My desire to matchy matchy all my books was strong, so now I have three signed doorstoppers of The Will of the Many and The Strength of the Few, which will now need their own allocated bookshelf.

My biggest beef with fantasy novels is where your government is the only one on the continent and there's no thought to how the economy works. 🤦♀️
Anyway bravo to this post!

This guide to fantasy kingdoms by @stewarthotston.com makes me think of the 1e AD&D Dungeon Masters Guide, which had a whole section on governments for fantasy realms.

Ran Resort for a bunch of friends last night and every time, the chaos goes to 11. It's a joy to run as a keeper - I've never had more fun and laughs wreaking havoc on the players.

Just published a supplement for Call of Cthulhu, which features my first ever short story in print (Ex Libris)! It was great collaborating with so many creative minds on this. If you want a collection of 60+ tomes of forbidden lore for your game, check it out!

Every year at #PAXAUS we host a community content creators meet-up: it was delightful to have so many creators—new, aspiring, and established—along today. Look out for their work in the Miskatonic Repository, Jonstown Compendium, and Companions of Arthur at @drivethrurpg.com!

Headlice is my favourite game of PAX so far.
Absolutely madcap parasitic adventures, but they got the mechanics just right. Hilarious.
