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.

4. When consumed describe the benefit & alteration it provides
5. Another may add a detriment and/or alteration

Bumping this for the folks who missed it.
I had the great pleasure of speaking with @monagle.bsky.social and @donatobomb.bsky.social about horror films, tabletop games, horror in tabletop, and the under-seen Canadian horror film Black Mountain Side (2014).
Give Certified Forgotten a listen!

Do you like your cosmic horror to come with a side of folklore? Then you'll want to check out this week's episode with tabletop designer @byodinsbeardrpg.com about BLACK MOUNTAIN SIDE.
Podcast: Colin Le Sueur on 'Black Mountain Side'
Tabletop designer Colin Le Sueur talks cosmic horror in game design and his love of Nick Szostakiwskyj's 'Black Mountain Side.'

It's been 15+ years since I've used a pro level video editor
I'm just trying to do some basic Pan & Zoom stuff
