I thought I had lost these. My maps of @necropraxis.bsky.social’s Pahvelorn. Do the youth even know this was the greatest campaign ever? Hugely influential to me, and many others. Grognardia walked so Brendan could run and all that.

I have improved the Designing Dungeons Course (dungeons.hismajestytheworm.games) with the Just the Games widgets (games.puzzledungeon.com). Now, the site has an expanded left navigation bar, persistent popout windows on hover, and a dice tray in case you want to randomize your procedures! Check it!

If you're a roleplaying designer, put something like this in all your contracts. If you're a fiction writer, put something like this in all your contracts. (Except it needs to add marketing with AI as also forbidden).

Won't work for everyone but I was able to purge old dead notes enough to fit within the 'beginner' subscription which gets you one more year at the same level. Trick for me was to manually delete the 'bin'. Has jolted me into digital house-cleaning and archiving - doubt I'll pay another year.
