A HUUUUUGE thank you to @drivethrurpg.com for featuring Vagabond in the banner while it's in the Top Ten!!!

My plan is still to be at PAX Unplugged but uh… universe willing.

Luna is one of my favorite newer finds in the RPG industry. Love her fresh take on classic looks, and your book is gonna absolutely rock if you get her on board.

Been saying basically everything Ben said here for a while, but I just recently decided to stay shut about WotC stuff... so... just gonna share it.🤐🤐🤐 www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_yP...

... I'm coming for you, Daggerheart...

It's wild how much care is being taken for the Chainsaw Man and Dandadan adaptations. I still can't wrap my mind around how studios are capable of this, but Junji Ito still can't get a solid team for Uzumaki, Gyo, or Tomie.

Hell yeah we are, brother

Support me on Patreon so I’m not forced to teach Kindergarteners how to sing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer during an atmospheric release drill while two kids try to yank each others teeth out and a girl cries that we aren’t singing kpop demon hunters

Has to be my favorite insult comment I've gotten in a hot second.

I keep wondering if Vagabond needs a Samurai class… then I remember Auron exists.

I kind of feel like I’m just picking on WotC whenever I comment on the design decisions going on around D&D 2024. I think I’m just cynical to the whole cozy core angle they’ve moved to, and it’s just time to abandon covering it.

I've had three points in TTRPGs where I've considered quitting my day job, and I've learned one thing: Don't leave something steady for unsteady success. You need to bring in like $50,000 a year consistently before even thinking about it and even then, reconsider.

For some EXTREMELY strange reason, Steam's Final Fantasy VIII banner defaulted to this edgy, gory fanart, and no one knows why. Kind of hilarious tbh

Did you know you can swipe left so much on Tinder that it starts recommending you dudes? Kinda feels like it’s saying “You SURE you’re into women?”

“Who’s going to pay for people to have food & healthcare? You?” Yes. That’s the point. We all pay & everyone benefits. I would gladly contribute my fair share to ensure no one is left behind. I want my tax dollars to feed & house people. I want them to have medical care This shouldn’t be radical

Oh my gooooooooood the poor Drunken Master Monk got butchered

This is such an absolutely wild story that perfectly encapsulates how childish those near Trump really are. "You're wrong." "Okay how am I wrong?" "You're not saying what I want you to. Make up your own sources." Wild times. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPtK...

Thanks to the overwhelming support for Vagabond, we're getting the second print wave. Not only that, this second print wave is going to be an even bigger improvement on the first one, with THREE Book Ribbons and a more throughout editing pass to catch snags we didn't see the first time.

Huge thank you to @doublecritfail.bsky.social for bringing Alexey Gorboot's cover illustration for Rook & the Crook to life!!!

I will be running some Vagabond games for influencers at PAX Unplugged! If you've already got my contact info, hit me up for the location.

One of the bad things about losing an eye that no one talks about: you break toes on that side of your body almost every 6 months. Just kicked a 25 lb weight and I'm about to just amputate the damn thing.

Oh they’re absolutely going to ban Vivi in standard. Lol

Confession time: I've been a fan of Final Fantasy for like two decades now, but never played FF6. Started it yesterday and, yeah I get it now. All of FF's worlds are incredibly inspiring, but FF6 has one of the coolest premises to sell you on everything it has to offer.

I've heard peoples' disappointment about the Rook & the Crook only including a point crawl map when we originally intended to have full cartography. I'm delaying physical fulfillment of the zine because we now have @zazb.bsky.social doing the map!

Just got caught up on the Project Sigil news. There could be some business management courses taught in college about the "colossal fuck up" era of Wizards of the Coast from 2022-2025. To all aspiring C-suites: This is why you HAVE to know your customer base to please investors.

I guess Vagabond might be hitting some retail shelves! I’ve been approached by about a dozen stores to stock it!!! I’ll have more info on that once things move along with it

Evil Hat talking about how their funding goal is much lower than their actual break even number is just more poison in the crowdfunding waters. Maybe that works for the big companies, of which there are like 5? But small creators will see this, emulate it, and be ruined by it.

