Armaan and I were watching pre-movie trailers and the theatre accidentally played the audio for Spider-Man: Brand New Day with the footage of the Masters of the Universe trailer. It was amazing how so many trailers follow the same beats!

The end of the campaign is in sight, and we've decided to sweeten the deal! All backers will receive 10 Alliance dossiers on key paragons and villains regardless of pledge tier. This gives backers more lore and more resources for their own campaigns at no additional cost!

In working on the no gen AI directory, I've looked at a LOT of artist portfolios. Like, 350+ of them at this point. And I thought I'd compile what I was seeing done right, what surprised me (positively), and then what I was commonly seeing done wrong. Use this to tweak your own portfolio!

From the @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social crowdfunder for the #DIE Megadungeon. I've never written a dungeon without at least one of these and usually at least three because I am a simple, basic man who is very easily amused. Find the crowdfunder link in the first comment if you want to click.

A poll for your favourite dungeoneering trope: options include Door locked with a riddle instead of a key; Loads of skulls, no other bones weirdly; Convenient bioluminescent fungus; Secret passage beneath the altar; Floor collapses once you grab The Thing; There’s actually a dragon in here; Entirely superfluous secret doors.
