Alan Patrick🔜Dragon Con

Really appreciate it, but I'll admit that doing the stat blocks is a needful part of my process. Despite my protestations I'll get them done, likely today :)

After production is wrapped on this stuff for Gamehole Con, I'm in limbo with TTRPG contracts. Not actively seeking anything and generally deferring to other talented creators. Might take up some review of other systems, might return to this Miskatonic project I've had floating around for too long.

I love designing new RPG content. I hate transcribing/formatting stat blocks.

Anyways, I hope everyone coming to Gamehole Con in October really digs this epic adventure, the capstone for the new Wardens of the Eastern Marches campaign that launches there!

Ooooh. Most of these are on Netflix.
- The Ritual
- The Color Out of Space (w/Nick Cage)
- Ouija
- Oats Studios (shorts but very good)
- Archive 81
- Midnight Mass (the life after death discussion is -haunting-)

Also, 30 Pieces on HBO Max is a lot of fun.

Love it!

I once ran a streaming game where Matt Lillard was one of my players. Alongside the DDAL admins, Beadle (of Beadle & Grimm's!) explored Undermountain where he was chosen by a sentient ioun stone. This is a copy of the mechanics & lore for that stone!

I tried Expedition 33 today.

Holy crap, what an opening.

It was too late for me a loooong time ago.

I'm at a Buffalo Wild Wings in Medina, OH. It's 930 pm.

I feel like this is the opening scene of a Call of Cthulhu scenario.

I've recently picked up an itch to write like mad again. Between a couple projects and my own notes/ongoing thing, I think I'm around 30k words in the last 10 days. That's one benefit of work travel: I hole up in the hotel room and scribble each night.

Fully agreed. I work them in when it's thematically appropriate, like with magic items that are central to the plot of an adventure. I mean, we've been doing it for a long time - it was nice to see similar validation in the attunement scenes in the D&D movie.

I never joined - I was a Paizo venture officer at the time, then took on the DDAL role. But man, the PG people had a great rep around here

Oh hot damn. @steamforgedgames.bsky.social is bringing back the Pressgang program for Warmachine - just announced at Adepticon in Milwaukee.

Not sure if it will cover their RPG play, but having this program return is HUGE.

Gary Con is all done, and now I've gotta get these TTRPG products wrapped up. Boston next week, and d8 Summit on the near horizon!

From a lunch conversation today: Henry Cavill as Sabertooth, and Daniel Radcliffe as Wolverine.

I'm in favor!

Ever been at a game store and had the feeling of "I should buy that pack right there"?

Well, sometimes it pays off.

I want to write more, but it's an expensive proposition. People rages against realistic prices for PDFs, scream "PDFs should be FrEe!!", etc. Time is expensive. Art is expensive, be it visual or text. I'm asking myself more and more "is publishing this worth my time?" a lot. Mental health, yo.

The End of Everything. We wanted to visit a world/adventure where things are weird, weirder, chaos, CHAOS, and so we ended up with this tome. Hastur's themes are throughout the sequence and the final setpiece (and linked lore) has been received really well!

@alexkammer.bsky.social and I wrote a whole book on this very king!

My Cthulhu? Called.

HAHAHAHAHA there's no syntax checking or anything, you can make up source email addresses and hit this form.

I mean, if you were into such things.

Oh hey, the hr@opm.gov address is accepting emails again. We should be reporting what we did last week, right?

UK Games Expo is a pretty fantastic event, and congrats to the designers running their own AL stuff!

My son and I have been playing a lot of HeroQuest and could use another player!

Who's gonna find me at Gary Con in a couple weeks? I'm running some preview games for the upcoming Gamehole Con "Wardens of the Eastern Marches" campaign but I have plenty of available time as of right now!

My vote would be for Dungeon Crawl Classics/ Goodman Games - have you seen their cover art? The show would be -amazing-!

Plus they've been on the 50 yard line for a couple years so they know their field.

D&D @ Gen Con is moving from the JW Marriott over the Lucas Oil Stadium. I think this means that they're either gonna fight the True Dungeon folks, or combine forces for what is possibly the most epic LARP event Indy has ever seen.

I WAS gonna attend Magic Con Chicago this weekend, but a confluence of events has resulted in that plan being canceled.

SO!

I guess I'm reading up on Call of Cthulhu 7th edition this weekend instead :)

Sassy Szassy just doin' what he does.
