Check out this 2 hour interview/chat I did with @thedungeonplunger.bsky.social where we talk about... pretty much everything RPG. It was a lot of fun talking as he's trying to keep up with my ADHD ass that's bouncing all over the place. youtu.be/p_F5lduKeOI?...

Just got back from PAXU and feeling energized, inspired, and ready to create something? I have some opportunities that might interest you! I'm hitting the ground running on a new project, The Lands Remaining, and there are ways to get involved. Details in the thread! (Art by PK Ashur)

An under sung gem of a book, full of humor, really fun art, a solid faction system with cool job roles to expand character's, a wealth of random tables full of campaign and character details, and a Bitchin' Battle Balloon. What more can folks want, honestly..

Fighting #PAXUnplugged FOMO the only way I can; coffee, music, & adventure writing. Sure looks like this year was bangerarang though.. LE SIGH. LE MEOW. Today's work jamz.

In all mediums of communication (stories, poems, songs, comics, paintings, games, etc) we're hungry for another person's true lived experience that contends with narratives programmed into us by society that aren't in our interests, and with other ways society uses and abuses us.

For anyone that was able to check out #Daggerheart at PAX Unplugged this year and is interested in learning more, we recently did an article with Darrington Press all about how to get the most out of your first Daggerheart experience! 🦤🤘 darringtonpress.com/so-youre-thi...

Remember: Character inspiration can come from anywhere.

Writers! Particularly TTRPG writers, but anyone comfortable with fantasy: The Gauntlet Pitch Day is coming December 6th! Details at the link below. www.gauntlet-rpg.com/pitch-day.html

OMG wait, WHUT.. This is a real thing? Why do I think @darringtonpress.bsky.social is responsible for this... www.feardaddy.com

Even if I didn't like Draw Steel, I would want to run it at the table just to build and use this incredible initiative tracking system @alphastream.bsky.social invented. alphastream.org/index.php/20...

On the heels of the super amazing #Daggerheart news from #Pax, wanted to issue a little #SelfPromoSaturday - we're a Daggerheart podcast that has been playing since the first public playtest and publishing since before the official launch. I'd love it if you gave our long-form #ttrpg show a try.

Daggerheart panel begins. Will be live-posting here. #paxunplugged

Liam Lynch's Goat Rap is honestly a vastly underappreciated work of fine art.

Oh look!

Here's an interesting blog post about RPGs other the D&D, what they do, and how different systems support and demand different sorts of play. Thirty years ago, this is what I wanted to see one day: lots of story-oriented RPGs on the shelves. sagaofthejasonite.wordpress.com/2025/07/24/b...

REALLY great experience. Go buy the game. Right up with Alice is Missing. High praise from me.

an image from each of the 3 main artists working on my Daggerhearht supplement Hope Springs Eternal: @nightjargames.bsky.social @haclif.bsky.social and Kalin Kadiev. I think I picked well!

"The gobling king: King Grol!" "Like... Dave Grohl?" “…Yes. Dave Grohl.”

I'll be running an adventure using Tea Time Adventuresc from. @snowbrightstudio.bsky.social and there's a ton of other great games with awesome GMs so check it out!

If 2025 was a person.

Exciting (long) new video coming on the channel next week with @mikerunderwood.bsky.social Extensive discussion on Desgining Adventures in Daggerheart, and what they may look like moving forward.

So this little stage show they're doing rules and it's wildly surreal to witness in a mall.

BÖRK BÖRK, an apocalyptic fantasy TTRPG where you play cleaver-wielding Swedish chefs fighting monstrous chickens.

Slowed down midweek with a head cold, but feeling better. Gonna squeeze in some after hours Friday night Daggerheart dungeon-writing before I catch that sneaky stealth drop of Mighty Nein ep1 . Cheers and 1d4 Hope to everyone out there. Tonight's music: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd4z...

I added some community copies! Grab em before they are gone! #daggerheart

Roleplaying can be shockingly intimidating, but there is an effective way to get into the mindset of your character. One that Daggerheart teaches outright. Let’s dive into how Daggerheart teaches better roleplay, and how that can be applied to other games. youtu.be/lQtJBa18emo?...

One of the Hidden Benefits(tm) of being a writer is when you have insomnia it can now be -productive- ... Truly a miracle.

Gonna have a monnntaaage...

10 years ago 6 foster kids were pulled out of the wreckage of a house in Sayer, MA. Now they find themselves in Korea...where the final chapter begins. Join us at 8PM EST for THE SAYER HOUSE SIX, featuring Monster of the Week by @evilhat.bsky.social, as we raise money for @feedingamerica.org!

We have updated our Affinity Publisher 1-2 templates to include a small doc on how *we* prepare our files for print! They are extremely basic, but have all the right dimensions for you not to worry that something gets cut off! wendigoworkshop.itch.io/free-affinit...

Had so much fun hanging out with the @dodoborne.com folks tonight for their 1 year anniversary stream! They had the chat make a PC and run through a quick wild encounter, coping with every crazy idea we threw at them. Mad improv skills, was a total riot! Thanks for hosting Dodos! <3 Congrats!!

Just penned my favorite monster tagline I've written in weeks.. "Bloated spectral backup singers drumming the ghostly barrels they died wearing." I love TTRPGS. Okay, back to the write-a-thon. Today's music, the ever jamming Book Club Radio. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_ed...

The Ted Turner colorization of some of my select entries of "Stuff I Did in the 80s" continues. With the upcoming end of MTV, this one seems especially poignant to us Gen Xers and fans of all things 80s.📼

This Saturday, 11/15, join me and @blackgirlmage.bsky.social, @dreamwisp.bsky.social, @themightyjerd.bsky.social and @urbanbohemian.com as we play D&D and raise funds in support of our neighbors who are being threatened with harassment, assault and kidnapping in the name of immigration enforcement.

Apocalypse World taught me a lot about RPG design, and I'm excited to try the new edition. @lumpley.bsky.social has taught me many things over the years, and it's thrilling to see the success that he and @megueyb.bsky.social have achieved. www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

The biggest challenge with long writing sessions; picking the right music that has just enough juice to placate the ADHD brain gremlins, but doesn't draw their attention enough to derail everything. Today's pick.

Boldly Not Going where farmgirls from Kansas have gone before.

Seattle is a blessed place. Truly, the Shire of America.

Exactly one month to go! I prepared a small overview of the 5 Daggerheart campaign frames in Hope Springs Eternal. Help us beat yesterday's incredible total of 0 new followers! 🤪

In this week’s newsletter, we delve into legendary territory. The year was 1977…with STORMBRINGER, I completed work on the Elric Saga and received my first World Fantasy Award nomination. theartofmichaelwhelan.substack.com/p/1977-year-...

"Game designers will routinely fail at making something fun. When the game of making games is played right, it is always right outside the edge of what the designers know how to do." Incredible quote from an amazing article. Something I'm only beginning to understand 10+ years in to designing.
