Looking forward to showing off the sample copies of HYPERBOREA 3e (second printing) at EGG Con, in Lake Geneva, WI. It's great to be back in the heartland of tabletop adventure games and war games, celebrating the life and works of Gary Gygax. Badge pick-up in a short while!

My Ryecroft sessions ended the other week with a grand finale of cinematic proportions. The wormkin had figured out the Libram of the Arachnae, and summoned Morgontula, who promptly ate The Abbess. As the abbess died, all the Writhers dropped down lifeless. The Libram was then…
I’m super proud of Ryecroft—A dangerous cemetery crawl for OSE. Can’t wait to start getting physical copies out the door and into hands and on gaming tables!
As a creative, I just don’t find AI art fulfilling. Social media and YouTube is filled with a LOT of AI slop, and it just makes real genuine creatives harder to find, see and admire :(
My latest terrain tutorial video is live... ...and this time it's another 'travel/portable dungeon' that packs away inside its own box :) youtu.be/Tn2OcXvr0Bo Hope you like it! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder #ttrpg ...and so on ;)
For those with a bunch of Midderlands-related maps and zines, you can now get the latest Midderstore box to keep them in one place 😀 monkeyblooddesign.co.uk/product/midder…
Eberron didn't click for me until I started playing DDO Online: Stormreach back in 2006
I've been busy moving house and just catching up on the ENnie nominations... Stoked to have worked on the following: The Shrike, Silverarm (cartography) Slay & Plunder, Nwyvre Press (layout) RuneQuest: Lands of RuneQuest – Dragon Pass, Chaosium Inc. (some cartography)
Time to start doing hot takes and making controversial statements to get the follower count up…
I really should stop arguing with AI chat when it talks absolute shit/makes things up, I flag it, it promises to do better/cite facts/evidence, then talks more shit/makes things up. No wonder we haven’t found an alien civilisation—they don’t get past the AI stage!
RPGs designed for sessions with 1 Ref and 2 Players are easier to maintain. 2 players to committing to regular games is easier than 4. Is this a reason games sit on shelves - not enough players. My RPG system will focus around 2 players by default.
So due to some unexpected financial trouble, and to popular demand, I've decided that Machine Gods of the Noxian Expanse is no longer a Patreon exclusive. So if you're interested in a PDF or PoD copy, you can grab it from DTRPG or Amazon!
