Hi! I'm Graham (he/him)! I'm a writer and table top game developer. I'm always cooking up something and rarely get enough sleep.
Pinned
So, for the remainder of Campaign 4 of Critical Role, I'm going to post a one sentence reaction to every episode. I'm going to pin this thread, so keep reading if CR is your thing.
This is going to be updated randomly.
Spoilers below!

Played some #assassinscreed yesterday and... I think I may have hit this guy too hard

#daggerheart moment: I'm running a high-power fantasy game set in Faerune. My player @zcornwall.bsky.social rolled so well on a strength check that I made the elderly, one eyed orc he was helping retroactively Grumpsh (the god of orcs, a little less inherently evil in our Faerune)

6 hours of traveling, followed by running a session of #daggerheart. I then promptly fell over after eating a huge burrito for a late dinner

Yesterday was a good day

One thing I like about visiting family im North Ontario; the gentle creeping horror of knowing the woods are only ever a few minutes drive/walk in any direction. You're constantly, quietly, surrounded on each side by primordial nature.
Stray too far and you're theirs once more.

It's impossible to overstate how amazing the work @nightjargames.bsky.social has done for Gutterpunk is and how greatful I am.
Thank you Galen!!!
Your Seraph design is stunning
If the Gutterpunk Rhapsody Seraph by @nightjargames.bsky.social doesn't get us a late pledge or two, then I quit! 🤪
Hope Springs Eternal is now at 126 pages, late pledges closing in February! #daggerheart

Soren always loves to hit us with a curve ball. It's a delight getting to play with the love of my life ❤️

The two stretch goals, world map and backer-chosen illustration, are the final pieces before we can finalize Hope Springs Eternal. If you are considering a late pledge for this Daggerheart supplement, do it soon! www.kickstarter.com/projects/eri...

if you're in TTRPGs and wanna make games, here's my advice: prototype little mechanical doohickies! Try and make a small, concrete system that does something and then test it to see if it does the thing!

I'm really excited by this premise! Give this project a look! We can always use more adversary stat blocks and rules for giving a villain broader narrative impact is such a clever idea

Do you feel #Daggerheart does not have as many monsters as you may like? Do you need guidance on running the ultimate Big Bad Evil in your campaign?

Be sure to get the Crypt of the Nekrolych VILLAIN FRAME

The wonderful @wfgworkshop.bsky.social is hard at work making the map that was unlocked as a stretch goal in the Hope Springs Eternal kickstarter! Late pledges open until February! 120+ pages of beautiful content for the Daggerheart TTRPG by @darringtonpress.bsky.social!

I don't know what it is about #daggerheart but I have run so many chase encounters. I've always loved chases, and the different ways systems try to represent them mechanically, but the countdown system makes it so easy to track

Seraph in the Gutterpunk Rhapsody campaign frame are hallowed mutants, gradually warped by Martyr's Blood into echoes of the abandoned gods. Their bodies begin transforming into wood, glass, or brass, losing more of themselves as they creep closer to the horrifyingly divine. #daggerheart

You know what's the best feeling? Absolutely crushing a deadline because you planned ahead and got started at a reasonable time so you don't need to crunch

Seeing posts on kickstarter projects with AI and wanted to remind you that Hope Springs Eternal, a supplement for Daggerheart by @darringtonpress.bsky.social, is 100% human-made and I'm keeping our artists' WIPs if someone ever doubts!

I foolishly thought late pledges would "naturally" come in from time to time, but it's rough out there! We have a little over 5 weeks to get to 300 backers to unlock a custom soundtrack for Hope Springs Eternal. Can we do it? #daggerheart

Is Lion: Son of the Forest Dark Angels propaganda? Absolutely, yes.

Does it work? Absolutely, yes.

My first ever space marine (from the Kill Team starter set). Still a work in progress, but I'm proud of it so far

All modern laptops should be designed to charge with USBC, and any company that doesn't make that happen is actively trying to scam you

Like, we did it. We made the best charger. Game over

Hope Springs Eternal is still one or two pledges away from 11k CA$! Why late pledge? Because the physical book probably won't be printed again and the full PDF will cost 3-4$ more after the KS. So don't miss out on this 120-page supplement for @darringtonpress.bsky.social's Daggerheart!

A single late pledge makes my day, thanks to our 275th backer! 25 backers away from the custom soundtrack SG. Late pledges for Hope Springs Eternal, a supplement for the Daggerheart TTRPG by @darringtonpress.bsky.social will stay open until late February.
