I haven't talked about this on this account, just on my non-TTRPG account, but this is why I've been so quiet since GenCon.

It's yet another #selfpromosaturday and you might enjoy reading my newest blog post, where I discuss the media that most inspires my writing & the way I run my home games

There are also still 7 slots remaining in my next zine, The Azurite Armory, starting at just $5!

🎲 #OSR #TTRPG

Azurite Armory: A collection of system-neutral OSR-style magic weapons and/or items, based on songs chosen by donors, 1 song each, who all get a free PDF of the final collection & a shout out named credit next to their submitted song. Each weapon with its own art from my purchased or licensed stock art collections (B&W silhouettes) Payments made through my Ko-Fi, where you can list your chosen song. You may also do so in my DMs or these replies! https://ko-fi.com/creativewronging

🔪 $5 to join in with your magic weapon based on a chosen song, with crediting, and a copy of the final PDF containing all entries, BUT there are additional features your entry gets for donating more than minimum; 🛡 2x minimum ($10): You get to pick a specific magic weapon OR item type you want (bow, sword, instrument, armor, etc...) for your song entry 🗡 5x minimum ($25): I give your entry premium treatment with an associated roll table of your choice to accompany it (lore, plot hooks, multiple possible powers, wielders, possible locations, etc...) ⚔ 10x minimum ($50): my eternal thanks for your kindness & generosity! Also, a FULL PAGE treatment for your badass item with all of the above; lore, plot hooks, & other similar roll tables

Happy Wizard Wednesday! 🧙‍♂️

I am now officially collecting entries for my next #OSR #TTRPG zine; The Azurite Armory ⚔

This is the sequel to last year's music-based system-neutral Azurite Spellbook & the rules to become a part of the zine are listed below 🎲

Home from #GenCon! Ran 3 #OldGodsofAppalachia games for @montecookgames.com and got to meet a BSky moot in person! (Ain't gonna tag w/out permission, tho.)

I'm bushed, y'all. And proving that there is no justice in this world, I have to work tomorrow.

Probably more soon, assuming I has brains.

Congratulations to you both!

#GenCon prep!

Reading through the adventure I'll be running for @montecookgames.com, making notes, rereading it, printing table tents, prepping the by-request game for an old friend, packing (UGH,) making a shopping list -

IP characters "die" when you stop paying attention to their stories. You carry your preferred version of their history with you. The rest is just water over Reichenbach Falls.

You are not unclean. You are not a vessel for sin. You are not the creation of others. You create yourself.

I've got 13 days until rent is due and I have to start paying off the back balance. I really need to scrape up $250 by Tuesday for a pricey appointment and another $2000 by the 1st. I'd prefer to make some sales but donations via Paypal are also appreciated. Please share!

Right there with ya, Pal.

Here, have some solidarity and support, along with the hope that you're able to heal.

I'm (kinda unexpectedly) going to #CharCon in July!

I'll be running three #OldGodsofAppalachia games - the organizers reached out to a buddy of mine and asked for OGoA games specifically.

This'll be my first time at CharCon - anyone who follows me been before?

Your art might not go viral today—but it might reach exactly the weirdo who needed it. 💌🌈

SOME OF THE PLAYERS FROM THIS GAME WERE IN MY AFTERNOON GAME TODAY AND OTHERS CAME BY TO SAY HI AND I MIGHT GET TO CHAT WITH THEM ALL OR RUN A PICKUP GAME LATER AND I AM VIBRATING WITH JOY!
