I did not know that! I hope they're having a great time with it! The Martial Maneuvers the Blade Breaker uses were largely due to @jamesjhaeck.bsky.social's ingenuity and passion!

My little D&D class has had many iterations since, many pairs of hands help forge it into something amazing, many play tests and player feedback, and more than a little blood, sweat, and tears! (mostly from monsters)

And today, you can play it too!

5 years ago I first wrote the words ‘Monster Hunter’ into a doc that was going to be my 5e setting guide…

… today that class has made it onto D&D Beyond!

A photo of a laptop screen, a word document open with the heading “Monster Hunter Class” written at the top of the page.

I feel the exact same way about the Spiritseer. 😆I got as far as the pricing page before good sense rescued me, but I'm still thinking about it...

As Ghostfire gets ready to launch our next Aetherial Expanse Kickstarter, @thebenbyrne.bsky.social made a great video providing an overview of the Aetherial Expanse's naval rules should you wish to incorporate them into your adventures on the high seas.

Honestly? Plan is to ignore most of it. 😅

More seriously, we tend not to report on pure product releases or announcements. That's unless it feels more broadly industry relevant, or a host/guest has an explicit interest in the release.

Great game, played it on the weekend as well! 😄 It’s out Twilight Imperium lite, when we don’t have a whole day.

Little time off project because my Grim Hollow campaign might need a fzeg, soon… 👀 🐺

My creative mind can be like bleeding a stone, until the hyper focus kicks in at 7:30 and then suddenly it’s past midnight. 😑

Many thanks to the crew at @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social for showing me the dark world of Etharis.

Yeah, quite possibly. This was a little spur of the moment, so that might depend on when we get a color proof of the Campaign Guide.
