  • Updating the Ko-Fi Shop

    Every once in a while I go over old creations and see if there’s room for improvement. I don’t have a set schedule for this, it usually happens when some other thing I’m doing reminds me they exist. This week I used swarms of bees and the Hedgicorn I created in a charity game I…

  • Supporting Palestine

    You might remember my friend Jes from our interview back in July, when they were releasing their excellent Uncaging Nicolas on Itch. One of the things we touched on in that interview was Jes’ commitment to supporting charity through tabletop gaming on their channel. So it comes as no surprise, with the atrocities committed against…

  • Let’s Stat at the Beginning, Part 2

    Sometimes you plan to come back to something right away, only for life to decide, “Haha! Nope!” Sorry to be away so long folks, but I am back! If you are just joining us (welcome!) I am posting some ideas around a developmental edit of D&D 5e, as if I had been engaged to give…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • Playing with William

    Yesterday I had the opportunity to play in a streamed game and it was a lot of fun! But today’s post is not about the game, but my character. More specifically, my character’s name, William Lindsay. In answer to a question from one of the many TTRPG related quizzes going around on Twitter, I remember…

  • Some Thoughts on $300 Dice

    In celebration of D&D’s 45th anniversary, Wizards of the Coast released a beautiful set of metal dice, featuring a sapphire set in one of the d20. There are some other things that come along with the set; a nice display box, some stats for a Sapphire Dragon, and so on. And there is Clever Marketing™…

  • The Hedgicorn

    I love coming up with weird, quirky things for my D&D campaign. As one of my groups is entering a pocket of the Faewylde, I wanted to create something special for them to encounter. I love faerie, because done properly they hide a frightening power behind a cute facade. So I thought to myself, how…

  • From the Campaign: Tome Guardian

    Even though I’m not entirely finished with this creature, I thought I’d share something I pulled together for my home D&D campaign. My party is going to be exploring many places which have not been seen for almost five hundred years or more, and this is one of the creatures they may encounter in their…

  • RPGaDay August 29

    You can game anywhere on earth, where would you choose? I’ve had to break the answers to this question down by type of game, because of course the RPG makes a difference. Fantasy (D&D, Pathfinder) – I’d pick any of the dozens of still standing castles throughout Scotland or Wales. I’d prefer something on the…
