I finally picked up my physical copy of Wicked Good Adventures! I'm honored to have helped with this adventure anthology and shout out to Amber of @dmsafterdark.bsky.social / WW Public Library. She put in so much work and flipping through it feels so good! Can't wait to run the adventures!

I can show this now!! This has been one of my favourite things to draw this year and I can't wait for this book to come out in December 😍 Working with indie authors is always such a joy ✨ Will be showing off the sketches at some point too 😏

For solo RPG club today I played Dark Mall, a liminal dead mall crawl in this issue of TUMULUS. I survived gathering video evidence of the Whistler, the Mall Walker, and the Balloon Cloud before barely escaping! And I love the included exercises that get you thinking about ways to improve the game.
