Scott Fitzgerald Gray @scottfgray.bsky.social · Feb 6
Twenty years ago today, February 6, 2004, I started work on my first freelance editing assignment for Wizards of the Coast — the 3.5e sourcebook “Complete Arcane.”

What a long, fantastic trip it’s been.

1/
A cover collage of most (but not all) of the 150-odd Wizards of the Coast books, magazines, and special projects that Scott’s worked on, from “Complete Arcane” in 2004, through the 2014 “Player’s Handbook,” “Dungeon Master’s Guide,” and “Monster Manual,” to the recent “Peril in Pinebrook” adventure for young first-time players.

I get chateau fatigue pretty fast because I’m honestly not that into fancy houses where some really rich douche used to live. So I was pleasantly wowed by Chaumont-sur-Loire, which we went to largely for the gardens, only to find that the gardens have invaded the chateau interior to awesome effect.
The chapel of chateau Chaumont-sur-Loire. Five sets of arched stained-glass windows stand around the room, but the room has been filled with a huge “dried-flower” arrangement featuring blossoms, branches, and vines that fill the space.

“Camelot*.”

“Camelot!”

“Camelot!!”

“It’s only a model…”

*Actually le Mont-Saint-Michel.
In the background, a majestic fortress rises high upon a small mountain. In the foreground, tourists wander along a walkway flanked by low-tide mud flats.

I know the legendary rudeness of the French is one part reality and nine parts urban legend, but holy shit is the woman running the patisserie we just walked into — then immediately walked out of when she rolled her eyes at our mere presence — doing her part to hold down that 10 percent.

I have taken my very first bite of a traditional French madeleine, and my mind has been suddenly filled with all the lost childhood memories of Marcel Proust! This is amazing!

Okay, so I’m at this cathedral, and I’m a virulent antismoker, so no problems there. And sure, I get that I shouldn’t take ice cream into this masterpiece of Norman romanesque and gothic architecture. But when the Catholic church tells me I have to leave my wolf outside, this will not stand!
A sign with three images set in red circles with lines through them, indicating: This is forbidden. One circle shows a cigarette. One circle shows an ice cream cone. One circle shows the silhouette of a wolf. Not a generic-looking dog, but a wolf.

Nothing like a walk in Bayeux War Cemetery at sunset to make you really, really want to punch a fucking nazi.
Long rows of white marble tombstones extend off into the distance, with a line of trees against a sunset sky beyond.

Et bonjour!
A street in Bayeux, Normandy, France. A hedge overhangs a streetside wall to the left. A line of parked cars stands to the right beside low apartments plastered in beige. A cathedral looms in the near distance.

Contrast with the feeling of discovering you have the thing at home two minutes after returning from the store having bought another of the thing, which is entirely my jam.

It's October 1st. I'm asking for support to pay bills and continue to make fun things full-time. I make comics, maps, and art for TTRPGs. If enough folks toss just $2-3 a month at my page, I can pay the bills and focus on creating. Signal boosts appreciated! #ttrpg

Listen. I have a masters degree in computer science. which means I have a masters degree in not doing more work than I have to. Don't use ChatGPT. That's *more* work than you have to.

FRPG Player Tip: If you find yourself feeling meh about new options for your character as the campaign goes on, talk to the GM about customizing those options to be a better fit. Tweaking a subclass, trait, or feat to match your character’s story is one of the easiest bits of homebrew.

Scott Gray @scottfgray.bsky.social and I walk through how to make an RPG book! We use examples from Scott's career working on amazing books such as Draw Steel, Daggerheart, Forge of Foes, CORE20, D&D, and much more!

#ttrpg #DnD
The covers for Draw Steel, Acquisitions Incorporated, Forge of Foes, Daggerhearts, Shadowdark, 13th Age, and two Ghostfire Gaming adventures are all visible, with the title of the video superimposed.

For a person who really wants to be king (much more so in the book than the films), Aragorn spends an awful lot of time talking about how much his leadership skills really suck.

Gollum is what you get when your character maxes out their stealth, tracking, endurance, and wilderness-survival mods at the expense of any and all social skills.

Boromir doing all this staring at Frodo and muttering and biting his nails makes it seem like he’s a bit on edge. I’m sure he’ll pull himself together before too long.
