This blog post by Tyler Broor breaks down where he and his players have used The Canine 2.0 class at the table and he ties it into a story of the grief of losing his own loving companion, Duke. Its a wonderfully honest review and touching at the same time. tylerbroor.blogspot.com/2026/02/sorc...

12 Days of Campaign-mas: Day 10 Stennard is a grimdark campaign setting for DCC from Breaker Press Games. Nick Baran, the creator of Stennard, is the DCC rep for my local convention, so I always enjoy picking up one of his products when I see him each year. #TTRPG

Cover of Hillwood Camp by Nick Baran for the Dungeon Crawl Classics TTRPG. On the cover, an adventurer hides behind a rock while a giant bear, covered in spikes and breathing noxious gas, looks for them.

Beyond the gate, a forest shrouded in the darkness of night can be seen, and a ghoul-like creature with white eyes stands on the path.
