I'm looking for adventure recommendations for Fear of a Black Dragon! If there's an adventure module or scenario you'd like to see us discuss, please let me know in the replies (a link is also helpful)! You can certainly recommend something you yourself have written or published!

Please repost!
I have commissioned three playbooks for The Lands Remaining…

Someone described the scenarios in my games as "deconstructed modules," and that's pretty damn accurate.

I'm writing the Void Mystery for the Brindlewood Bay game I've been running for @pemetawe.bsky.social

What a campaign! 6 mysteries, Sixteen Void Clues, five amazing Mavens, one dead crow, and MANY smiling dogs ominously eating raw meat

ZAGREUS RISES

I'm so excited to see how this wraps up

Had fun over the weekend at #ConZeroFall2025 online especially running my Briar Rose incursion designed for Trophy Dark!

Will you brave the briar-choked castle and its dangers? Or will you fall to the curse and join the rest forever trapped on its grounds?

The proto texts for Jason’s attempt at making a Dark Souls game. You can say you were there when.

I went from just brainstorming ideas for this game to having finished the design, written 21,000 words of the text, recorded three episodes of a new podcast, and launched a writing contest... all in three months.
Carved from Brindlewood Fantasy Adventure Game: Thoughts...

I made a joke on here a few weeks ago about a Carved from Brindlewood fantasy adventure game. It was good for a laugh at the time, but I've been having genuine, earnest thoughts about it ever since. (1/X)

All the AI YouTube videos trying to convince us it’s ok to walk up to leopards and bears and shit and just pet them because they’re really just big, friendly floofs is evidence AI wants to kill us.

I know this is about video games, but I get comments like this all the time *and I always ignore them.* God forbid someone has to look something up at the table! We’re all two feet away from instant knowledge about anything.

Except for Williamsburg Warrior. iykyk
there is almost no feedback I will reflexively ignore as a game developer but “you shouldn’t name something X because people don’t know that word” is one of them. oh no! You might learn a new word! God forbid you take away a piece of knowledge from a game that’s not a brand of gun or some shit lol

Jason has been talking about this RPG on and off for the last little while, but the opening for this podcast really highlights the epic Dark Souls nonsense he’s channeling.
Finally, if you just want to know more about what The Lands Remaining is in an easy-to-consume audio format, @thebadspot.bsky.social and I have a preview of our new podcast up on the free Gauntlet Patreon feed. Come hear what all the fuss is about!

Just got back from PAXU and feeling energized, inspired, and ready to create something? I have some opportunities that might interest you! I'm hitting the ground running on a new project, The Lands Remaining, and there are ways to get involved. Details in the thread!

Thank God Cordova's giving us a few weeks on the due date for the pitches/writing contest - the body is willing, but the mind is going to be so much chewed up bubblegum for a day or so until I get some real sleep.

I can’t tell you how excited I am for a Wuthering Heights movie by Emerald Fennell. That’s a movie made in a lab to specifically appeal to me.

Whenever The Lands Remaining comes out, I hope someone writes a piece about Noxilliax called “The 0 HP Dragon.”

I was looking at a Sora 2 feed out of morbid curiosity, and all I could think was how it seemed like a mass psychotic episode.
