Well, it’s the “holiday season”. That weird time of year when we smash together Labor Day, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Talk Like a Pirate Day, Indigenous People’s Day, Halloween, Diwali, Election Day, Veteran’s Day, Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Eve into a relentless blur of decorations, music, […]
As you may have noticed, my current OSR system darling is Cairn and the general Odd-like family of games. I really appreciate the general ethos of encouraging players to be creative problem-solvers instead of min-maxing character-sheet masters. I prefer exploration over combat. But I also love rules-light games that are easy to learn, fast to […]
My newest adventure / setting / game is now available on DriveThruRPG. Here’s the blurb: In The Undying Sea, players take on the roles of sea-faring adventurers sailing the misty currents on their siltcutter. As they discover new islands, they will encounter the conquering Tortuvan Empire, the mutant crab Brakken Hegemony, the undead Kadav Pirates, the […]
Hey, I wrote another tiny tomb, and it’s Pay What You Want (PWYW)! Here is the third of my Tiny Tomb series: Tomb of the Primate Priest. It’s just a few bizarre wooden rooms full of living tunnels, root trolls, monkey monks, and a dryad. Because every campaign should have a bunch of random little […]
A puzzle dragon is a powerful monster, but it does not have a traditional stat block. It can only be killed in one specific way. The challenge for the players is to learn how to kill the puzzle dragon, and then to perform the actions needed to do so. If they can perform the correct […]
Hey, I wrote another tiny tomb, and it’s Pay What You Want (PWYW)! Here is the second of my Tiny Tomb series: Tomb of the Tin Templar. It’s just a few bizarre rooms full of mechanical traps, tinker gnomes, electric jellyfish, and windup toys. Because every campaign should have a bunch of random little tombs […]
June 12 is my birthday, so let’s celebrate. I’m turning 45 (apparently), so on June 12 all Dungeon Age games and adventures will be $0.45. Yes, forty-five cents. Yes, all of them. But only on June 12. You know why.
Once again I am privileged to be working alongside the talented team of the Merry Mushmen to bring you not one but TWO remastered adventures. The first is The Horrendous Hounds of Hendenburgh by my new friend Liam Pádraig Ó Cuilleanáin, and the second is Raiding the Obsidian Keep by me! Want to hear more […]
Hey, I wrote a tiny tomb, and it’s Pay What You Want! So a few weeks ago I was going to run a game for my friend’s kids and I didn’t feel like writing new content. So I asked my buddy for a recommendation and he suggested Barrow of the Elf King. It’s just a […]
It took too long because I was being an obsessive perfectionist, but now it is here: Carcassay: Titan Rat City is a Lankhmar-esque (does that reference still work for most people?) city adventure full of bizarre factions and with built-in quest hooks in almost every location, plus three complete dungeons under the city. It’s 130 […]
