Check out @ghosttropic.org s fresh release!

Music and sound design are an underutilized resource. Wouldn’t it be nice to have it curated for a session by someone who really knows their stuff?

Not many modules can boast that they have original music can they?

I’m notoriously bad at keeping up with social media, but as I slowly move away from Instagram I may be posting here more often.

Still very excited about Devil’s Due and seeing the progress on the stretch goal art!

I’ve got the coolest brother y’all.

Finished Hero of Ages by Brandon Sanderson last night. Damn, talk about planting the seeds from the very beginning. After reading so much George Martin over the past few years I can see the appeal of an author that plans their whole story out rather than growing it in the “garden” style Martin does.

Chris Air is making “Not Enough Scoundrels,” a space trucker, smuggler, and ships supplement. I interviewed him here about managing an abundant imagination and inspirations for his other mothership mini hack 5 Million Worlds.

Been barreling through the Final Empire series by Brandon Sanderson. I’m really fascinated by his worldbuilding, only 300 pages left to go and I can’t wait to have some of the answers I’ve been waiting on!

I’m wrapping up my first ever DnD campaign in a few weeks, after running it for about four years now.

Excited to finish planning the finale, and even more excited to work on something new afterwards.

After years of plot threads intersecting, it’ll be nice to start writing with a clean slate!

Only a few hours left to get a sick Devil’s Due patch designed by @scragend.bsky.social.

As a massive fan of decked-out jackets, I’m already deciding where to sew mine on!

Be sure to check out the other projects as well, the Iron Hive patch is another favorite!

Anyone else find this true about themselves?

When I find a fantasy world or series that influences me I tend to latch on to one key detail that I bring back into my work whether I’m aware of it or not.

After reading Asoiaf I found myself drawing up flags and house words for the humans in my world!

An example of the types of dioramas I enjoy creating. Been experimenting with using more recycled materials each build as well!

Hello all,

I figure since I’m new to this platform an introduction is warranted for new followers.

I am Allen McClelland, 29, he/him, and I am a Michigander, animal lover, avid reader, writer, and TTRPG player.

MoSh is my current focus but here’s a peek at the types of things I enjoy creating.

Working with my brother has been such a blast! He previously helped me develop a lot of ideas for my early modules, as well as contributed art to both Analog Survey and Arkady’s Outpost. Excited to see what he does next!

Couldn’t be a more exciting first step into the TTRPG creation scene. As much as I enjoyed writing my own crew, Starcrossed Mercy, my favorite part was co-writing Ragtag Rustlers with the talented @staticdistance.bsky.social who brought me into the project!

Devil's Due includes Captain Eclipse and her Dark Arcana space pirate crew.

She is the sun, the moon, the world, your judgment.

One of TEN space pirate crews in the 100+pg book!
