Our latest post in the Drintera #TTRPG Patreon explains how we decided not to use alignment in our fantasy setting. (If you like alignment that's cool; maybe post your opinion in your own thread because I didn't ask for it here.) www.patreon.com/posts/drinte...

It must be weird to be a centaur. There are these people with the upper bodies of centaurs but tiny lower bodies and only two legs. Then there are these other creatures with the lower bodies of centaurs and huge heads but no arms

Tomas is great to work with. I highly recommend him!

Up until I founded Shewstone I always wanted to play a Lawful Good PC. I think my fantasy was for honor and kindness to be appreciated. (Reactions from other gamers were mixed.) Looking at what other people find fun opened my eyes to the joys of #TTRPG hijinks. Now I am all about skullduggery!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

#TTRPG publishers and pro GMs / streamers, I want to recommend Adobe Stock art as a slightly better source of images for yout products/games than alternatives.

We've changed the title of our upcoming #TTRPG book of adventure plots. It is now _101 Tales of Magic and Mystery_! This better represents what kinds of adventures it offers. Coming soon to Kickstarter! www.kickstarter.com/projects/she...

Here's a free adventure frame from our upcoming book, 101 Adventure Frames in Enchanted England. The player characters (all wizards, if you're using this adventure for Magonomia) are asked to rid a castle of a phantom cat. Hijinks may ensue. shewstone.com/blog/2025/8/...

When you look at creative work you did a year ago (or a month ago) and it makes you cringe, that doesn't mean you did bad work. It means you've learned a lot since then.

Today I learned you can now post updates to a Kickstarter project while it is still in the preview phase. This very welcome new feature finally let me update followers that our Drintera Kickstarter has been replanned and is on track for relaunch: www.kickstarter.com/projects/she...

This week I watched a lecture on The Iliad and the next day I was listening to Queen's song "Another One Bites the Dust." If you understand why, we should be friends.

fucking hysterical to hear the 'poor little genAI industry' crying about being bullied with "copyright law" as if it's some novel, untested area of jurisprudence. If you don't want to be sued by 7 million people don't steal from 7 million people, that's a pretty simple legal concept

I haven't used Google search since 2008. This week I learned of a new search engine funded by subscription fees—you pay monthly, and that makes you the customer, not the product. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

The Kickstarter for the Drintera #TTRPG worldbuilding project has been replanned and will be launching later this year! A whole world of fantasy, with cultures inspired by the diversity of the real world. Sign up now to get notification when we launch. www.kickstarter.com/projects/she...

When building a #TTRPG world, it's important to set aside certain legends and mysterious locations for the game master to develop on their own. I don't mean blank space on the map, I mean a tantalizing rumor or a controversial event that is left unresolved.

Alright, #RPGaDAY2025, let's go! 💪😤 Since we (@undergroundoracle.com) are releasing Harrow: The Blighted Plane to the public this month, let's focus these daily posts on unique encounters you can have while exploring the world. #CSOL #ttrpg

I thought our upcoming #TTRPG supplement, 101 Adventure Frames in Enchanted England, would be easy to write, but I turned it into a three-year project. Now we really are in the home stretch and the @kickstarter.com is coming! I am enormously proud of the team's work.

As a #TTRPG publisher we are dead set against using generative AI in product development. As a gamer, I cannot help thinking it might be fun to run Paranoia and have ChatGPT roleplay The Computer. www.mongoosepublishing.com/collections/...

I'm editing manuscripts for our upcoming book, 101 Adventure Frames in Enchanted England (I will be doing that for quite a while) and I have one conclusion: #Magonomia freelance writers are cat people. www.kickstarter.com/projects/she...
