Part 5 of my new campaign series is up! I’ve started work on the Drowned Labyrinth: factions, hazards, treasure, encounter ratios, and the intended rhythm of play. Very OSE, very focused on exploration, with a big nod to #Piranesi.

I'm seeing more and more Instagram captions written by Chat GPT, and they all sound like Patrick Bateman.

I've used em dashes for YEARS. It infuriates me that if I use them in my writing people assume it's AI. Should I give up and ditch them? Or switch to spaced en dashes, perhaps?

Question for the #OSE and #OSR folks:
When making a hexcrawl, to what extent do you 'stock' every hex? Do you need a lair or adventure site in each one? Are some just empty spaces for random encounters? I've seen conflicting advice on this. (I'm using 6-mile hexes, for context.)

How it's going. Changed my mind about the coast to the east. Don't know if the placement of the mire makes sense. Or the settlement tbh. But it feels right?

If you've never been to the UK in the winter before, you'll probably notice how dark it can be. On 21 Dec, the sun sets at 3.53 pm in London . . .

Is #TheBridge getting review-bombed? Just watched it and had a great time. Are fan expectations just a little bit too high? #StrangerThings

Anyone remember the Fantasy Series 1 minis from Black List Games? I use them pretty much every weekend. I backed the Kickstarter for Fantasy Series 2 back in April 2021, and they were meant to be delivered in 2022. It's now nearly 2026, and they're JUST getting released now...

Trying to name a town. Greyhold, Stonehold, Greywall, Northreach, and Stoneharbour are probably my favourites so far. But I really want something less dull. Names are hard!
