I'm nearing completion of a home renovation on my basement, which means that it *should* be just a couple more days until I can get my workshop set back up and back to some hobby stuff.

Work in progress on a short dungeon crawl I’ll be running for some friends. Planning to release it as a FREE intro module for my next big project once it’s cleaned up a bit!
I’m REAL bad at social media. Like, super bad. I find basically all versions of the social internet to be wholly overwhelming.
But it also lets me share stuff like this, where I was interviewed on Tavern Talks:

Only two more days to sign up for my last session of Beneath the Iron Abbey at PAGE. I’m completely sold out for all my other sessions, so get in while you can!

Hey @justinsirois.bsky.social, are you gonna have any of the multiple goblin packs of wooden minis at PAGE this weekend? I may have a module that’s cooking in my mind that I’d like to grab them for…
If anyone is going to the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo in January, I'll be running three sessions of my Shadowdark Adventure "Beneath the Iron Abbey." It was a late addition to the schedule since all the other shadowdark sessions are filled up, so check it out!

A picture of three witches potions: All Seeing Draught: See invisible for 1d6 rounds. CON DC14 or lose an eye permanently. Philter of Physicality: Adv on melee attacks for 1d6 rounds. Each round, 1:6 chance of going berserk and attacking a random target. Mother’s Love: Heals 8d6. 3:6 chance paralyzed for d4 rounds by hallucinations of mother’s disappointment.
On the third day of critmas, my GM gave to me…
Three witches brews
On the second day of critmas, my GM gave to me:
Two dungeon doors
Thankfully it isn’t COVID, but the con crud I caught at PAX has completely wiped me out for the past four days.
On the first day of critmas, my GM gave to me…
A cursed dagger made just for me!
All in all, it was a great con. Definitely learned stuff, definitely figured out what to do better for my next adventures and my next convention. Gonna be heading into 2025 with some big plans, so keep about a fifth of an eye here, there’s cool stuff coming!
PAX was kind of a mixed bag for me this year. I had a great time, got to connect with some awesome people, and worked a table for the first time (and sold some of my own stuff!), but I also had a whole group decide to no show for a game session I was running, which put a damper on things on Sunday.
They’re the small parties(?) line from @justinsirois.bsky.social — Severed Books is the company. They’re awesome! I’ve been using them for all my portable set ups.
Day 2 of PAX is in the books! Ran an AWESOME #shadowdark session, and got to work the IGDN booth for the first and meet a bunch of amazing creators! Now for dinner, beers, and *sleep*
Always a fan of running in to people at conventions who’ve made a big difference in the way I run my games. I love getting to tell creators how much their work has meant to me.
On my way to PAX* (thanks phone and sausage fingers!). Let’s go!!
ALL of my paid #Shadowdark titles are on sale both on DriveThruRPG and Itch.io! That includes my first published module, The Tomb of Ostrabaris (50% off!) as well as my Priest and Wizard Spell cards, available both in Print and PDF for 30% off!

For the first time EVER, I’m actually busy during PAXU! I’ll be running 4 different gaming sessions and working at the IGDN booth, leaving my personal wandering time at a bit of a premium. I’m *mostly* interested in small publishers and cool grimdark artists. Who should I check out?
Now available for #ShadowdarkRPG: Beneath the Iron Abbey - A trifold dungeon for 3rd level characters. I'll be running it in the Free Play room at #PAXUnplugged in a few weeks, and physical copies will be available for sale via the IDGN! Get it now:

Holy crap thanks for sharing this! I’ve been searching for a good hex tile kit forever and this never came up in my searches.
That looks slick! Mind if I ask where the image assets came from? I’m always trying to find a good hex tile set to use, and I haven’t managed to find one yet.
I can now say that I finished all my testing for my day job, so I can finally devote any time at all to creative purposes. I’ll be uploading my new shadowdark trifold later today, and I’m working on getting a blog going again so I can actually engage with the community.
Just go tmy ticket and accommodations for the Philadelphia Area Gaming Expo (PAGE2). I've got one more week until I'm finished with my testing for my day job advanced certifications (yay), so I'm working on getting stuff set up for next year -- one of my big goals is to go to more cons!
New from Lost Heretic Press: Santa Must DIE! a grimdark pointcrawl through Santa's workshop designed for one-shot play and compatible with MORK BORG. Check it out, it's PWYW on both itch.io and DriveThruRPG!

Got out into the woods near my house to recharge some creative energy.
Haven’t posted a lot since making the switch over to here, cause I’ve been wicked busy prepping for an exam for my day job, but expect more coming soon!
I’ll be at PAXU! I’m running a bunch of games and I’ll have some of my stuff available through the IGDN booth!
In my country, it depends on how you structure your “company.” If you’re operating a sole proprietorship, which is to say it’s just you and you have a trade name, you’re not technically required to separate your money out (I still do cause I find it to be good practice)
It’s probably one of my most frequently revisited posts — I use the ideas in it all the time!
