Still working on the name, but I'm beginning layout for my next Song of the River Prince project, while also writing the NEXT supplement. #SongOfTheRiverPrince #IndieRPG
Where the Fey Gather, Courts and Creatures for Song of the River Prince by Mark Meredith. The image shows a tree with a glowing creature standing beneath it. There is a standing stone nearby with runes.

I’ve started make by my own paper minis, grabbing images from online (sometimes even photos of action figures) and adding borders and fold lines in the @okumarts.bsky.social style. No front and back, of course, but it would let me make minis on a large scale.

Working on a map of the town seen on the cover of River Prince. The original piece was drawn by @aurumek.bsky.social based on descriptions I gave him. Now I'm adapting it back over myself into a map. I don't have all the locations fully detailed that I numbered here.

You know me, you know that I'm always working on random projects. I had the idea to combine the Invasion of Naboo Adventure game and the adventure from Secrets of Naboo into a single adventure for D6.

#StarWarsRPG #StarWarsD6 #StarWars
a mockup of a Star Wars d6 book, this one called "The invasion of Naboo: An introductory Adventure for use with Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game Revised and Expanded. Repel an occupying army and save your homeworld in the shadow of The Phantom Menace." The artwork features a jedi, Naboo guard, and wookiee fighting battle droids.

Hi! Just popping in to say I played this as a solo version (cut my deck down to 2-3 random prompt cards plus the ace, and picked the arrival time that I felt fit the story I had crafted best!) This is a wonderful tapestry/story/reflection game - I really enjoyed looking up the references as someone who doesn't have that much experience with the culture/history - listening to arirang as the acapella group sang it for example (from one of the prompts)... You really set a specific mood and vibe for this game and I enjoyed the slow, reflective, curious pace of it! Well done!

With me completely redesigning Keep on the Shadowfell from scratch, I figured I should change the name of the adventure.
The Gate of the Horned Prince Prologue The Setting Realms, both wondrous and dire, border the world. One such realm is the Shadowfell. Although not inherently evil, the Shadowfell is fraught with dangers, and the barrier between worlds can be thin. Sometimes the darkness breaks into the light. Nearly two hundred years ago, a cult of the demon prince Orcus purposely created such a gap, connecting one of Orcus’s unholy Shadowfell sites to the world. Skeletons, zombies, and fouler creatures flooded through the rift into the light of day. The empire of Nerath dispatched legionnaires to eliminate the threat. The empire’s soldiers destroyed the undead, sealed the opening, and built a keep to watch over the location and contain the threat. This is the site known as the Keep on the Shadowfell. Decades of peace followed, and the village of Winterhaven arose within sight of the keep. Eventually, the great fort fell into ruins and its grand purpose forgotten. Today, it is seen as a harmless tumble of stone and wood. If only that were true.

Using Inkarnate to create maps of the Nentir Vale and Winterhaven regions. I want them to be in-universe maps, so I've left off Kobold Hall and the Keep on the Shadowfell. #DnD #Dnd4e

I was pretty proud of what I threw together for a short, lunchtime session.
A windmill in flames along the road, with a broken wagon and wheat and corn fields.

Preparing for my first session of my work game with two letters, one the party will be given, one they’ll find. I’m dipping these in tea now to get them aged. Alt text has the letters written out. #ttrpg #rpg #nentirvale
any persons of sound mind, steady hand, and untroubled conscience: Be it known that the undersigned, Rendil Halfmoon, of the Halfmoon Trading House, hereby seeks trustworthy escort and protection for a small caravan bound from Fallcrest to the barony of Harkenwold. Two wagons of goods will depart upon the King’s Road within the week—timber, salt, cloth, and sundry mercantile wares for sale in the southern valley. I am informed that the roads have grown uncertain of late: farmsteads abandoned, bridges ill-kept, and rumors of brigands, beastmen, and worse. I therefore require a company of armed and capable travelers to ensure safe passage to the market town of Albridge, for which service I shall pay the fair sum of 100 silver pieces per guard, with board and road-rations provided. Any salvage or trophies won from highwaymen are yours by right and conscience. Those who carry blades for hire, or hearts for adventure, are welcome—provided they can walk a league without complaint and stand a watch without falling asleep. — Rendil Halfmoon Merchant in good standing of the Halfmoon Trading House, Fallcrest Dated this 18th day of Reaping, in the Year of the Vale 293 By Order of Captain Nazin Redthorn, Commander of the Iron Circle Detachment in the Northern Vale Sergeant — You are to range north of the Harken River and clear the King’s Road of all resistance. Any farmstead that fails to yield tithe or shelter shall be made example of. Secure all wagons and supplies moving between Fallcrest and Harken Keep. Seize salt, grain, and cloth; burn what cannot be carried. No trade is to reach the barony without our mark and levy. Report any travelers of unusual bearing—armed companies, spell-workers, or messengers—to your lieutenant at once. Our allies to the south grow impatient, and the Baron’s household still harbors hope. That hope must be extinguished before the month’s end. The Circle marches soon, and the valley will belong to us. — Cpt. Nazin Redthorn Under the Seal of the Black Flame, in service to the Shadowed Lord

The cover of “Song of the River Prince,” the greatest RPG ever created. It features a town, Riverbend, sitting at the crook of the Wide River. It is “a Roleplaying Journey by Mark Meredith”

I didn't end up releasing an RPG in October, so you know what that means: TWO RPGs in November! Which should I release, based on the green ones here?

My FLGS put out a post saying they'll have the new D&D books available on release day, and while the covers are pretty, I have no reason to get back into collecting D&D books. I remember the thrill of release day for 4e, because there was so much new STUFF inside every book!
