Within these sun-scorched lands, whispers speak of a golden citadel rising from the dunes: the last redoubt of the Sun-Kings, a place of treasure and terror, guarded by the remnants of elder powers. Now, a fungal doom spews across the land as fueding factions alike fall under its' shadow.
Beyond the walled river town of Najad, ruled by an unstable regime and riven with dissent, lies the Red Wastes: a wild region of blazing sun and shifting sands, scattered with ruins of empires long turned to dust.

What a treat reading this interviews/essay covering some of the absolute weirdos in SF that are elevated by the idiot whims of our gonzo VC tech barony era

Fun thing that's just a bit too loose for publishing or a blog entry - I've been putting "Vengeance Monster" entries on my random encounter tables. When I roll that, I pick out an adversary the players have faced before, add a few ranks and a new ability or two, and give it some... (1/2)

Fresh post up, some day I'll get back to blogging regularly again!
"Just tell them" is such an underrated piece of advice for telegraphing dangers in RPGs.
"How can I hint that the hallway is trapped? How can I hint that if they defeat the dungeon lord, they become the next dungeon lord?"
Just tell them. Tell them out loud. With your words.
I want to print this blogpost out and tape it to my bathroom mirror to recite like an affirmation each morning. There's a million ways to have fun with games but this pithily sums up what I personally enjoy most in playing or running an RPG.

Proud to announce that my enormous infernal OSE adventure module “The Shrike” has won gold for best long form adventure at the ENNIE awards! Thank you to everyone who voted for us! You will be spared from eternal life marooned upon the monstrous iron edifice!
Ahhh yeah!
Would appreciate your Ennies vote for The Shrike for best long form adventure! Nobody does extradimensional hellscape sandbox adventurers like Leo.
