i love surprises in the mail. @BrokenContract
ALT Alter of Embers pamphlet adventure
Two days ago I shipped out Altar of Embers to my Patreon supporters via both USPS and DTRPG. This pamphlet adventure was designed for a wizard to earn their first spells but has additional hooks to entice a party. Check it! youtu.be/h_DwOZ-ocUE?si=He8T…
My new DCC RPG Basics video: Clerics & Divine Aid. Divine Aid is one of the most unique abilities a DCC Cleric has access to. Similar to Cantrip, it can be a small miracle, but depending on your judge and your imagination, mighty miracles are possible! youtu.be/cBkTK_ApHHQ
Thorin is not the only one who was drafted into March Madness. I am facing off against legend, Daniel J. Bishop with my Tragedy at Wood-Witch Rise adventure. When voting opens tomorrow, heed the whispers of the Wood-Witch!

Hi Everyone! My latest #Kickstarter just launched for the Blights ov the Eastern Forest #dungeonsynth album. The music, performed by DUNJON MAGIK, was inspired by the 1st level campaign adventure I wrote for Dungeon Crawl Classics. Cheers!

Elon’s goal is not efficiency or shrinking govt, it’s to consolidate power. No accident that he is systematically targeting the agencies that were trying to investigate or regulate him (NLRB, CFPB, Labor…)

you din't hear this from me. But a little birb told me Loot the Body lost their garage studio, along with guitars & music equipment in the fires. They'r a friend & member of our community. They don't want any help, but they deserves it. Go buy his music.

I love running this adventure for DCC. It’s just the place to let all those mighty deeds rip.

If you’re in the US and making zines, I’ve made a postage table for you.
The USPS page can be overwhelming, and it doesn’t tell you how to put together $2.36 in postage. This does. Don’t wait in line to mail your stuff globally.

It’s best on desktop.

Boooooooooks!!!
THE GOAT player character class from Breaker Press by Nick Baran. Should go well w/ the Canine! Hopes he keeps churning out animal PC classes, it'd be so fun to have an all animal campaign!
Next, Basic Fantasy: The Endless Tunnels of Enlandin by Stefan Poag? Wow😯

Some images from the soon-to-be-released ASSAULT ON WITCHGATE 13! We were behind schedule because of my aneurysm, but we’ve been going hard in the paint since I’ve been getting better. I’m very proud of this DCC mega-adventure (and a deep dive on hags) and I hope you guys dig it!
Do you want something free in the mail to get a taste of what being one of my Patrons is like? Well, for the next week, the first taste is free! ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, BTW. #dccrpg #ttrpg patreon.com/posts/118566857

Picked up proofs of The Goat class guides and spotted errors in the equipment chart, on the inside cover. I just fixed them and re-uploaded the PDFs to DTRPG and Itch. I'll send new files to the printer shortly.
