Your readers will never forget the perfect name. For instance:

We don't know exactly what happened during the Ceramic Scandal 🏺. But it must've been an amazing bit of pottery.

Create this and other monikers with the Namesakes Expansion for Lore Master's Deck!

That awesome scene you're excited about?

You don't need to wait until the end of the book. Go ahead and jump right to the cool thing you want to happen, THEN get to the real drama as characters deal with the effects!

Thanks to Magic of the Lost author @clclark.bsky.social for the awesome tip!

When disaster struck, the people always went to the canyons.

They provided a natural refuge from all manner of catastrophes - and the locals even believed that the temple they built there would still be standing when everything else had fallen.

Just finished showing my DM friend my @storyenginedeck.bsky.social We made some pretty amazing prompts and he even showed me some cool ways he would use the decks! Now I have a faster way to create npcs and plot hooks. I'm really really geeked!

For a thrall, life is pretty simple.

You wake up. You tidy master's tomb. You try to get rid of the corruption that plagues master's slumber.

You've done it this time, for sure. But did you really remove the corruption - or is this new reality what the curse wants you to remember?

Can you find a quest for this unlikely party?

On our last livestream, Dungeon Tryouts artist @acstu.bsky.social drew 3 new Adventurers for our DnD-themed party game. The lineup is:

🤸‍♂️A cheerleader bard
🍖A meat-o-mancer who only summons meat.
😺A cat-person who is clearly a furry.
