First game of the con: DCC in space! We fought a bunch of rock golems IN THE MOON and died, as is appropriate.

When @themightyjerd.bsky.social runs Pirate Borg, he doesn't mess around! And I did get to ride a shark and talk to a kraken!

Miniatures and terrain, including a small boat and a larger ship shipwrecked vessel, all on a blue ocean battlemat.

How an RPG Book is Made!

Scott Gray @scottfgray.bsky.social and I walk through how to make an RPG book! We use examples from Scott's career working on amazing books such as Draw Steel, Daggerheart, Forge of Foes, CORE20, D&D, and much more!

#ttrpg #DnD

The covers for Draw Steel, Acquisitions Incorporated, Forge of Foes, Daggerhearts, Shadowdark, 13th Age, and two Ghostfire Gaming adventures are all visible, with the title of the video superimposed.

The end of a campaign, the end of an era. We had a spectacular final showdown tonight due in large part to masterful wrangling on the part of our Marshal. Thank you, @alphastream.bsky.social! looking forward to the next time I get to haunt your table.

Hardcover copies of Making Enemies: Monster Design Inspiration for TTRPGs have rolled off the presses, and you can preorder your copy now! Read all about it at spyandowl.com/making-enemies. #SelfPromoSaturday

A hardbound copy of Making Enemies rests on a wooden dining table. On the cover, a huge, pearlescent arthropod bursts out of a subterranean crevice and drives one of its large barbed claws through a dwarf fighter's abdomen, while another dwarf cowers in fear. The book is surrounded by blue and red polyhedral dice.

Didn't take many pictures at PAX West, but I ran a BUNCH of fun games with BMG and got to hang out with some of the absolute best folx I know! But now I've gotta crash and catch up on cuddle time.

I'm a huge fan of Journey and Abzu- I'm surprised I hadn't heard of SotS before this but I'm delighted!

I just did this survey. They want to start incorporating AI, and they’re trying to “just ask questions” their way into it. I hate this.

Meredith McClaren @iniquitousfish.bsky.social · Aug 15

I don't know if it's being sent at random, but I got an email survey from Patreon. And I never miss an opportunity to yell.

It's all about AI.

They very much want to use AI.
They very much want to use your art to train AI.
They could not broadcast more clearly how much they want a piece of that AI
