I am so stoked when people get the stuff I write to the table. @smitsch.bsky.social posted the first pic to DCC Rocks! after running Altar of Embers and the 2nd snip is one of the comments in the thread. This brings me such joy, you have no idea.

Next week I'm going to be at Momocon in Atlanta. I'm going to be on a few RPG panels, booth as Breaker Press, and run games at night. I've built a lot of connections in the midwest. Now its time to branch into other territories and make some new ones!

Some shots of @julianmfbernick.bsky.social and I running games at Dave Con 2025. I can't speak for Julian, but I had a fantastic time and I'm already looking forward to Dave Con 2026!

If you've backed any of my crowdfunding, you should have figured out that I love stickers. Today I received 2 brand new designs and reprinted 2 others. Its a silly thing, but I'm always stoked when they arrive!

It took several days, on and off, but this 4"x6" dungeon doodle turned out pretty rad. At some point, after Gary Con, it will turn into a simple bandit lair to complement Brigands on the North Road. You can get the rough overview and voice your support for which bandits on my Patreon.

I try to give everything to give folks an exciting game. Tonight, during a dramatic moment my gesticulations were so wild and forceful I tried to accidentally cut my hand off with my name badge. 😅

I've been slinging Goodman Games product at Polar Vortex in Lisle, IL all weekend. Third party DCC author, Andy Edmonds is running a bunch of sessions. Freelance artist, Joe Abboreno, is selling art. And I'm gearing up to run Cleft in the Mangled Hills in an hour.

Midwinter Gaming Convention began today. I didn't get to game. I had to set up the Goodman Booth. But I got to see Andy Edmonds and Andy Patch running DCC for a bunch of happy gamers. I'm looking forward to crossing paths with more folks and maybe bringing some new converts to the fold!

And I have a pile of 1/4 sheet envelopes for my regular players to keep their characters in. Most of them made from grocery bags. Make it to 3-4 sessions and you earn your folder. 😅

Picked up proofs of The Goat class guides and spotted errors in the equipment chart, on the inside cover. I just fixed them and re-uploaded the PDFs to DTRPG and Itch. I'll send new files to the printer shortly.

An exciting thing arrived today. Dee Dee thinks its for him, but its not. The Peculiar NPCs decks have arrived! I've been using iterations of this deck at conventions for the last year. I love being able to share strong visual with my players. 54 portraits by @gasparisme.bsky.social & Jamie Jordan.

@gasparisme.bsky.social just sent me this brutal, retch raven attack scene for Lurking Horrors, on of the zines in my upcoming box set, Horrors of the Whispering Wood. I was so excited I mocked it up right away. You can hit Notify Me on Launch here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/bre...

I just wanted to thank the influx of followers on this platform. I'm a ridiculous human-being that loves being out there, spreading the joy I get from TTRPGs and dogs. Occasionally, I sneak in my love of vegan food and cherishing animals. Thanks for being curious about what I have to share.

I don't know why, but I really enjoy taking product photos with my silly collection of bits and bobs from craft stores, Halloween stores, and (occasionally) thrift or antique stores. These will all get cropped for Kickstarter and Storenvy.

In 2-hours, my teamster, Riles O'Malley, will face some form of unspeakable horror. Can I muster a Boston-style accent? Only time will tell.
