Highfolk is the newest region opening up for play as part of the Legends of Greyhawk Organized Play! It all starts with the Weekend in Highfolk online event in November.

I wrote the second adventure of this launch trilogy.

I'm pretty sure it's only one.

As I reflect on GameholeCon, I can't help but think that I've written my final #dnd Adventurers League adventure, and ran my last AL game.

Few things have brought me more creative joy than seeing my adventure run for tables of excited players, and then chatting with DMs about it.

I'll miss it. 😔

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 2d

Always great to see you!

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 2d

A murder of playtests.

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 2d

Home after an awesome GameholeCon and 14 hours of travel. Already miss friends and conversations.

The urge i have this morning is to send about a dozen messages to people saying "sorry we couldn't hang out more!"

My loot is contributor copies and some older items friends helped me get!

This is amazing and the book is gorgeous.

I'm working on several #ttrpg writing projects - one of which is really important and intense - so this has been the last month

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 9d

The last ALCS game i went to was in '92 against Oakland. Let's do this Blue Jays!

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 10d

If it helps, i'm down to make very specific plans to not meet up and not talk. :)

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 11d

Hey #dnd / #ttrpg folks: do you enjoy having a "shit-disturber" character in the party?

I don't mean like, a barbarian that opens door with their head, I mean like... Mayor NPC says: "our children have been kidnapped, please save our town!" and this player says: "I try to rob the mayor."

This seems fine.

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 12d

Terrifying.

Andrew B. @swordcompass.bsky.social · 13d

Me too, it was a great time!

I got to play an early part of this at Breakout in Toronto earlier this year and it was really cool. Convinced me to play a short Wildsea campaign after. It's a very cool world!

Check it out!
