I just released "Krampusnacht," a small OSE-style Christmas adventure rooted in winter folklore and dark fairy tales.

Less hack-and-slash, more judgment, bargaining, and consequences.

It’s live now on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/krampu...

I took a few minutes to add up the numbers on my work this year.

Layout and idea inspired by a similar post from TTRPGkids, with a few tweaks to suit my own style.

Early D&D combat wasn’t loose or arbitrary.
It was procedural.

It wasn't about realism or grind, but helping to manage risk, reduce uncertainty, & telegraph danger to players.

My latest video is about early D&D combat procedures, why they worked, & what we lost: www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7mF...

Days late, but we're still in the 12 Days of Christmas, so...

ONE of my favorites (it depends on my mood, what I'm eating, what ingredients I have) is something I made up called "The Little Tree" (after Charlie Brown):

* 2 oz Gin
* 0.5 oz Pine Syrup (see following tweet)
* 2 dashes Lemon Bitters
Retweet with your favorite holiday drink!

Saba invites you all to try a KK Slider this holiday season. It's simple and tasty and other things too!

Just combine 2 parts Bailey's and 1 part soda water. Garnish with a dash of nutmeg. Adjust ratios to taste, of course.

My new video reviews topics I covered in 2025! Patterns emerged that helped me realize why things like THAC0, saving throws, alignment, race-class limits, genre-blending, & class design worked the way they did & what that says about D&D's original design intent.

THAC0 is one of those D&D terms everyone thinks they understand.

Some remember it as logical. Others were told it was confusing or obsolete. Often, they’re remembering different versions entirely.

My new video is up!

I took a look at how early D&D tried to stat the gods and what that decision meant for the game, from pantheon choices to the Chaosium issues. There’s also plenty here you can adapt for your own table.

Teasing my next deep dive YT video: How D&D Tried to Stat the Gods

• Why these books were created
• How the pantheons were selected
• Controversies around statting gods & the Chaosium issues
• What ideas still matter for modern campaigns

If you like early D&D history, this will be a fun one.

Early D&D’s saving throws are some of the most misunderstood rules in the game.

But there was a rationale behind every category... even the weird ones!

My new video up now if you’re curious about the origins. 🎲
