Hey folks,
Welp, the day after I posted my big health and finances update I got laid off. I took a week to relax and just breathe, but now I'm hard at work on next month's adventures. I'm aiming to drop everything on the 1st as before. It feels good to be writing again. With all the crap going on in my life keeping me down, I'd forgotten h...

I know I promised you an update by the end of July, but I was waiting on some tests to come back from my doctor before I committed to anything. Now that I've got the full picture, I've decided it's time to fill you in.
I'm suffering from a variety of serious medical issues that have left me exhausted, in pain, and alm...
When I was running my previous Kickstarter for my second 5e book, Arcane Armaments, I ended up completing about 90% of the items before the Kickstarter failed and I shelved the project. How would you folks like that list of items in book form? I'm considering publishing it without fancy artwork and I want to gauge interest.
2023-05-04 18:22:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks,
I just dropped the second volume of CurseQuest and the collaboration with Critical Crafting. Right now, I'm hard at work on the Abalor adventure which I'm hoping to have up tomorrow. I'm excited to get these new adventures in your hands, and I'm even more excited to get back to my usual rhythm of posting three brand new adventur...

Hey everyone!
I'm wrapping up my work on this month's double pack of six adventures. I'm really excited to get these in your hands and see what you think. In preparation for next month, I'm working on partnering with other creators to do some cross overs and collaborations. It's all hush hush top secret right now, but I'll have more to sha...

Hey everyone!
So as some of you know, I spent the last few weeks recovering from emergency surgery. My incisions are healing up nicely and I don't seem to miss the organ they took so I think I'm gonna be okay. I was visiting family when I was rushed to the hospital, so I only got home just yesterday as I wasn't allowed to fly post-op for a...

Hey everyone,
As some of you are aware, the new OGL for D&D leaked and... oh boy... it's worse than we in the industry thought it would be.
As such, if nothing changes between now and when the OGL 1.1 is officially implemented, I'll have no choice but to stop making D&D 5e compatible content.
That means this Patreon wil...

Many years ago, the village of Blackthorn was laid waste to by an evil necromancer named Zathus. He summoned the town's own dead to rise up and attack them, and the villagers had to look on in horror as their lost loved ones clawed and tore them to pieces. The small zombie horde would've roamed the countryside unchecked had it not been for a gro...

When the world was first made, many shades of reality formed alongside it. One such plane of existence is the Feylands. A beautiful menagerie of strange creatures, colorful flora, and never-ending twilight, the Feylands are a more whimsical and fantastic version of the world most people know. The barrier between the Feylands and the Material Pla...

The road to the remote village of Swordfall is a long and winding one. It takes pilgrims who wish to visit the holy site from the main trade road, through the hills, and into the mountains where once, thousands of years ago, two gods engaged in an epic battle. Now, all that remains of the battlefield is a lone sword, several hundred feet tall, e...

There are stories of the Blood Moon, a twisted mockery of the celestial body that lights the night sky. The first recorded instance of it was over two centuries ago, when a dark sorcerer sought to bring chaos to the wilderness he called home. He channeled the powers of madness and cruelty from beyond the void and infused them into the moon itsel...

The town of Gullport was once a prosperous town. Built on a small island off the coast of Cressia, it made its mark by fishing the deep waters to the east where the catches were larger and fatter than those closer to the mainland. The town at its height had over seven hundred residents, virtually all of whom worked in the fishing trade to some d...
