I am an RPG lurker desirous of running more games. I like all the things. I am an unapologetic optimist and a benefit-of-doubt bestower. Bug saver, bird watcher, doggo pal, dad practitioner.
Favorite “D&D” books? Fiction not rules or adventures etc. stuff that just feels like a fantasy ttrpg.
I think my top three in order are:
The Blacktongue Thief
The Black God’s Kiss
The Broken Sword
Honorable mentions:
The Blade Itself (whole trilogy good)
Dying Earth (only ready first two)

I’m pretty sure nobody has snagged my free copy audiobook below (audible)
Do yourself a favor and take it. It’s free and it’s a good read if you like post-apoc. dystopian sci-fi.
If you grab it, please respond so nobody else will grab
Not appendix n - could be modern appendix n

I designed a bookmark for kids! I guess you/your players could use it, too?
It summarizes:
-The character creation process (referencing the free #Shadowdark quickstart)
-The player turn
-The kind of cycle of play that is typical to an #old-school #RPGs
-Dice check-related terms
I hope it's useful!

To wrap up this mini series of dungeon design readings is a post from @inplacesdeep.bsky.social on megadungeon design. It really doesn't take as much work as you might think!

If you like R.E. Howard’s Conan stories- do yourself a favor and read C.L. Moore’s Jirel stories. She’s a badass.
Solid early fantasy. Arguably better writing than Howard as well.
