I've started the week by polishing the “Making Voyages” section for Brethren of the Coast core rulebook!
One of my favourite parts of the design is creating different voyage types, Survival, Lead Hunts, Social Intrigue, and Sandbox routes, each with their own structure.

I'm really proud of my pirate RPG, Brethren of the Coast, and the quickstart is only the start! The 2d20 system was perfect for it and I've had so much fun adapting it to the Pirate world.

As a big fan of Christmas, one of my many rituals I've started over the years is to watch an episode of the ever great Tabletop everyday. Thanks @wilwheaton.net and @felicia.day, every day on the run up to Christmas. Great games, great guests and a great time!

For this year's Xmas giveaway game, I'm revisiting my 2017 Xmas game, Pneumatic Santa, about a steampunk Santa setting up a pneumatic gift delivery system. Found some nice Library of Congress photos to tinker with, and mocked up a little cover tonight.
