TODAY'S THE DAY! Making Enemies: Monster Design Inspiration for Tabletop Roleplaying Games, with cover illustration by @kroovv.bsky.social and interior illos by @jencmars.bsky.social, is now on shelves!

A hardbound copy of Making Enemies on a wooden dining table. On the cover, a huge, pearlescent arthropod bursts out of a subterranean crevice and drives one of its large barbed claws through a dwarf fighter's abdomen, while another dwarf cowers in fear. The book is surrounded by blue and red polyhedral dice.

If you're a D&D player living in the US, it looks like all Constitution saving throws are automatic fails. At least until 2028.

Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown!” 2nd panel: As Charlie Brown passes, he says “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir!” 3rd panel: “Good ol’ Charlie Brown…” 4th panel: Once Charlie is gone, “How I hate him!”

Last week was rather busy, the trees have it in for me, and I’ve been staying up too late which requires more coffee (there’s always a silver linking). Because of all this I missed a week of random thoughts, but I’m back and ready to do. These are some random #TTRPG thoughts.

So Much Chaos!
