Work’s wrapped, & now it’s packing mode engaged for #GameholeCon! 🎲 It’s my first time going, so of course, my brain’s like: Bring everything! Prep for every possible scenario! What if I need that extra d4 from 1998?! 😅

What’s your #1 convention packing essential? #TTRPG #ConventionLife

I’m gearing up for #TheBlackCompany playtest & it’s almost go time! ⚔️💀 We’re aiming to kick things off next month, & I’m putting together a crew of folks ready to dive into the grit, the shadows, and the moral gray of Glen Cook’s world.

I'll be running Haunted West at GameHole Con next week in Madison, WI. Both my sessions are sold out, but if you want a taste of the game, you can check out the actual play by @darkerhue.bsky.social

Ever wanted to hear me run #HauntedWest? Well, saddle up, partner! 🤠 For Genreless’s 200th episode, I wrangled a posse, gave a quick 101, & took them deep into the Weird West. A place where history, horror, and heroics collide. 💀✨

🎲 Let's ride! #WeirdWest #ActualPlay

🎷 Hey Hepcats, have you rolled dice with the multi-ENnie-winning, Diana Jones-nominated #HarlemUnbound yet? No? Why not?! You might’ve missed the groundbreaking indie darling 1E, but don’t sweat it. Bigger, Pulpier, & Expanded Second edition exist! 👀 #CallOfCthulhu #Gumshoe #RPGHorror #TTRPG

At long last, it’s time… #Shadowrun Session 1! 🌃 The team’s gearing up to hit the streets in Elven Fire with a few signature “Chris twists” along the way. I’ve had this module for decades and can’t believe I’m finally running it. Time to light up the sprawl! 🔥💾 #TTRPG #Shadowrun2E

Eagles vs Giants on the screen, Shadowrun 2E rulebook in hand, & my brain’s already in the 2050s. 🏈💾 First session kicks off Saturday. Seattle’s not ready for this crew. I’ve missed the grit and chaos of 2E; it just hits different. Time to brush up on Matrix rules & roll some d6s. #Shadowrun #TTRPG

And hey…will I have a #BlackCompanyTTRPG playtest draft in my bag? 👀 (maaaybe…) But then again, why bring it unless I plan on running it… #ArcDream

Haunted West? It's excellent and the background is the exact opposite of Deadlands, i.e. historically accurate, especially in terms of the roles of indigenous people and non-indigenous ethnic minorities. www.darkerhuestudios.com/shop/5jzf1ll...

One of the best parts of being Arc Dream’s Production Director? Getting an early look at works-in-progress. The evolution of art being created is staggering, & watching such talented folks bring #DeltaGreen to life keeps me fired up every day.

Last night’s Conan without Conan playtest was a smashing success! ⚔️ Two players were brand new to Sword & Sorcery, one only knew the Conan movies, and another came in as a full-on Lieber fan. A few system tweaks and this beast will be Gamehole Con ready! 🔥 #TTRPG #GameholeCon
