I really like how the Klingon D7 battle cruisers are coming along. I painted them all silver. And then I used contrast green and brushed it on until it was very thin, more like a wash than a contrast paint. I like the way it looks.

Three little 3-D printed Klingon ships painted a metallic green.

Four years I have refused to allow myself to print anything that wasn’t medieval fantasy because I don’t need to fill my basement with entire other genres. This week that resolved crumbled. #startrek

I played Dragonbane for the first time at Gamehole last month. I ran the same adventure yesterday. It was a blast. All of my players want to continue and one of them wants to turn around and run the adventure himself. #TTRPG #Freeleague #Dragonbane

I’m still not sure who the old man in the mirror is. I mean he looks like he knows stuff. I just don’t know who he is. What’s he doing in my mirror?

Some old guy in a green hoodie and glasses

I know that Disney got Marvel to change the original design of Howard the Duck because it resembled Donald too much. But now that they’re one big happy family maybe we could go back to it.

Just played the first of five Wardens of the Eastern Marches organized play games at Gamehole Con and got this cool swag. #ttrpg #conventions

Double sided badges! Because you know no matter which way you wear your lanyard, they always turn over. Very smart. Never seen a convention do this before.

Yesterday the proof copy of The Bense Trilogy, the #TTRPG hardcover of adventures set in the Norse-themed city of Bense and powered by @koboldpress.com' #TalesoftheValiant #5e system came. And it looks great!

Three Nordic heroes stride the streets of a Norse-style city.

Oh I like it in a set of many different polyhedrons. But I’m turned off by game systems that use them exclusively. Been eyeing this:

Lou Anders @louanders.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Happy to see that the project that is the furthest along is getting the most votes! But the hex crawl is proving more popular than I anticipated. If you like what we do and haven't yet, cast your vote for our next #TTRPG #TalesoftheValiant project. forms.gle/bimDzAUcSaxT...

There's an amazing Norse-themed Kickstarter from Kobold Press right now (I'm backing heavily). But if you want a quick Scandinavian fix while you wait on those books, here's $10 off my original Norrøngard setting. #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg #norse www.drivethrurpg.com/en/browse?di...

This guy has hung in my office for 25 years and in my apartment for maybe five more years before that. I bought it in Wayne Barlowe’s gallery in Los Angeles sometime in the mid 90s. Nowonly pieces of art in my office so now things associated with my own books and games. But I’m going to miss him.

So... how about $10 off the PDF of the original Norrøngard Campaign Setting? 232 pages of amazing world lore, monsters, and mechanics. Why not? #TTRPG #dungeonsanddragons www.drivethrurpg.com/en/browse?di...

Omg! I got the Labyrinth box from @beadleandgrimms.com and @koboldpress.com I thought it was only pulling material from the world book and not from the adventure book, so I was thrilled to discover it does pull from the adventures! I have stuff in a B&G’s product! (not posting contents, spoiler!)

This. #TTRPG release from @koboldpress.com has mostly flown under the radar. It’s a starter adventure for Tales of the Valiant that seems to me to be on the level of LMoP in scope and scale and breath of tiers of play. I’m really looking forward to digging into it.
