In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press.
If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people.
My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.

this actually rules because the way the game works, if you try to romance certain people he is guaranteed to show up in your friend group, and you then have to go out with him at least platonically or else he will tell everyone what a jerk you are
So if people dislike him he just becomes a boss

I've been experimenting with a condensed, low commitment OSR dungeon crawl campaign lately, inspired by Luke Gearing's and Stella Condrey's excellent pick up games, as well as by the Spectaculars boxed set and West Marches. If you're low on time and want try a different format, consider this one.
