A professor was lecturing to his English class: “In English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.”
A voice from the back of the room piped up, “Yeah, right.”

There are 261 working days in 2025. If you write just 1 page a day, that’s just 250-300 wds a day, you can write 2 1/2 scripts or one novel by New Years Eve.
If you write just 2 pages a working day (600wds/day) you can write 5 scripts, 2 novels or one 150,000 word magnum opus.
Just. Keep. Writing.

How do you decide which books to get in physical and which in digital?
Personally, I struggle with shelf space, but I still want so many books...

So, here are a couple pages. The fighting style of the Emperor's assassins, because, in the immortal words of Jack Black, I LOVE KUNG FU. And the Dead Lakes which are delightfully weird.

Somewhat more detailed view of #TheCompendium.
Artistically, it's very pleasing (these here are the inhabitants of the Grey Fortress).
The text is for the most part, but some pages that would've been hard to read were replaced with printed text.
Dozens of pages of useful random tables.

So about the Compendium and how it is different from Cube World modules, besides being a big book and not a PDF.
The Inquisitors' Road is one of my fave CW adventures. It's pretty much all text (the way I like it).
In the Compendium, however, the NPCs for this adventure are presented like this.

Realistically, I can only run a single "normal" prepped campaign.
However, the urge to try a no prep campaign, possibly open table, has been gnawing at me.
I have Xyntillan, StoneHell, The Mythic North and Wolves upon the Coast.
Is any of these possible as a no prep? other better suggestions?

Mausritter is a wonderful contradiction.
I feel like it's an unappreciated gem, but I get why. There's an internal clash between the whimsical pitch/ art and the gritty play/ mechanics.
The character sheet objects don't travel or keep well between sessions.
Still highly recommend it.

There’s no such thing as “too many books”—only not enough shelves, not enough time, and not enough space for the dream library with a sliding ladder. But let’s be honest… we’ll keep buying books anyway.

Free League has some good games and high production value but IO they're in great need of an editor and layout people. Organization is lacking and it makes me like the books themselves less, which pisses me off because I really dig the Forbidden Lands vibe and aesthetics

This dungeon is conceptually what I want my players to engage with. Not yet, the'd die instantly, but building slowly towards it.
On the other side is a minimalist take like Stonehell/ Barrowmaze. They're not ready for them either.
