George sent me the colors for a new Huckleberry monster this morning and I just had to share the magic with y'all. Created by @erenahn.bsky.social for our upcoming scenario "Magnum Opus", this is a dinosaur fossil that's been reanimated by parasitic pyrite. What a great combination of words, right?

10 anime to know my taste: - Berserk - Magic Knight Rayearth - Flame of Recca - Read or Die - Neon Genesis Evangelion - Dragonball Z - Gundam Wing - FLCL - Escaflowne - Rurouni Kenshin

Ah, for the days of four episodes per VHS.

Incredible work from everyone involved!

The next encounter in Dark Heart of the Wood for Draw Steel has been added into the Codex. @hellomcdm.bsky.social patrons can download the encounter in the Codex and run it at their next session. Happy gaming!

It's out! And it's glorious.

Nearly done with Robin Hobb's "Mad Ship" and the inevitable has come to pass: my next ttrpg campaign will be (has to be) a seafaring adventure.

Has it really been that long?

Give it a listen! @riseheroesrise.bsky.social is SO close to funding.

“I think,” Tehanu said in her soft, strange voice, “that when I die, I can breathe back the breath that made me live.”

Dark Heart is out today! This is my first release as lead designer so I’m very excited. I can’t wait to hear how people find it!

The wilderness should feel dangerous. We’re reimagining classic fantasy monsters for Draw Steel that reinforce that danger. As rewards after the encounter heroes can harvest monster parts and craft consumable treasures. Launching March 1: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti... #drawsteel

I know that I can't sleep forever.

Macbeth: SHIT

You were moved to do this by pride and by hate. Is it any wonder the result was ruin?

The Old Powers of earth are not for men to use. They were never given into our hands, and in our hands they work only ruin. Ill means, ill end. I was not drawn here, but driven here, and the force that drove me works to my undoing.

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

I don't think enough people are aware of the talent and beauty of CLAMP's Magic Knight Rayearth.

Goblin Points is back with his monthly Jon de Nor news roundup! Especially tune in this month for accent work and corvid commentary.

The #Kiln stretch goal is officially crushed! Every extra $500 from here, we'll do another big art page with fiction, but this was the big stretch goal. Treasures, VTT Tokens, maybe a codex implementation (I will try, but no promises). 22 hours left! #DrawSteel www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

Last chance to back THE KILN player class for draw steel on backerkit! Just about 48 hours left, with $400 to go for the stretch goal (treasures, big art, maybe codex?) #Kiln #DrawSteel www.backerkit.com/c/projects/l...

In today's episode of The Dice Society podcast, I talk about another RPG being made by MCDM: Crows! Watch on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcatcher ⚔️ #DrawSteel #TTRPG youtu.be/oXn3rJ5EV98

Screaming Metal: Vector Soul is a mecha ttrpg about toxic lesbians piloting living machines for exorbitant amounts of money so they can live lavish lifestyles before being torn to shreds by the poisonous arms of hyperspace. Solo or competitive~ www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

"It's impossible to say, when we compare all sons of men, which one is least cowardly-- there's many a bold man who's never bloodied a sword in another man's chest." (Fáfnismál, stanza 24, from my translation of the Old Norse Poetic Edda boulderbookstore.net/signed-jacks... )

Today's writing jams.

You can pre-order the adventure here! the-cave-of-amber-tears.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

It's been a while since I mentioned it, but progress on the Cave of Amber Tears is going well. @thoughtographic.bsky.social is absolutely killing it with his illustrations.

The Dice Society is back on! It's been a year since we last talked, and a lot has happened since then: the release of Draw Steel, Jams of the Timescape, You Meet in an Ambush, Hooked on Crafting and him writing for the Encounters book. GoblinPoints.com/2603 #drawsteel

After months of hard work and many evenings giggling as I turned wacky kobold prompts into stat blocks, I'm thrilled to announce that version 1.0 is ready! If you got it on Itch, you can download the new version from the Itch page. If you got it on Backerkit, a download email should go out soon. 🧵

Coming soon for Draw Steel - the Reliquaries of Orvab the Handless. With original art by @pbbeta.bsky.social!

Where will I be this time tomorrow?

You can find my new ancestry, the Oaklings, on Forge Steel! They have a weird ancestry trait, so there are technically two entries on Forge Steel (look for Gall Guardians). forgesteel.net

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

so don't get too comfortable. #art

(mostly telling this to myself) It's okay to spend time on frivolity. It's essential to keep making things, to keep writing, drawing, painting, playing, creating. Art is resistance. I don't know if this is 100% true, but I hope it's true. I believe it to be true.

For those who desperately want to do something to help, this link is a good place to start. www.standwithminnesota.com

There's still time to submit! Don't give up!

I've loved seeing all the Wode/forest themed ancestries!

Something COMPLICATED is happening in just a few days! Amazing cover art by @goatnokama.bsky.social