[Vagabond Wave 1 Fulfillment Progress] Kickstarter: 98% Complete (awaiting @alchemyrpg.bsky.social Module for 100%) Gamefound: 100% Complete for pledge manager completed orders. Shipments go out ~Saturday. Shopify: 100% Complete. Shipments go out ~Saturday.

I've heard of at least one of the Vagabond GM Screens "sticking" together and requiring some force to open. If this happens to you, try using a hair dryer to lightly soften any glue that may be causing the problem.

We should have all standing orders complete by this Sunday, and the print run for wave 2 will be under way and in-hand by January. Meanwhile, we have HUNDREDS of copies of the Basic Hero's Handbook, about 400 GM Screens, and hundreds of dice sets to sell! GM Screens will go on sale next week!

Artists who can emulate the old school Final Fantasy vibe, hit me up.

Aaaaaaaand Vagabond is GOLD on @drivethrurpg.com!!! Currently sitting in the top 25 current Best Sellers!!!

If you have to make a ruling, rule in favor of the players. Nothing is gained by futzing over fairness to the enemies. Players are doing stuff because they want to play the game. Besides, you probably forgot like 20 other rules before this moment anyways.

Shopify Customers: AWS issues are still going on, preventing me from purchasing shipping labels. There's only about 50 orders remaining before we hit the Preorders, but they're all backed up by this outage. I'll keep you all updated as we move on.

Gamefound Backers: if your User Name does not match the Name or Email registered to Gamefound, I have no way of looking up your order unless you email me this information. Please email me with "Gamefound Fulfillment" in the email subject so I can help you out.

In all the insanity I didn’t even realize… Vagabond is just 23 sales away from GOLD BEST SELLER!!! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Rest of World backers, we are currently packing about 100 orders there, and doing another 100 from Shopify! ETA Nov. 1st for all packages to be out!

It feels so cool to now be able to confirm this. We've got Print Wave 2 underway, and I was just approached about getting Vagabond translated to Portuguese by the same company who translated Free League's work and the Cosmere RPG!!!

It’s one hell of a mail day! Two gorgeous and very different books showed up. Thank you to @justinsirois.bsky.social and @indestructoboy.bsky.social for these gorgeous tomes!!

the AWS outage still appears to be affecting Gamefound orders. I haven't been able to update shipping stages for about 72 hours or export a working CSV. Will keep everyone updated.

Due to the AWS outage and an issue with UPS here in Tulsa, we’re about two days behind on orders! 300 just went out today, and I’m boxing up more tonight. International peeps: I’m waiting until the AWS issue is sorted, because it’s affecting Ship Station.

Vagabond is arriving at Kickstarter backers as we speak!!!

My Mail Drop off center is a little upset with me. Lol

[VAGABOND FULFILLMENT] All US Gamefound and Kickstarter packages are boxed up and ready to ship! Currently waiting on a technical issue on Gamefound to do rest of world there. Shopify is slowly fulfilling, it was just a barrage of orders all at once!! lol

Vagabond's Character Sheet is UP AND WORKING ON @owlbear.rodeo!!! Install the following Custom Extension to get in on the Beta!!! vagabond-extension.onrender.com/manifest.json

I'm so confused by what some people mean by "keep politics out of D&D products". What's been "political" about the entire lineup of D&D 5E releases?

Vagabond's Character sheet currently working in Owlbear Rodeo!!! This came together SO insanely fast thanks to Alyx, and it's looking absolutely GORGEOUS!!!

This whole thing has been grassroots from day 1, and there's a Land of the Blind 3PP Creation that is so good, I had to implement it officially. Not only that, it made me want to create a path for aspiring 3PP to get their stuff in a book. I would have killed for this when I was doing D&D 3PP.

@indestructoboy.bsky.social Thank you for writing Vagabond. I never would have considered just throwing out traditional initiative for combat, but damn it clicks so well. Hope you dont mind if I take notes for my WIP ttrpg lol

a small demo of the Character Sheet extension for Vagabond // Pulp Fantasy RPG in @owlbear.rodeo!!! You'll see the sheet automatically calculate your Skill Difficulties from your stat inputs!!!
