I'm doing blogging and community work for @sordanepublishing.bsky.social, and yesterday was my first post: ideas on using Gold Dragons at your table in #DnD and other TTRPGs. www.sordane.com/ideas-for-us...

Ideas for Using Gold Dragons At Your Table

Want more dynamic encounters at your table? Not every creature mini has to be an enemy, and gold dragons a perfect way to handle that.

It does run so much better. I use it on a weekly basis at this point.

Have you switched to Roll20's new tabletop, Jumpgate? 👀

Our complete overhaul of the VTT was built to cut down lag and make games easier to run. 93% of games are already on it!

I would totally love to be good enough to build something like that on my own.

Y'all, we could really use your help in getting our Kickstarter past the finish line. We've managed some good progress so far, but there's a bit to go.

I edited the book and have been working on #5e to #Daggerheart conversions, and we could use your support.

They are! The set is great, too, but the map design is amazing and I'm certainly using them for other things that aren't in the HotB set.

And here's my review of the game from a while back. I can't recommend it enough. Good people make the game, too, so support them. Especially on this holiday of all others. geektogeekmedia.com/geekery/tabl...

Review: Pirate Borg RPG - Surreal, Dark, and Incredibly Fun

Pirate Borg is delightful in the darkest way possible and a great entry point for new TTRPG players and those who want to try out the MÖRK BORG system of games.

I was working on a Talk Like a Pirate Day holiday adventure with a publisher a few months ago, but it fell through. Sucks, but it is what it is.

That said, there's always #PirateBorg from @limithron.bsky.social, which is one of the best TTRPGs I've played in years. So give it a shot if you haven't.

Well, if that doesn't just warm my cold little heart. I didn't know I'd been added to the booklet credits yet for Ready, Set, Encounter!, so seeing that made my day. I'm having a total blast doing these #5e > #Daggerheart conversions, too. The system is phenomenal.

Our schedule is a little off for @dragonquest.fm, but it's definitely going to be worth it with the new episode going live TOMORROW. Austin is traveling this week, too, so we may not get a full episode on Friday, but this one's great enough to keep you going until we get back to normal.
