In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press.
If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people.
My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.

Even though this is maybe my favorite Prince song, I kind of forgot about it for a while. I think emotionally, I had to hide it away like a nuclear weapon. It's totally crazy. Every time I hear it I'm like "can he say that? Is it okay that I'm listening to this??" youtu.be/6gVIHsgiKb0?...

@bradkerr.net and I have made another small adventure together! This time it's a nasty crawl through a swamp.
It's called SWAMP WORLD and will be available in January (or right now, if you're a member of my patreon.com/skullfungus).
Anyway, thanks Brad for being a cool guy who's fun to work with!

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

My D&D adventures are available in print, they come in a set of three. These adventures are all one-shots that you can run on their own, or slot into an existing campaign.
They're really easy to run, rules-light, pretty weird and usually at least a bit silly.
