A thoughtful review on The Great Thaw of Gryzmithrak Spire for Draw Steel! It's fun to see people playing the adventure, and I'm always jazzed when someone takes the time to share their thoughts :)
I got to run The Great Thaw by @margomods.bsky.social, one of, if not the first 3rd Party Crowdfunders for #DrawSteel!
It was a trial game for my players, after running the start of the Delian Tomb for others. I wanted to try another adventure to improve my Directing. Here are my thoughts.

If you like TTRPG characters with secrets, traumas, or fears, I have an easy hack for making it really fun at the table.
Attach the key to your character's growth or their motivation for confronting their fears to helping/interacting with another player character and watch how much RP it inspires.

Today, I am launching a new D&D 5E Kickstarter collaboration, but I am still reeling from a weekend filming the most intense and emotional TTRPG story I've ever been a part of!
So much to do! It's truly so hard to express how radically my life has shifted (and improved) since leaving academia.

MCDM really did a fantastic job filling the Draw Steel books with cool stuff to use. I keep being delightfully surprised each time I find preexisting support/content in the books for the wild ideas that pop into my head.
Also excited that my physical copies arrived!!

Oops, I got a little too lost in the D&D worldbuilding sauce for this desert adventure.
It's been too much fun fusing environmental science shenanigans with fantasy nonsense, though. I took black lung and asked the question: what if they inhaled glowing dust falling from a crack in the sky instead?

One of the stretch goals we didn't get to with Tome of Intangible Treasures II was a companion adventure inspired by its Ritual system. Well, I'm doing it anyway in collaboration with Andie of @margomods.bsky.social and Iris from @greengobletgames.bsky.social!

I was nodding along to James Introcaso on YouTube as he listed off classic antagonists in upcoming Draw Steel adventures... until he said one of them takes you to the SUN?
I mean.. yes, some GMs want to throw their players into the sun, but I don't think they meant it like that! I can't wait 👀

In today's D&D writing fugue, I made a casual reference to plato's cave to fuel some cosmic horror with a lonely god on the underside of reality. I'd say today's going pretty well!

Daggerheart's Witherwild campaign frame is among my favorite settings I've ever had the pleasure to run a game in. Two sessions in, and two players already told me it's their favorite game/table they've ever been a part of, and a huge part of that is just how cool the baseline campaign frame is.
