Delve! Zine Update

So, yeah, I've been neglecting to post lately.  Not due to being overcome by my natural lazy tendencies, but I've actually been spending quite a bit of time on Delve!  I've finished writing the adventure, now I've got to write the spell descriptions for the ten new spells (Arthritic Word, Bestill thy Heart, Bloat, Bone Spur, Consumption, Cancerous Touch, Evil Eye, Famine, Fever Dream and Jaundiced Eye).  I've also got a few new monsters, and four new magic items.  So I'm getting closer but still a bit of work to do.  And then there is the art.  I've got at least six new pieces of art to do for this project.  It's looking like it'll weigh in around 36 pages digest size.  I'll do a free pdf release and then look into print options.  I don't have a release date yet other than it'll be done when it's done.  Quite a bit of a learning curve here for me and I've learned how to do things but perhaps more importantly how not to do things.  I think for my next outing, I'll be a little ambitious ;).  Happy gaming!

    Yeah I learned a ton doing my first issue and seem to be learning just as much doing the second. A fun labor though. Keep us updated and kick your artist in the butt. You gotta watch those guys.

Neurodiversity and Dragons - the adventure begins!

  Tl;dr: Kia ora all! I don’t often post much about my personal life, but as a parent of two neurodiverse teens, I reckoned that I’d post some of my experience in gaming here on our journey. My daughter was diagnosed with autism almost a year ago and my son is dyslexic/dysgraphia with ADHD like presentation. Both are incredibly bright and very different from each other (my son has lots of friends and is very bright and gregarious if also very lazy while my daughter is very retreating and shy but incredibly driven and motivated). They both love fantasy and fantasy literature, movies and gaming has been a way for us all to connect. Though often what works for one, doesn’t necessarily work for the other. This brings me to my point, I am working on trying to best accommodate the needs of my neurodiverse daughter and include her in an experience that she very much wants to participate in, but often feels frustrated and overwhelmed by. This is an introduction to our journey so far.   For s

I like pie!

Cyclopeatron made an interesting blog post which I tend to agree with. Most conent posts don't get responses but opinion posts do. I've noticed the trend in my own blogging as well. There is some incredibly interesting content being generated out there in OSR blog land. I think folks tend to react more to opinion pieces because no one really wants to 1) either say your stuff sucks on a blog post or 2) only say "that's cool man". I tell you what, I cherish the "that's cool man posts", it at tleast let's me know folks are paying attention. As to the your stuff sucks, well those are OK too as long as they tell me why they think my stuff sucks so I know how to try and improve it. At any rate, I like pie. It even tastes better when I had to kill an orc to get it ;).
