I've had a big influx of followers lately too, so hi! I'm a TTRPG creator, putting out d&d content regularly and currently elbow-deep on my first book, Songs of the Spellbound Sea. To date, I've only posted new content promos, but I think I'll probably start being more of a real human going forward.

My patrons just had me write a radiation subclass - very fun flavoring that in a way that fits a sword and sorcery understanding of the world 😁

I like to annoy people by saying things happen "once per biweek"

This is cover art done for the upcoming Necromancer subclass by @somanyrobots.com. The free pdf is currently available for playtesting so check it out!
I loved working on this cover so much. It's been hard to sit on it for so long before the project was ready to be shared.

Check out the necromancer class! A full 5E class, able to summon minions and perform necromantic rites. Built on a novel 3/4-caster chassis and with its own dedicated necromancy tools.

A pale woman with flowing white hair stands ecstatically in front of an eclipsing moon. As she descends a darkened staircase, numerous skeleton minions struggle to life around her. The whole scene is surrounded by flowing tendrils of green magic.

I don't think the intent is to moderate - it's to chill speech by saying "if you're mean to us on social media, you're going on the List."

I legitimately never knew Lyle Lyle crocodile was a sequel. It was my favorite book as a child, my daughter loves it now, and I had no idea it was a sequel.

(I cannot tell my daughter, I do not like reading it as a parent)

One question Anna bower started to address a couple months back and never finished: *how* does the admin keep drawing arch-conservative panels on the D.C. circuit? It feels like katsas is on every decision and rao is on most. Do you (or another law reporter) know?

An elven sorceress stands in a gnarled wood, flowers blooming around her. She wears clothing festooned with roots and vines and conjures a small plant from her hands.

Yeah, ideally you'd write a full adventure that's easy to use. In practice, though, so many prewrites are so hard to include in a campaign that they're not much more than seeds anyway

somanyrobots @somanyrobots.com · Aug 24

This is the reason I put mini-settings into my book, rather than writing a full setting document (and part of the reason it has adventure seeds instead of full adventures). Maximum usability rather than maximum content.

Working with zana is an absolute privilege and I cannot say enough nice things about her. Stellar piece as always!

I was halfway through a 500-page manuscript when Google swapped its old grammar checker for an AI-driven one. 50% of its suggestions became total nonsense.
