I am Itchfunding my Cairn module in order to pay for editing and get physical copies! I have worked on this game for two years and I would appreciate everyone giving it a look, sharing it around, or even contributing to the fund!
Let's get this game done!

I'm happy to report that @drivethrurpg.com have added Cairn as a filter (under Old School Revival). Thanks much for that! If you've made something for Cairn, be sure to update the tag there under "Edit Title Listing."

Thanks again everyone.

I've read a small amount of this depthcrawl and it's really, really good. Jason is writing something that's interesting, unusual, and smart. If you're a Cairn or other OSR player, I encourage you to check out the Itchfunding campaign - it's great now, and it's only going to get better.
What is Downrooted about?
It is ostensibly about exploring a dark magical forest. Players will push their luck and go deeper to find greater rewards, and greater dangers. By using a simple depthcrawl system, each excursion is unique. Will you reach the heart of the forest? How deep will you go?

The widespread use of LLMs has made me seriously reconsider the merit of having AI as a playable background in my game. Even though conceptually AI in sci-fi and LLMs are utterly distinct, the propaganda of LLMs as genuine AI has poisoned the well for me.

One of my favourite jams of the year. I wish I could join, but alas, life has other plans. I'm looking forward to all the creations!
The 5th annual DURF Jam has begun! ✨

Another pastel, this time of a silverfish sentry using a personal televox transmitter.

Which miniatures line is the closest to Tiberian Sun? I'm starting to think that my problem with miniatures is that none of them are Tiberian Sun.

Another in my pastel series. This time, a red-rimmed dune crawler carries cargo across the dust fields.

I don't get much time to make art, so I doodle whenever I get the chance. Here are some ideas that might become pastel paintings in the future.

Sorry, everyone. They are going to have to delay the release of Hades 2. I'm not done with Silksong yet.

Here's another pastel exploration. This time, a small spaceport in a crater on a moonlet.

Got the pastels out for something that has been in my head for a while and part of a science-fantasy setting I'm working on.
