I've a new "Behind the Trees" post up on my Patreon about how to use a deck of cards in Adirondark. I'm excited about how they can be incorporated and used a few ways by both players and GMs during gameplay. Check it out!

Put together a new "Behind the Trees" post on Patreon regarding the progress on drafting the Adirondark guidebooks. Almost done with a complete first draft of the Explorers' Guidebook (players) and halfway done on the Superintendents' (GMs).

Scott offers wonderful advice here!
And timely for me too as I'm putting the final touches on my chapter for how to design Dangers and Encounters in Adirondark's Superintendents' Guidebook. And in a wilderness survival horror game... it may be wise to avoid combat.

As it started snowing at my home today, and sticking... it got me thinking about The Gray, the Power of stone, weather, and particularly the cold. Here is a throwback to my Omens of the Gray table found on my Patreon.

Snowing outside changes things a bit...
Outside in my backyard smoking a pipe, thinking, writing, creating... inspired to think about The Gray.
The Power of wind, weather, stone, and cold — the inanimate parts of nature.
What scares you about The Gray?

As I get close to publishing a beta of a PHB for my wilderness horror game, "The Adirondark Explorer's Guidebook" I am debating how to organize the order of the various chapters. I am curious how other TTRPG players believe a PHB should be organized.

This can inspire some awful imagery for Adirondark... when The Dark corrupts, it *absolutely* corrupts.

What happens when The Green, that which connects and powers all plants and fungi, rises up to battle the unnatural Dark? Your Explorer notices something that catches their eye or turns their nose...

I've decided that I'm going to start putting a costume together for next Halloween. It will also be something I can wear when GMing my turn-of-the-20th-century wilderness survival horror game.
1890s American mountain frontier meets Lovecraft.

What is the strange thing your Explorer notices that lets them know all is not right in the Great Northern Forest?
Take a look at this throwback from last year, which includes my Omen of the Red table, free on Patreon.

October so here's the Omen of the Green table for Adirondark, a turn-of-the-20th-century wilderness horror survival game in development.
People enter the wilderness for mundane reasons. But then something catches their eye, something... not quite right.

As I work on Adirondark, I'm wrestling with a few things:
1.) Playtesting: finding playtesters and coming up with the right questions/surveys/etc. to get the feedback I need. And even then, how do I get the feedback I don't even know I need?

Found this on the interwebs and I'm hoping it inspires you as much as it does me. Perhaps these phrases and terms will show up in my turn of the 20th century wilderness horror game... got the morbs?

Worked on prototype character sheets for my turn-of-the-20th-centuey wilderness horror TTRPG:
"Adirondark: The Weird Wilderness Beyond the Blue Line."
Modeled after some 1890 Census sheets, it seems a good idea to call them Explorer Census Sheets.

BRILLIANT or CRAZY idea?!?!
Make a character sheet for my turn-of-the-20th-century wilderness horror game look like an 1890s census sheet. It would include name, role, occupation, wealth, gear/assets, etc. Along with stats and derived stats.

The Superintendent can also use the cards to determine the Omen (the event that makes the Explorers aware not all is right in the wilderness) and the Power at Play for the Expedition if creating an Expedition from scratch.)
