I had planned on a roll out of promotions for Vagabond on TikTok once the second print wave is here. As of today, I'm getting rid of my TikTok profile and pulling any future plans to promote there. Sorry to all the great creators who have it as your primary platform, but I just can't anymore.

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

Watching a bunch of senior-ass profiles harassing the 20-40 year old meteorologists last week because they predicted snow, to now harassing them because it hasn't snowed as much as predicted yet. Boomers, enjoy your retirements and get the fuck offline.

Guess the cat's out of the bag! I did the layout for Benjamin Huffman's 2024 conversion of the Pugilist Class, which is now coming to D&D Beyond next month! Felt seriously cool to contribute something to the class that got me into homebrewing in the first place!

Was trying to find something to pick my teeth with on my desk, and grabbed this innocuous piece of paper. Guess it was an old cologne sampler from Ulta, and now my whole mouth feels like gasoline.

I've heard Vagabond fans out and I guess it's time I actually take a stance. No, Multiclassing will not come to Vagabond in any official capacity. Class design structure does not support it in any way I would ever view as "balanced", and I'm not interested in continuing to try to make it work.

Can someone just tell Trump "Hey, we did that Greenland war thing last night when you were asleep last night. NATO actually beat us in like 3 hours, and we agreed to rejoin NATO as part of the peace talks." You know this would work.

Vagabond's first expansion now has:
6 Ancestries
9 Classes
6 Perks for playing Skeletons, Zombies, and Werewolves
24 Spells
20 Relic Powers
Mana Crystal system (Materia from FF7)
Star Signs (Birthsigns from Elder Scrolls)
Vancian Magic Conversion
I'm still hoping to keep it to a zine format.

I've heard that Daggerheart's Campaign Frames originated from another TTRPG, but I'm having trouble finding which one. Any leads?

The fact that this was even a "controversy" is seriously cringe of the TTRPG community. Ben voiced an opinion on the layout and length of writing of DCC stuff, and people wrote essay takedowns of Ben and tried to... REFUTE an OPINION. Terminally online behavior.

There was a really interesting post about False Hydras in TTRPGs the other day, and I'm glad to see some real experienced and well thought-out critiques of how some concepts just don't survive play at the table. There's so many monsters I'd love to see work, but totally lose their punch in RPGs.

Last year, I quit smoking with the help of Zyn pouches. However, I'm getting away from those after seeing a lot of my other health stuff line up with side effects people are reporting from long term Zyn usage. I'm so ready to have nicotine totally behind me.
