What a great time to be an #rpg fan! Working on #dnd content for @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social, ran a #Daggerheart game last night and running one tonight, perusing the Draw Steel books, and planning some notes for my #GameholeCon panels. May your dice be kind!

Coming soon: Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart The ENNIE Award winning adventure redesigned for Daggerheart.

Excited to see Dungeons of Drakkenheim for Daggerheart being announced. Monty and Kelly are amazing creators, and I love what I'm seeing coming from their collaboration thus far with Mike Underwood. This has a lot of potential to be truly groundbreaking: www.kickstarter.com/projects/dun...

The title of the video is superimposed over a gaming battlemat, with several RPG books opened around the edge, including Forge of Foes, Daggerheart, Acquisitions Incorporated, Shadow of the Weird Wizard, Draw Steel, Alice is Missing, Shadowdark, The Monster Overhaul, and the 2024 D&D Monster Manual.

Excerpt from a book of English folklore I’m reading. Looks like powdered frog is the material component of a knock spell.

It’s signed on my computer screen…

Wait, everything is!

Look Mom, I'm on D&D Beyond!

Not only did I get to contribute to one of my favorite series, but it's also available on one of my favorite D&D sites!

It was a huge privilege to be a small part of this project.
I still can't believe I was so lucky!

I hope everyone enjoys Ostoya!

black hairy creature at the base of an ancient tree, surrounded by artifacts. An ancient helmet, a purse spilling its contents in the grass, an old sword, a satchel and a boot... with the leg bone still in it. In the background is another large tree in silhouette with some more of these little creatures sitting in the branches.

two small four legged lizard like creatures on some rocks with hills behind them and a moody sky. They are brown and mottled so they find it easy to hide in the rocks.

the head and neck of a large red dragon with a horned snout and lots of jagged teeth and a dark blue tongue. It is covered in bony plate-like scales

mockup of a book cover with 'savage strangehollow' written on the front and the texture of the cover is pink and purple blotches at the top merging to green ones below. The hide of some exotic creature.

Hey gang! I'm launching my new book Savage Strangehollow on the 2nd of September. If you'd like to be notified, then just join my newsletter (link above).
Strangehollow is a vast enchanted forest, filled with extraordinary beasts and magical beings...
