All the books I ordered last week just arrived! Can't wait to pour myself a drink, relax, be too tired to read and play around on my phone all night

Good morning, Bluesky. Not gonna lie—it’s been a heavy stretch lately. The news doesn’t let up, and some days feel like a boss fight before coffee. If you’re feeling it too, you’re not alone. Let’s take it slow today, breathe a little deeper, and handle what we can. #selfcare

For all you aspiring RPG writers and editors out there, this might help you get noticed.

#GenCon post 3/4: selfies! 1. At the @startplaying.bsky.social party Friday night. I only had about 1/2 hour here before running to 2. The Ennies! Thanks to my friend Ben, I was able to attend and got a seat with Free League publishing! 3. Saturday was all about D&D Live! 4. Running ToV games!

Gen Con 2024 pictures post 2/? This post: People! @ajaxdm.bsky.social's lunch before the big event, with Devon from @startplaying.bsky.social giving great advice (and a big thumbs up), helping run Twistwarden Abbey with Ben of @gamingconventions.bsky.social, and #freeleaguepublishing at the Ennies!

In celebration of Gen Con's event list going live (I know it was yesterday, I was busy running a 6+ hour game, leave me be), here's some pictures of last year's Gen Con.

Mechanic: Game structures outside dice point to "do ridiculous shit, hard". GM calls for dice rolls when characters act like lunatics. Dice results are the GM's catastrophe budget, spent on terrible problems, including "you fail". Bad stats, bad idea = d20. Good stats, good plan = d4.

Remembering Sir Terry Pratchett on his birthday. GNU #PTerry #Discworld "Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?" We really do need more people in the world right now who have Terry's words in their heart.

I know y'all remember Goosebumps, but does anyone else remember these?!

I've worked with these folks @koboldpress.com before, they're great!

My players in my Waterdeep: Dragon Heist game threw a party to celebrate the grand opening of their new tavern, Fireheart's (formerly Trollskull Manor)! I'm such a lucky DM to play with these folks.

Hey folks! I'll be running an officially sponsored Kobold Press game this Saturday at 7PM EST on Roll20! Sign up below if you want to play with us! discord.com/channels/941...

My cancer is in remission. The bills from fighting it are very much active. Every dollar helps. www.gofundme.com/help-owen-kc...

Didn't sleep well last night. Call me Paarthurnass, because my ass is draggin'.

Sir Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series and my favourite writer, died 10 years ago today. I'm going to be reading the last Discworld book for the first time. I've read the others dozens of times, but not that one. I didn't want the story to end. GNU Terry Pratchett.

I got my hands on some old *Dragon* magazines (circa 2004) and every page is like getting mugged by nostalgia. Which is weird, because I didn't have money for magazines in 2004, but nostalgic all the same.

I'm Canadian. With everything going on in the US (particularly steel tariffs on my country) I won't be going to Gen Con this year. I'll miss my friends and the amazing times, but it's more important to stand up to bullies than to have fun. And the bullies can be beat. They have been every time.

I spent my Saturday at the D&D Immersive Experience in Mississauga! Had a blast!

D&D Adds Two New Books to 2025 Slate, Including New Eberron Book: Wizards of the Coast is adding two Dungeons & Dragons books to its 2025 slate, including Eberron: Forge of the Artificer in August and an unnamed mystery book in October. Eberron: Forge of the Artificer will include the… #ttrpg #dnd

Let's do a #FollowFriday and recognize new folks in the #ttrpgcommunity! 🧡 LOVE & REPOST 🚀 FOLLOW & FOLLOW BACK @ten2midnight.bsky.social @quillofdamocles.bsky.social @variantventures.bsky.social @greedygorgonpress.bsky.social @bedtimegames.bsky.social @canoedm.bsky.social

Hands up everyone who zooms in on every picture posted with a bookshelf in the background to check out the books

One thing I do wish is that, years ago, someone would have told me D&D was basically improv where you make a silly little critter, throw on a silly little voice, and cause as much chaos as you’d like

I'm thrilled to be a part of @startplaying.bsky.social Wildfire Recovery Fund drive! I'll be hosting a Humblewood game Saturday Jan. 25 at 8 pm EST, all proceeds go to charity! You can join here (must have a startplaying account to sign up) startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

We still have a couple seats available for #Waterdeep Year in the Big City campaign! Immerse yourself in the sights and seasons of the greatest city in fantasy as you search for the biggest score ever. Outwit abominations and deal with devil worshippers Fridays at 7PM EST! bit.ly/4aEaK09

Greatest bestiary I've ever seen, and it's not even close. Skerples' "The Monster Overhaul" is a system neutral bible of fresh takes on B/X classic monsters with way more practical mechanics and countless possibilities and variants. Those even flirting with the OSR need to own this thing.

ok but Count Dracula just bringing a bunch of soil on the ship with him was an amazing bit of supernatural rules lawyering and we only take it for granted because Dracula is an incredibly old book

Hey folks! We have 1 seat left for our epic Waterdeep: Dragon Heist game starting on January 3rd! Follow the clues as the city moves around you, encountering memorable villains and citizens of the greatest city on the Sword Coast! startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

This fae propaganda has gone too far.

Spending the afternoon reading my personal white whale. Thank you @ajaxdm.bsky.social for the gift, I love it!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah everyone!

Writing is a lot like weight training. You won't be able to lift a lot at first. You start small. Short session, light weights. Day by day though you get just a *little* stronger. Eventually your sessions get longer, the bars get heavier, and everyone says "I could never do that." Just like you did.

Equip your characters for battle, easily! Drag & drop weapons, magic items, and potions right onto your D&D Character Sheet. Your stats will automatically update to reflect your inventory. No more stressing about what bonuses and effects you get. We got you. 👌
