I try not to think about my backlog of book projects. But Patreon support helps tho! This is why folks have gotten a short story a month from me for 10 years. That work would otherwise have been financially unfeasible and only exists because of that direct support www.patreon.com/kameronhurley

25 Community Copies now up on Fallen! That's 80 pages of stuff, some maps, sheets, tokens!
Sorry I can't make the game forever free. I rely on pdf sales of my stuff to help pay for things.
But we've put out 230 (now 255) free copies of the pdfs over time.

My friends! The Apocalypse World 3rd Ed kickstarter ends on Friday night. We launched with a Q&A on Reddit and I think we'd like to wrap up with a Q&A here.

Ask me anything! Ask @megueyb.bsky.social anything too!

If you've somehow missed @setpeicegames.bsky.social replies to my mini "barf forth apocalyptica" threads over the past several days, you're only getting part of the picture. I've missed a few, so I'm thinking of playing catch-up. Anyone want to give me a one-word prompt to spin off of?

Back at it with @prismaticwasteland.com's look at the implied setting of D&D through the lens of language. What does the existence of 'Common' actually imply?

The Languages of D&D Imply a Specific Setting — Prismatic Wasteland
If you start from the premise that languages in D&D make sense you can extrapolate a bit about its implied setting.

Commissions are still open!
Still looking for some nerdy Holiday gifts?
How about some character portrait or other commission that helps an artist to pay his rent!
It’s been a rough few months and I’m open for any kind of work!
All themes, all projects, be it commercial or private

Are you done?A: I'd like to edit the Bonds and Omens to give them a touch of Forgotten Realms flavor and I might just grab Waterdeep: Dragon Heist and write up how I'd do this with Cairn's prep techniques and faction system. If I do so, I will edit the pdf above.

This review is right. Dragon Slayers is a lovely bit of design work.
This review of Dragon Slayers means so much to me. This is all exactly what I was hoping to hear when designing this game.

PS, itch please make reviews public, nobody but me will see this unless I screenshot it like this 😭

In my latest post I revisit the subject of witchcraft in Shropshire and discuss its historic and folkloric legacy. This is my most comprehensive study of the subject so far! I hope you enjoy!

This looks cool and you should back it.
Some might say the middle of the night on a Monday isn't the time to launch a new Kickstarter, but what can I say? I'm many things, but good at marketing is not one.

(Fortunately I have amazing art from @toadlett.bsky.social and @hodagrpg.bsky.social to help!)
