83% towards the base goal and still climbing. Thanks to everyone who backed us so far, help us reach our basegoal so we can start unlocking the stretch goals. The first one is a real banger, a d100 treasure table and RENDERER OF REALMS by @brianyaksha.bsky.social

Anyone living around Bloomington, IL have any suggestions for a hike/etc. if I get some downtime? How about any secret cool places to eat (dinner)?

Duck & Crow Press @duckandcrow.bsky.social · 13h

We have arrived in Bloomington, IL for Flatcon. Set up part of the booth, then ate the blandest meal I've had in years, and am taking break in the hotel before heading back in. Looks like this is going to be a good show!

A new Pynchon! A Tim Curry memoir! A 600-page doorstopper from a reclusive writer (not named Thomas Pynchon)! The fall is stacked with big book releases. Here's what we're particularly excited for. n.pr/4nf3nl6

Dragons are not natural creatures. When slain, they do not simply die and turn to dust. Some become conduits to the divine or infernal, some refuse death and haunt themselves, and other rot eternally, poisoning the world.

@danielharila.bsky.social crushed it with this illustration. UE030: Plundering the Athenaeum of Ilth (+2 supplements) is heading to the printer later today to get the proofs. I'll be posting more about the adventure and the amazing art (from dan and @oldschooljelly.bsky.social) more soon!

Daniel Harila @danielharila.bsky.social · 22d

The third Undying Expanse module by @duckandcrow.bsky.social offers lovecraftian kittens, a properly swamped dungeon and HAUNTED WATERLOGGED DRAGON GUTS.

I think this is one of my favorite pieces from 2025.

Inked traditionally by yours truly.

As often occurs, was looking at @evlynmoreau.bsky.social's patreon art for one thing and was inspired to grab a different piece for an entirely different thing.

Swordmother, inspire us to protect our communities.

Art: Evlyn Moreau's Swordmother in an Eastern European looking dress with a close fitting hood, birds and flower details and padding, holding a scabbarded sword.

When my parents got divorced, I got the pulp softcover collection. That "I am a Barbarian" cover had a significant impact on my young brain ...

Several folks suggested that I need a break. They are right. Today I'm not writing, actively working with artists, stressing about convention dates and money, or bla bla bla. I'm gonna have a chill day of playing FF1, tidying my office, and making a barber appointment to get a glow up. #selfcare
