Hi all! If you backed Castle of the Veiled Queen on KS you should check your DMs ;) and if not, but you're into Beyond Corny Groń - pdfs with both funded modules were just released on itch.io

nerd-sirens.itch.io/kurgan-of-th...
I hope you'll enjoy them! :)

One fortress and one dungeon beneath is not enough, so we are adding something extra to Castle of the Veiled Queen, for all of you who like side quests, idolatry and/or digging through ancient funeral mounds in your #OSR games!
Map made of course by trusty @brzozenwald.bsky.social

It's done and looks awesome! Jacek did a hell of a job to make something usable out of my sketches. The idea was to have every building in the fortress connected not only through courtyard and walls, where guards can spot the trouble-makers, but also via a network of secret tunnels beneath.

It’s still in progress, but I have to admit I’m hyped for the last piece of map for Castle of the Veiled Queen, in which @brzozenwald.bsky.social is encompassing eerie tunnels under the fortress. I hope you’ll find it as beautiful & practical as I do!

I haven't shared them here yet, so it's about time to show you some of the cool linocut pieces Ala Wiśniewska has prepared for the upcoming Corny Groń adventure zine!

I want Castle of the Veiled Queen to be all about detailed maps that let you see the rooms instead of just reading about them. @brzozenwald.bsky.social was the ideal guy to such task, as you can see below. Isometric view + his talent perfectly embodied the castle!

Castle of the Veiled Queen is live on KS! A highland OSR adventure site which you'll enjoy if you like castles with ghosts, eldritch fey, secret passages & old-magic powers! It also provides BCG lore & factions connections, and openings for further adventures!

I know it's a third post in a row about Castle of the Veiled Queen, upcoming Beyond Corny Groń OSR adventure module, but #selfpromosaturday in only once a week, and @majsteremski.bsky.social prepared some really massive piece of promo you have to see & hear!

Cover art for Castle of the Veiled Queen, made by Aleksandra Czudżak of czudzak.com We'll print it in the same technique as solo game & BCG - silver foil hot-stamped on black background. All I have to do is to add the title without screwing over her great work!

Yesterday I played one of the best sessions of my life. With my 6yo son as a GM. My thoughts about it (e.g. why OSR is the best) are too long to publish here, so it was also a good reason to dust off my Substack account, where you can read the whole story.

Honey, new Hollow Press stuff just dropped. Are those as good as Vermis?

1) Age of Rot by Strange House / Joonas Ryynamen - sadly, a disappointment. You can see the powerful inspiration from Vermis, powerful to the level of a rip-off (but both titles came out from the same publisher, so...

Me: All right, let's write up some short Corny Groń module for ZineQuest
Also me:
(good thing is I've learnt a lot about Affinity Publisher while squeezing it into 40 pages of B5 format with maps (shoutout for @brzozenwald.bsky.social !), NPC portraits and other art)

I see I have a lot to learn about the noble art of bookbinding, but isn't it funny that I started my own practice with the same subject material
December 9, 2024 at 1:20 PM
All right, I literally snorted. I love this kind of writing @lukegearing.bsky.social
November 30, 2024 at 3:58 PM
It's my first time with Lulu & spiral binding for the zine(s), but it might be not the last - it has its advantages, and the quality of a print is better than I expected (which was something on DTRPG / Amazon PoD tier).
And of course - @castlegrief.bsky.social art is WILD AS FUCK
November 30, 2024 at 1:34 PM
So, it wasn't most profitable endeavour we get ourselves into (publishing in English seems like more reasonable investment of our post-dayjob time and resources), but! I must admit - there's something special in seeing this bad boy published in my mother tongue
November 21, 2024 at 12:16 PM
Finally, @lukegearing.bsky.social made a ttrpg for playing criminals in the magic-infused, fantasy City.

(putting tongue out of cheek - I dig the idea of playing BitD but on OS system oozing with British-ness, which better fits such stories, and production values by @melsonia.bsky.social are wild)

- Mum, can we have cool covers for fantasy novels in Poland?

Cover for a fantasy novel in Poland:
(of course I'm joking, sometimes we do get something nice on a cover. sometimes)

Three's company
(BTW I'm really amazed how quickly it shipped from US to Poland - I orderded Wonderland on Tuesday, and today courier was at my door)

My hands're itching to share the maps extremely talented @brzozenwald.bsky.social is working on for 1st Corny Groń module. Idea's to have all objects from living and working fort visible on overview (and more!) mapped out for any kind of prison break/heist/treasure hunting adventures in Karpaki.
November 9, 2024 at 5:10 PM
OMG @gamesomnivorous.bsky.social did it again - Expedition Log is wild, I love this "cloth dust jacket" thing and faux blood stains (my wife got genuine spooked), and the idea of presenting adventure sites via (failed) quest journal is really cool. Don't go - run! to GO store to grab your copy ASAP
November 8, 2024 at 10:35 AM
I know it's a stinky time (believe me, as a neighbor of Ukraine, I'm quite nervous about US election), but let me share my glimpse of joy - Corny Groń achieved Silver Bestseller status on DTRPG, despite being PWYW product. Yay!
(Beyond Corny Groń is only 4 copies away from Copper - just sayin')

Me (35 yo) and Tadeusz (6 yo) are working on new Monster Manual / Player Options Guide for D&D, here are 6 characters he wants to play with (all on the same time, why waste your time on gathering petty treasures when you can start with domain level play)
October 27, 2024 at 4:52 PM
@thelostbaystudio.com has just joined the distinguished group of stores where you can buy Beyond Corny Groń, and you can grab both big & small Groń boys with 15% promo and other fine #TTRPGs merchendise (like @chaoclypse.bsky.social 's zine which I will planning to treat myself with)
August 31, 2024 at 11:29 AM
To celebrate incorporation of @nerdsirens.bsky.social PARTNERSHIP and copper badge for OG Corny Groń, we're putting 50% discount on Beyond Corny Groń on DTRPG and itch.io, so if you planned to get folklore infused, Polish highlands inspired adventure setting - now it's the time!
