Are you (or do you know) a #DnD DM in Chicago? Come to the Book Cellar in Lincoln Square (4736 N Lincoln Ave) tomorrow night at 7 for a celebratory reading/signing of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING, my guide to combat tactics revised and expanded for 5.5E! www.bookcellarinc.co...

A copy of REMONSTERED! THE MONSTERS KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING on a black cloth backdrop, surrounded by colorful dice. On the cover, five adventurers—a dragonborn paladin, a forest gnome barbarian, an orc druid, a tiefling bard and a goliath sorcerer—are fighting a rakshasa in the richly appointed office of a royal adviser. On the rear wall is a portrait of a handsome, mustachioed human who wears the exact same robes of honor as the rakshasa. The rakshasa is savagely tearing into the paladin's throat with its claws. The look on the paladin's face is of someone unexpectedly confronting his own mortality. The shellshocked barbarian looks like she's about to drop her absurdly oversize axe; the bard and the sorcerer are clearly terrified, holding their weapons limply. The druid, on the other hand, looks resolute, angry and unafraid. The book is photographed at an angle so that you can see it's very thicc.

I sure have a soft spot for old game books with semi-professional quality. The approachable style reminds us that we can be creative even if we're not pros. Here's a #Glorantha magazine from 1995, with Sandy Peterson writing about dragon magic. This & more now on eBay. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_...

What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times? The only other movies in serious contention here are White Christmas and Star Wars Episode IV, but Casablanca is my dad's absolute favorite movie, so I watch it with him once or twice a year.

To be clear: If “TTRPGs” in your scholarship, teaching, & outreach start & end with D&D — or even GMed games — that’s a skill issue you need to reconsider. You’re gonna get left behind.

Woke up to a bizarre billing alert on my personal, dormant AWS account. Turns out it is a code error on the AWS side (health.aws.amazon.com/health/status). That being said, it's always a great idea to spend a few minutes reviewing your login security and billing there.

I was thrilled to talk with Teos and Shawn at @masteringdnd.bsky.social this week. We talked about Designers & Dragons: Origins, of course, but dug into some nice history too: Greyhawk's dungeons, Jack Fred, Palace of the Silver Princess!

Really fun to read the new #DnD Adventures in Faerun book! I’m amazed the team seems to have advanced the calendar by 7-9 years to 1501 DR. Previous 5E adventures are now in the rearview mirror. We skipped some years and some fun years yet to come! alphastream.org/index.php/20...

Reshare: Even as TSR and D&D’s early periods receive the gold-standard treatment, there’s much more to the hobby than one game and one company. But are those histories actually important? What is at stake if we forget them? www.rascal.news/we-cant-let-...

This is basic but I'm doing a lot of economic history right now for Tides of History and the reason prosperity and growth matter is because they usually make people's lives better: having enough to eat, access to shelter, avoidance of violence and massive stress, that's what economies are for.

Part of my possibly unfortunate fixation on the "medieval" part of "medieval fantasy" means that I would like to see fewer (or no) D&D characters with surnames, and more should have lineage-names ("Ragnal, Erik's Son"), epithets ("Halfdan Worm-Tamer"), or place-names ("Aethel of Badwall").
