Got to meet Jorbin aka ‪@ElderGoblinGames‬ in person yesterday. Lunch in Asheville and then a few beers. We had a great time hanging out and talking about Shadowdark and other TTRPG’s.

Found this guy in the casino. Now I am not usually a slots player, but by Mitra, there’s easy loot to be had for the taking!

This is my kind of carousing! 👍🏼

I have made no secret that great books fuel my ttrpg inspirations. Read a good book. You will be better for it.

I recently discovered Dave Butler’s channel and I love his hour-long literature discussions of books that matter to me. With so much talk and outrage over the new movie, I found this episode timely.

So, fill your favorite briar pipe, pour a fine whisky or wine, and put your feet up. Here we go!

Just got to North Carolina. My wife and I are living here indefinitely. It’s beautiful! Met a wizard on the sidewalk this morning.

Wow! 800 subscribers. Thanks to all of you who watch my videos and enjoy the livestreams with my friends. I try to keep it interesting and fun. Keep liking, sharing, and making comments on my videos. I try to answer all of them.

I do not do this for the numbers or monetization, etc. I do it because of the people in this ttrpg community. I am so fortunate to know many of you, and I really love the community that we are building together. Let's keep playing games and rolling the dice!

Thank you!

The new Players' Guide to the Western Reaches (digital only) hit my inbox this morning from ‪@TheArcaneLibrary‬. Can't wait to start digging into it in coming days!

This one was a long time coming. It's an enormous 254 pages and gives you everything you need to make characters for a Western Reaches campaign! More Shadowdark! I will make some videos after I can read through it and share my thoughts and observations.

The much maligned short sword and its paltry d6 damage gets some love.. and some historical context.

Who loves ‘em?

Saw these guys everywhere at NTRPG in Dallas. It’s Bunni and Xane from ‪@TheDungeonDamsel‬! Sadly, we didn’t get to play any Shadowdark games together but we are planning a video recording soon to talk about ‪@TheArcaneLibrary‬ Western Reaches Kickstarter, as well as their own Druskara, and other ttrpg creations in their pipeline.

I have watched their livestreams for years and bought their products for Shadowdark. They were so humble and easy to talk to. It was a pleasure. They were genuinely surprised that so many people recognized them from their channel. I had to reassure them that they are very well known, especially in the Shadowdark community and we love their settings and adventures.

Thank you Bunni and Xane!
