The offer is simple: break the curse, awaken the princess. Are you worthy enough to brave the briar-choked castle and its dangers? Or will you be forever trapped on its haunted grounds?

It's jacket weather somewhere ✨

I miss painting jackets and rocking a cool painted jacket. Lucky for me I have cool photos of my cool jackets 😌

A photo of a black leather jacket laid flat with Dungeon Master painted in pale yellow and blue on the back with a skull with antlers and dice. A lit candle, leather journal and crochet fabric is placed around the jacket.

A pale blue jacket is laid flat with Roll of Cool painted in white on the back in ornate vintage style lettering. Dice, old books, string lights and crochet lace placed around it.

A beige jacket is laid flat with vinyl records placed on and around it. Chaotic Average text is painted on the back of the jacket in white and orange with a d20 illustration in the centre.

There is of course an actual campaign in the last few hours... if you were worried about probability curves and @armadajosh.bsky.social has soothed any concerns then you can back the 2d10 game here ;)

Becky Annison 🔜 Ex Tenebris is Kickstarting now! @beckyannison.bsky.social · 1d

If only the poor people making this unwise criticism knew how much of my life involves @armadajosh.bsky.social showing me bell curves of probability data he has actually plotted... they would never have been foolish enough to say a word about 2d10 v. 2d6.

You have brought this on yourselves.

Josh Fox 🔜 Ex Tenebris coming to Kickstarter @armadajosh.bsky.social · 1d

Good morning! I have had a couple of people tell me Ex Ten shouldn't use 2d10 because it breaks the PBTA probability curve. They could not be more wrong and I am going explain why, because it's the end of my campaign and I need something to keep me sane, ok?

Strap in.
