So one of my FAVORITE webnovels is now getting released on audible.
The Gods Are Bastards is a high-fantasy western with heavy elements of comedy, set in a post-medieval world where heroes have become frowned upon...until the gods choose new champions.
Chaos ensues.

My latest fantasy read, just started today!
I've read the first couple and...well...let me say this.
I love Jim Butcher's books, really adore them.
So far, I have been less-than blown away by Jim's. They're not at all bad, but it feels like he's trying too hard to write the next Dresden Files.

This week in my Legendary Planet #DnD game, the party battled their way through the top floor of the mansion of the wicked scientist Lomrick who had them abducted from their homeworld. Bent on putting an end to their enemy, the PCs faced guards, a garden of vampire roses, and a deadly ooze.

Having finished reading Cthulhu City I'm now going to be looking into Old Gods of Appalachia! I've wanted to take a look at this one for awhile.

24. BESM 2nd edition (retro). I MIGHT have the original around somewhere but I know that I have this one. A solid anime RPG using the tri-stat system. BESM was one of my go-to RPGs in my late-teens/early-20s when we got tired of D&D and wanted to do something different. Haven't played in awhile

To Kill a Shadow by Katherine Quinn is a YA fantasy/romance about a young woman who volunteers to travel into a deadly land of mist alongside uncertain allies and to almost certain death. I got it in an owlcrate box awhile ago and found it in my book stack.

The RPG book is Cthulhu City for the Trail of Cthulhu system, the last book I haven't read for that system. It's a campaign guide and setting guide for a twisted version of future Arkham where the Great Old Ones have triumphed and the PCs must operate int he shadows to escape.

23. Another favorite adventure, for the Ptolus campaign setting I posted earlier. I have run it a couple of times since it first came out in 3rd edition (now re-released for 5th). It's got cultists, undead, threats of barbarian invasion, a mad doctor, and more! Running it again now.

22. The game I ran today! Tiny Taverns is a fun, cozy game of running a business (tavern is standard but could also be inn, resort, school, etc.) in a fantasy world. Very fun, improv-heavy, and rules-light, good for one-shots or campaigns!

21. Bringing myself up to date on this is the game that I'll be running tomorrow morning (hopefully, if all goes well). I love CoC 7th edition, especially the use of luck to enhance failed tests, the push mechanic, etc. Call of Cthulhu is an excellent horror RPG!

20. While I'm on a 2E D&D kick, I figure I should mention this one. This is probably my favorite individual 2E adventure, definitely my favorite Ravenloft adventure. Carnivale, the Midnight Slasher, werewolves, wolfweres, treachery, enchantment, demons, and intrigue all together.

19. Yikes, totally forgot about this!
Another of my favorite 2E D&D campaigns. I ran this as a teenager for some friends and actually managed to run the entire thing. Great campaign boxed set, lots of new enemies, dungeon-crawling, roleplay, it was probably one of my favorite full 2E campaigns

Tonight's D&D! The party continues into the ratfolk warren and the king of rats reveals itself to make a psychic attack on the party as more and more rats swarm them from all sides. The twilight cleric throws up spirit guardians and twilight sanctuary as the fighter/barb gets separated from them.

Today's D&D game, the party assails a nest of plague-bearing ratfolk. The ratfolks have pushed back into their lair, rallying all their troops and are preparing to swarm the party from multiple directions while the king of rats prepares an assault of his own...

D&D tonight, the party struggles against dangerous foes. A web spell has complicated matters and everyone but the bard is webbed up.

18. This is the last of the Player's Handbooks I'll post, I've just played a lot of D&D over the years so it's what comes to mind the most.
I love 5E. Since I moved to it as my primary, table arguments dropped dramatically. Say what you will about WotC, I like it personally.

17. No, it's not cheating, they're totally different books and I'm nowhere near through my library (I mean that, I'm really not). When 3.5 came out I hadn't been playing 3E for long, so switching was easy. I found 3.5 better and used it until I largely switched to Pathfinder.

Not to be confused with the 3.5E Player's Handbook, the 3rd edition of D&D opened up a vast new world of adventure with the OGL, the introduction of feats, standardized stats, etc. While no longer my preferred edition, it was my go-to for over a decade.

Part of why I'm spending more time on Bluesky and less on Facebook. Tell me what you love!

15. I was in my 20s when Eberron came out and mostly had just played fairly standard sword & sorcery fantasy. I immediately snapped up Eberron because it was different and it was an eye-opener. A world of magical trains, airships, rich in lore...never got to run it, still makes me sad.

14. Another one from my childhood, I sent several groups of PCs into Undermountain. Also the site of one of the worst campaign meltdowns I saw as a kid where one player killed another player's character by pushing them down the well literally 5 minutes into the campaign before they even entered.

13. One of the earliest kickstarters I backed and still one of my favorites. Oubliette is a setting/world book for the Fate RPG system, a dark fantasy setting that is nonetheless based around the theme of hope. The players are trapped in a strange castle town where death is not the end.
