Yesterday I finished the last ornaments and portraits for @labyrinthine-press.itch.io and @spacepenguinink.bsky.social 's upcoming folk horror module for Cairn 2e. I'm proud to have worked on this project and am super excited to see it in print. Thanks for the trust!

If you're looking for a dungeon on your doorstep, Duginthroat Divided is a comprehensive and brilliantly illustrated adventure for OSE. It features over 100 keyed locations, all brought to life by a team of really talented creators. You'd be doing a disservice to yourself for not checking it out.

A map to a forgotten valley where the honey is sweet & the children are sent away with vacant eyes. Every path leads closer to the hive's embrace. Stunning art by @danielharila.bsky.social for my Cairn folk horror adventure, The Beekeeper's Tithe. #Cairn #TTRPG #OSR #FolkHorror #Cartography

​I am excited to start playtesting a folk horror adventure I have been working on for Cairn 2e. ​For me, the best part of design is always that moment at the table when players begin to truly grapple with the central themes, creating an emergent story you could never have fully anticipated. #ttrpg

I've been reading Emily Dickinson, and this one stuck out to me. Maybe how I should be as a person. If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain.

Deep into writing a new folk horror adventure for Cairn. It all starts with a simple contract to investigate a silent village... but what do you do when you arrive and find not a massacre, but a paradise? And why are its perfectly happy residents sending their children away with empty eyes? #ttrpg

I've seen some people disheartened at their Appendix N jam rankings, and I know this sounds corny as fuck; but I'm proud of you & your work, and FAR more importantly, you should be too! You made something constrained by time, theme, & space- then put it out into the world to be judged. That's brave
