I am Itchfunding my Cairn module in order to pay for editing and get physical copies! I have worked on this game for two years and I would appreciate everyone giving it a look, sharing it around, or even contributing to the fund!
Let's get this game done!

In 2025 I will begin publishing Cairn supplements for third parties, under the moniker Cairn Press.
If you're a writer and want help with editing, layout, or printing I should be able to hook you up with the right people.
My goal is to make more Cairn content and get people paid for their work.

I am running a session for players who are new to #OSR games, and TTRPGs in general. I recorded a brief primer - and figured it might be useful to others, as well!

First dungeon for Goblin Adventure! Is up on itch now. I’ve drawn up and keyed the dungeon I ran for my daughter the other night. Go into a cave full of environmental obstacles and spiders to retrieve a crystal for your coming-of-age ceremony!

What is Downrooted about?
It is ostensibly about exploring a dark magical forest. Players will push their luck and go deeper to find greater rewards, and greater dangers. By using a simple depthcrawl system, each excursion is unique. Will you reach the heart of the forest? How deep will you go?

I'm happy to report that @drivethrurpg.com have added Cairn as a filter (under Old School Revival). Thanks much for that! If you've made something for Cairn, be sure to update the tag there under "Edit Title Listing."
Thanks again everyone.

I've read a small amount of this depthcrawl and it's really, really good. Jason is writing something that's interesting, unusual, and smart. If you're a Cairn or other OSR player, I encourage you to check out the Itchfunding campaign - it's great now, and it's only going to get better.

The widespread use of LLMs has made me seriously reconsider the merit of having AI as a playable background in my game. Even though conceptually AI in sci-fi and LLMs are utterly distinct, the propaganda of LLMs as genuine AI has poisoned the well for me.
