I've done a few interviews about Designers & Dragons Origins over the last few days, and some folks have asked about the origins of Origins.

There's a long-ish story about the DnDClassics site and the return of D&D PDFs to the world.

The product histories emerged organically from that.

In The Bonsai Diary, you grow a tree and tell its story over the course of decades and then centuries. The Kickstarter for this journaling game exceeded my hopes, and the first print sold out on @ipr.bsky.social last month. Luckily, it's back in stock in time for our upcoming event:

Duginthroat Divided launched on KS.

It is one of those rare instances of a work I am proud of.

I was able to push some angles in ways that got my brain firing up right.

I was able to witness something come to form that made me appreciate a modality I otherwise often ignore.

I endorse the work.
