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.

Old-School Essentials Month is a cross collab that's happening in May 2026. It's all about demons, devils, and hells, and we're working on a hexcrawl module called No Devil's Land!

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 was on Between Two Cairns with @bradkerr.net and @yochaigal.bsky.social to talk about the Ennies, design, ducks, and—most of all—Warped Beyond Recognition, one of my favorite Mothership modules!

It's a long one (a re-occuring theme of mine). Hope you like it!

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.
