Someone posted in the Quinn's Quest Discord about doing a secret dungeon this holiday season - like a secret Santa, but a dungeon.

I think it's an awesome idea!

My task is a system neutral Dream Fae Hedge Maze! We'll see how it goes.

Been AFK (AFW?) for a bit, but got the last two panels done here. The lighting in my studio is Not Good but you get the gist.

Goal is to transform these into Dragonbane improvised weapon cards (with a bit.. OK a lot of digital cleanup). First set is the Mage Tower!

Got a proof for Belle that I'm happy with! Going to be pulling the trigger soon.

250 page mini-campaign adventure: Thither Ruins of the Dimlit Downlands is nearly ready for public playtesting. Here is a preview. If you hit pause and read it, keep in mind its pre-editing.

OK these are pretty fun. Learning how to mix colors, control flow, and use drying to my advantage.

Feels like another very long journey but I'm really enjoying the process so far.

Here's "Alchemist's Table", "Enchanted Broom", and "Spell Fragment".

A mirthful adventure site for Dragonbane and other old-school roleplaying systems. #ttrpgs

I think I'm about ready to start work on a little palate cleanser after the Belle. I've had the idea for an expanded set of Dragonbane improvised weapons cards kicking around for a while, I think that'd be a fun thing to do.

Anyone have good watercolor tutorials / tips for a newbie?

Not an entirely successful or timely pumpkin beast, but, hey! Fun to think about what something aside from your typical jack-o'-lantern might be.

Watercolors are fun!

I was inspired by a local cryptid, the "Dark Watchers" (Los Vigilantes Oscuros).

Anyone have a good Big Sur-esque module?

Post-launch update: I painted an owl.

I've sold 4 copies of Belle of the Bog, 3 of which were my good friends and playtesters. All 30 of the community copies are gone, and I got a 5 star review on Itch.

I got the hardcover proof in the mail. My son likes my book.

So it's going pretty well!

Running a one-shot on the NSR Cauldron discord (I'll let you guess which one...)

Still two spaces open if you'd like to play!

Proofs for The Belle of the Bog are on their way!

PoD is going to be pretty slow, I've ordered a small run of Mixam and might move forward with a larger run since I'm not sure that I'll get the PoD proof in time for the holidays.
October 22, 2025 at 3:52 PM
I've decided I'm going to do a fairly small Mixam print run as well. Been a fun night setting that up, but the end is in sight. Probably will just fulfill through @drivethrurpg.com, since that keeps things nicely bundled.

I recently published an adventure for Cairn 2e, and I'd like to talk about the development process a bit, it folks will indulge me.

Here's the finished cover, we'll see what the printer has to say about it. It was a real journey getting the colors right, the Lightning Source color profile is not my friend haha.

The PDF of The Belle of the Bog is completely and totally done, I'm down in the PoD rabbit hole now.

Depending on how long it takes to get a proof, my hope is to release both at the same time the first or second week of November.

Did I stay up too late? Yes, yes I did. Did I also get my whole map labeled (and linked and laid out)? Also yes.

Final two decks DONE! I need to label these beauts and make some minimaps, a few small edits to the manuscript, and we’re ready for launch. Fingers crossed for next weekend!!!

Two decks down, two to go (plus a whole mess of labeling)

The only thing left is the map. Taking a fresh stab at it, pretty happy with how it’s going.

Switching from trying to design it to treating it like another illustration was a game changer!
