Well well well... If it isn't my old nemesis AWS again.
And I see you brought Azure with you.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy it!
Proof copies for Disposable Future have been placed. With luck I should have a few copies in time for U-Con.
A couple semi-locsl, but mostly travelling this year. A lot of overnight trips to Michigan. The Ann Arbor-to-Detroit area has a great horror scene.
My wife and I have gone to haunts every weekend this month. This was our eights of the season.
Wiard's Night Terrors! What a delight!
An apple orchard transformed into a haunted attraction park with a wonderful fair-like atmosphere. Five different haunts, including a hay ride and a 3-ad clown experience. Cool theatrical set-pieces. Super friendly admin staff.
In our OSE game we've made great use of the "Homesteads" supplement for Five Torches Deep. It's given us emotional investment in our town and helped develop NPCs and connections. We've all had a lot of fun fleshing out our PCs' side projects.
PDFs for Disposable Future have been sent to backers! Hooray!
Next step is sending the print files to Mixam.

Ryan over on @theweeklyscroll.com and I were talking about how some folks promote themselves like cheap door-to-door salesmen.

As someone trained in branding, there's another way that's more rewarding and more fun. The approach I'm trying to get better at👇

Holy Katz.
I do believe layout on Disposable Future is finally done!
We started with Hole in the Oak, moved on to Incandescent Grottos, then settled into Illmire for a long while with occasional side-treks to The Lost City and Quasqueton.
But it was the time in Illmire (6 months in game-time) where the PC personalities and motivations really started to gel.
In proper old-school fashion, it is only now after 3 years that any of us PCs are writing backstory 😄

After almost 3 years, my OSE group finally milled all the adventure we could out of Evils of Illmire. Thanks to @leightonc.bsky.social for running a great game. Thanks to Spellsword Studios for such a fun module!
Next, we're on to Cathedral of the Crimson Death!
I am eager to do the final cover for this!
I'm making an Old School #ttrpg adventure called The Prison Pits of Larubia. The Kickstarter launches in November, check out the pre-launch page! It's going to have a beautiful cover by @bernietheflumph.bsky.social!
Coming soon: The Prison Pits of Larubia
An Old School pulp sword & sorcery adventure for the Million-Colored Sun RPG!

Time to see my favorite band, The Sword!
A band I feared was broke up for good!
Oh yes, the blog gets very little action these days. Especially since I can't sneak in new posts at work any more
😅
Silhouette and Morag are actively evil (though Morag is more sociopathic).
Thorne is an emotionally toxic opportunist.
Mojo is just an ill-behaved force of nature.
A group image of my favorite fantasy characters I've played.
It occurs to me that most of them are pretty awful people. 😄

Morag Bas Dhub (Hyperborea)

Monthly Old School Essentials game.
Let's zerg-rush the Observer!
(Only one death!)
"I wonder if my RPG projects are unique enough" I think to myself as I purchase my sixth game that's "like old school D&D but dark and brutal!"
😅
Escape from New York Borg.
Is that a thing?
Should I make it a thing?
I have two copies of DCC because they consistently sell the paperback at conventions for $5

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.
I am proud of Disposable Future, but I will be happy when it's done and I can move onto projects that don't revolve around dystopias.
