His Majesty the Worm Out Now! http://hismajestytheworm.games/
PHILLY. I AM IN YOU.

I'll be at PaxU at the Exalted Funeral booth from 3-4 on Friday. Come see me! I'll be bored if you don't!

The Castle Automatic is a dungeon where you control the time of year, time of day, and the weather to solve puzzles, avoid vampires, and reclaim the world's most magical treasures.

Be an Early Worm and back the preorder at a discounted price!

The Trashcat wants to go to Pax!

Last night, my players surprised me (they always will) when they boarded an astral ship and went to space. I was saved by the only non-Worm book I have at the table. I am reminded just how valuable this resource is. It gave me the freedom to adapt and still run the game in a radically new direction.

YES using geasa as taboos - and having taboos being actually well reflected in the game - is my shit.

The gimmick is that you gain a measure of potency from observing a taboo, but sometimes you're stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Explicitly the inspiration for pacts in HIS MAJESTY THE WORM

In the Táin Bó Cúailnge, the Irish hero Cú Chulainn can enter a hulked-out rage state called the warp spasm. This is how it's described in my copy.

To exit it, his men have to dunk him into barrels of water.

THIS is what a berserk rage should look like. THIS is how you describe your next barbarian

Hey, holding Benny in the light. Here's a pic of the rascal Trashmouth being bad to keep you company while you wait for his return.

Went on a hike afterwards and found a secondary cave that was locked up?

Also, look at this gnome I found.

It was 55 degrees in there. But I found another cave outside of it on a hike afterwards that had, like....hot air?!?

Inspiration is everywhere. Today, went to the closest show cavern near me. Going on Monday got me a private tour. The tour guide lit a candle to show how dark it would be to explore with candles and torches! Also, check out the cave map.

SPEAKING OF A PERFECT WIFE, CHECK OUT THIS HOTTIE

This is my face, this is what I look like. If you see me at Pax, say hi!

Zedeck is the Hemingway of RPGs. Reading this is so fun.

I have an announcement to announce at Pax. I am excited.

I like Against the Darkmaster a lot. It's a great MERP retroclone that cleans up the text, streamlines it for modern gaming, and wears its influences on its sleeve. It also has this heavy metal aesthetic that I love. I love how they're infused in this table of Passions.

I believe this is what the elves call "serving pucco"

(This is a funny joke, look it up)

I'm partial to my own entry. Think these guys have some fun interactions in the mechanics.

Making my dungeon descriptions more inscrutable than ever
November 11, 2025 at 9:01 PM
I was in my blog drafts this morning and found a post from 2016 that clearly was the beginning of the CASTLE AUTOMATIC project (later built out by #dungeon23 and then revised into a full megadungeon, coming soon!)

Look at the first scrap and compare it to the intro blurb of the completed one

Here is a fuzzy picture of me running Dolmenwood this past weekend. Continuing to have a blast of it.
November 11, 2025 at 12:55 PM
I just want everyone to think I'm funny and laugh at my jokes
