I love cold Chinese leftovers so much that I will literally call in a takeout order with no intention of eating it hot—even while I’m cooking dinner—just to stick it in the fridge until it’s time for a midnight snack. 🥡

What is the point of posting screenshots of all the terrible stuff from Twitter here?

Bluesky should be more than a hub for people who still spy on their X...

It's not a secret: I love Shadowdark. The latest Kickstarter expansion launched this morning, and I would be very surprised if it does not break the 1 million dollar mark before sunset. Kelsey has found the impossible hole in the Dragon's impenetrable armor. The King is dead, long live the Queen 👑

I am obsessed with music.

This is my first attempt at a series of thematic playlists for well-known D&D adventures.

This is Cursed Country Roads: Music Inspired by Curse of Strahd.

A simple table is all you need to create an amazing adventure. This list is inspired by the #Shadowdark corebook. Have a player roll for each prompt. Snag a small map from @dysonlogos.bsky.social then fill it with 6-12 enemies, 1-2 traps, a lost npc, and a thematic boss who drops cool treasure! 😎

I guess it's #SelfPromoSaturday.

My 44-page zine quest project wraps up Thursday! It teaches how to adapt & create your own monsters for #Shadowdark using 3 separate methods, & you can get it for as little as $2.

We're nearly to unlocking a sweet stretch goal as well!

@jpcoovert.bsky.social's latest youtube video is all about drawing one of my #YearoftheMonster creations, the Lizardfolk Wizard!

I'm having a TON of fun working on the Shadowdark adaptation of JP's Dragon Town and the Darkness Below, which should be released in early summer!

Kelsey Dionne, @jpcoovert.bsky.social & @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social were all kind enough to chime in with their thoughts on my Shadowdark monster-making zine.

I'm hoping to reach 300 followers before it launches tomorrow for as part of #ZineQuest!

If you've been running lots of fragile breadcrumb trails, one of the tricky things about the Three Clue Rule is breaking the instinct to panic whenever the players don't immediately understand a clue.

It's OK. You don't have to force it.

Mystery scenarios for roleplaying games have earned a reputation for turning into unmitigated disasters: The PCs will end up veering wildly off-course or failing to find a particular clue and the enti

Tonight, I discovered my DM has been using Hobo Code to track our world map. I never realized how well those shorthand symbols could work in a TTRPG. With a few tweaks, they’d be perfect for dungeon delving or world exploration for even the laziest of DMs or Players.

We rode past the ruins following the trail of the stolen shard of magic. Someone had been living there for a while and they called for us as we sped past.

Hoping they had seen the thieves, we paused to discover one of their kin struck by a foul curse.

Currently working on adapting this with "Eldritch Hack" by Dan Masters (available on drivethrurpg), to run for some friends who are new to Call of Cthulhu. I am a huge fan of rules-light systems, and this happens to be one of my favorite live plays

Did you know Stingbats have become Shadowdark's unoffical mascot?

Pre-kickstarter, during the OGL crisis, Kelsey was feverishly removing facets of the OGL from the game. Then the humble Stirge became a Stingbat! She & the community loved it so much that the name stayed!

RPG tip from the archive: Use rough abstract battle maps with relative distances when players can't visualize pure theater of the mind.
