Are you a writer or do you like the idea of writing, he thinks as he stares at dozens of notebooks with scribbles in them. Then he blogs.

I apparently have 550 followers on Bluesky via my bridged account, many of whom are interested in TTRPGs. If you're upset with the current direction of BS, why not sign up for dice.camp (or dust off your account if you were here previously)? https://dice.camp/auth/sign_up

Blogging to do now that I'm past that intense prep for one of work's largest events of the year; - Session recap for The Ferments Campaign - Stats for an Inkling Dragon, the writer's best friend - Report on my session at the conference since I used D&D to trick security people into researching […]

[dog illness] Aslan is very sick and I'm 1500 miles from home. Kristin is feeling very alone right now. It _might_ be vertigo, but it might be a stroke or worse

Tonight I either need to blog about last night's session 2 or to introduce y'all to an Inkling Dragon

Today is #DnD campaign session 2. My East Marches campaign is one where the action comes to the homesteads of our heroes. Open to all. Come for a session or a campaign. Minor homebrew, full 5e echosystem, local only. https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2025/05/22/ferments-a-campaign-one-sheet/

The advert for Heroes of the Borderlands reminded me that saying yes to adventure introduced me to who I would become and who I am. Bonus link to the one and only session I ran an actual play. #DnD #ttrpg https://fullmoonstorytelling.com/2025/09/20/saying-yes-to-adventure/

The Way of the Frayed Knot is a Monk subclass that attempts to feature some Western fantasy tropes. The most common of these is Friar Tuck from Robin Hood, but there are other studious, religious types that fought alongside rogues and pirates. Some ignored their ideals. Others felt that the […]

Kristin to me today as we were talking about me being in my feelings: Why don't you blog more on Full Moon Storytelling. She gets me

Mastodon has a new plan to make money: Hosting and support services for the open social web

Oppressive governments are a staple of genre fiction. From Robin Hood to the Vlad Taltos series, from Thay to any place ruled by a Sorcerer-King in Athas – the tales of tyranny that must be overcome are common. An uprising is nearly impossible against these powers though. So how do you rise […]

A return to reading for pleasure, even a few minutes a night, has been a big boost to my quality of life.

You've got to bet on yourself star, 'cause that's your best bet.

A person who has played #DnD since 1980: The Starter Set adventures are too easy. Me, a person capable of reading: It's a Starter Set, not a set made for people who have played the game for 45 years.

Today is session 1 of my Ferments campaign. In a region where the elements rage in a world where magic and dragons recently returned our group of maybe-someday-heroes merely wants to defend their families against living Elementals, raids from dragonkin and the influences of a larger world with […]

After last night's #sounders draw I went to get a donut. In line a woman asks, "Are you Dace Clark?" I answer, "yes." "We've been reading your words on the internet for as long as we've followed the team! Thank you" She later added that they love my D&D stuff too. "Our kids are young. We do like […]

I was supposed to launch my next #dn campaign today, but I'm ill. My session 1 is cancelled, a dour day. The players are leaning into creating allies, adversaries and homesteads. That's been a joy. They'll meet those problems and peoples soon […]

Roll 2d20 and 2d4 and I'll create an encounter for you in my fantasy badlands region called The Ferments. It's a land of geysers, hot springs, surging glaciers and earthquake swarms.
