Data Visualization Fanatic and TTRPG Enjoyer. Always the worst guitarist in the band. Ask me about my favorite OSR modules, Doom/Sludge Metal, or why pie charts are the worst.

Well, my first Gamehole Con was an absolute blast! Not only did I get to play #RaptorRuckus, #Dragonbane, and #Lancer for the first time, I got to run my upcoming #PirateBorg adventure Saltwater Sacrament for the @need.games guys, with whom I became great friends! Gary Con can’t come soon enough!

Creative work is maybe 10% creative and 90% work. The final product is, well, a product of many small things: iterations, testing, sometimes just throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Ideas are cheap. Execution is what makes those ideas happen. And that's difficult.

And about 9 hours later! Decided to drop the clouds - they took away from the main pyramid structure of the comp. Just deciding on treatment of the Rouge. Textured or solid blacks - then off to Patrons! How cool is that. $2.50/mo and you get to use this on your books!?

My view is that the author of a published adventure should consider themselves a co-conspirator with the GM.
That means clearly and concisely explaining what the plan is.
It is strangely common for published adventures to try to pull a fast one on the GM.

One of the things I like the most as editor of Knock! is that you (yes you!) can submit things to the magazine.
Look, I read a lot of blogs. When I find a new creator because they submitted something, I'm thrilled.
We're working on K!6, so please submit!

I didn't make this (I sadly don't know who did), and I don't know how I feel about the name, but despite that, this is an INCREDIBLE resource for finding free-to-use, public domain art for your games. The MÖRK BORG community has been using it for years, so should you.
