "live" channel, but can be found here: youtu.be/dEeVJuUuaaw?...

Heading to Gamehole Con later today!

Super excited about this: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

Quick reminder that Christopher Columbus was considered a vile, repulsive, evil man even in his own time. His actions as governor of Spain's New World colonies landed him in prison for his cruelty and violence.

Failure is important in life. It is also important in TTRPGs. #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons

#DVPit #GN #ND #LGBT Fae, Lawyers, Royals. She married into the BRF. She got more than she bargained for. Her in-laws expect her to raise a changeling. So she wants a lawyer. She gets one. He's confused. Especially when the Fairy Queens's champion arrives to negotiate-or maybe kill-on her behalf.

Yesterday the proof copy of The Bense Trilogy, the #TTRPG hardcover of adventures set in the Norse-themed city of Bense and powered by @koboldpress.com' #TalesoftheValiant #5e system came. And it looks great!

It’s finally here! You can now buy the trade paperback of ARCHAIC, about a badass single mom who’s put in charge of a sentient island and its mythological Inhabitants. Come for the Mesopotamian goddess of the dead, stay for the 9-yr-old who saves the day w/birdwatching skills. bit.ly/Demonde

I've been doing really really tedious work on the final final last few yards of finalizing the #TTRPG books and VTTs for this Kickstarter. I am tired and ready to move on. But also really excited for folks to see it.

Of the standard 7, the d6 is my least favorite die. I’m biased subconsciously against games that only use d6.
