The Crawling Madness – Generic Creature for Any Setting
Work is extremely insane this time of year for me. From what I understand it wasn’t that bad before the internet but now with everyone ordering online working in a shipping service can be a bit crazy. Haven’t had much time of late for much, but I hope this one find everyone well … Crawling […]
Quic Note – Here P.I.G.gy, P.I.G.gy, P.I.G.gy
+Mark Van Vlack has a very interesting post over at his Dustpan Games blog today about game development and moving a game from a P.I.G (Possibly Interesting Game) to an I.G (Interesting Game). At the end of the piece he poses a question, one that I hope I can suitably answer. What about a game grabs […]

Quick Note – DM’s Craft started a monthly building competition.
I don’t know how many of you watch the DM’s Craft on youtube so let me give you all a quick run down. Basically a series of DIY videos for roleplaying set-pieces. Things like tiles, miniatures, props and so on. Honestly, I don’t have the time or the room to do some of the things […]
Quick Note – The Future of the Creature Guide
Looking at the WIP creature catalogue today I realized that without an introduction, table of contents, cover, pictures or any frills I have nearly 30 pages of creatures now for the Cartographers’ Guild’s Guide to the Creatures of Eira. Unfortunately, I in no shape, way or form can afford to get the art or for […]
