  • Retooling the Draconic Ampersand

    I have been playing roleplaying games for most of my life. It’s been my passion and my inspiration since I was ten years old, dreaming of dragons and the deeps of space. Unsurprisingly, I have played a LOT of Dungeons & Dragons in that time. It was my first TTRPG, for a while my only…

  • New Plan!

    Okay, so last Saturday was Extra Life Game Day and my plan to stream Solo TTRPGs went amazing! For the first six hours. Then a migraine showed up and ruined the party for everyone. Obviously this bummed me out for a bit. But I am not one to roll over and give up. So I…

  • There’s No “We” in AI

    AI generated art has been the hot button topic in the TTRPG space for the last little while. There are, as so often happens, respected voices in the industry coming out on all sides of the, well, let’s call it a “conversation” to be polite, which it mostly hasn’t been. And that’s understandable, especially as…

  • New Year, New Look

    Today is my birthday, which seems like a great time to introduce the new site and new look for Dorklord Canada. If you follow me on Twitter you might have known I worked with Allie at ATG Studios to get a unified look and feel to the DLC brand (I almost put brand in quotations,…

  • TTRPGs Giving Back

    The tabletop gaming community is filled with smart, funny, imaginative people who enjoy sharing stories and laughter with their friends and quite often with complete strangers. I think that last part is one of the things I love most about this hobby. That I can sit at a table of folks I don’t know and…

  • Editing for TTRPGs

    I recently completed a little project for the #TTRPGResourceJam over on Itch. I had meant to put together something to help non-editors for a while, and this jam was the kick in the butt I needed to pull it together finally.  Editing for TTRPGs: A Primer for Non-Editors is designed to help creators refine their…

  • Meanwhile at The Rat Hole – September 29

    Heya, folx! I have a post up over at The Rat Hole, talking about the upcoming new TTRPG setting and actual play series, Into the Mother Lands. Check it out and make sure you are there for the start of something I think is going to be amazing! And stay tuned on Friday, I will…

  • Creator’s Catalyst Project

    Say what you will about Twitter, but in the last couple of years it has been responsible for me connecting with some pretty amazing projects. Commenting on a thread on Twitter is how I found myself editing for the Uncaged Anthology books, one of the best editorial experiences of my career so far. It’s where…

  • Done Waiting

    Like many of you, I read Orion’s statement about their being let go from Wizards of the Coast and their treatment while they were employed there. And I feel what many of you feel: anger, disappointment, sadness…a mix of feelings that, for me at least, add up to rage. And that’s what I had intended…

  • #ReadIndieRPGs Master Post

    I was cross posting my #ReadIndieRPGs videos here up until about Day Twelve. I stopped because I knew I was going to do a master post, listing everything I read with links to the videos and the games. It seemed to me a master post with everything in one place would be more useful to…
