Can confirm that this book is excellent. Got an early copy to work with and it is something I'll be using in my work going forward.

Work yourself or with others to build pretty much whatever you want! Go over and support @runicpressgames.com and get a copy!

Had a terrible experience with a recommended KS marketing team this past week. Now in desperate need of promotions. Upped the goal for marketing, now unlikely to reach said goal.

Willing to pay good people with a good following, but we have a fast turnaround, with a campaign already active.

We appreciate everyone's support and encouragement!

To celebrate this one-of-a-kind worldbuilding guide, we've been partaking in a community creative exercise called the #WeekOfWorldbuilding. Check out the hashtag to see how our setting has come together so far! You still have time to join in for Communications with @creativemagpie.bsky.social

#WeekOfWorldbuilding

Did we save the best for last? Maybe, but it's Kickstarter launch day, and it's worth talking on the subject of Communication! Now within a world, we often can think that information is just shared, but history and knowledge can easily be twisted or lost, no?

Hi, Cas here! I know I don't post from the team account often (heh...my bad 😅), but I feel like I probably should to let y'all know about a couple cool things.

"What's My Foundation?"'s Kickstarter launched today, and we'd really appreciate the support bringing this to your tables!

Good morning TTRPG community! Back to basics with this one.

2 Cents: Water...is heavy. Waterskins only carry so much. If you're a GM tracking carry weight and survival materials in your game (and you should), remember that a day's worth of water for an adult human weighs 2-4 pounds!

✨TTRPG / D&D Question of the Day✨

What are the different ways in which your TTRPG characters handle problems? If you had to give your character's methods of handling issues a label ("The Subtle Approach"; "Tough Love"; etc.) -- what label would you give it?

#TTRPG #DnD #TTRPGThoughts #TTRPGQoTD

The words "Question of the Day" are emblazoned in white serif font against a black background, that is decorated with stylized white stars and butterflies.

Earlier this year, I published 99 Heroic Fantasy Adventure Hooks, a system-agnostic collection of prompts to spark your next adventure in #DnD, #Pathfinder, or your favorite fantasy #TTRPG.

This 10-page PDF is only $2.99. Grab your copy today.

Cover art for 99 Heroic Fantasy Adventure Hooks by Wobblerocket. It shows a mountainscape in yellow tones, with a dragon flying overhead. This 10-page PDF provides 99 unique adventure hooks for heroic fantasy TTRPG settings. Completely system-agnostic, these hooks are full of strange magic, otherworldly creatures, fickle deities, hidden lands to explore, and much more.

These hooks are just launchpads -- they're yours to run with and develop however you choose.
