Hey all!
So Death Knight is totally winning the next poll. It's at 43% with no hint of stopping. So I've already picked out a lovely map above (which conveniently connects to the beholder-themed map that'll come out a week before it). But this mofo has 56 locations!
So you kn...

Quick update on BroadSword:
Hey all!
Beholders (or something close to that) are the big winners for Week #6. Cockatrices earned over 20% so they'll move on. The rest are dropped.

Hey all!
Hope you're having an awesome Hump Day so far!
Just a quick announcement. Dark Carnival is officially added to the calendar for releases in June 2021. I've been working through most of the content (while taking breaks on the Kickstarter stuff, of course...
2021-05-26 22:07:52 +0000 UTC View PostHey all,
As it looks like Dark Carnival will win the next poll (by like... a lot), I'm trying to think of the best way to do it. Because Ravenloft is not covered by the SRD, the guide which I must follow in order to create Fifth Edition content "legally", I'd have to make a...
2021-05-25 02:49:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey all!
As I'm working on beholders (it's at 39% as of this writing, so it'll likely win), I thought I might toss in a bonus lair since that'll get me pretty far ahead—I'm already a month out.
Inspired by the new Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, I thought I might create a...

Hey all!
It looks like a pretty sure bet that "beholder" will win the next Monster Lairs poll. Thus, I've already started working on it so I can free up my week for Hot8/Pexia writing.
I've got another Tim map (actually a series of five that I want to use, but I'm just using the first...

If you've never done this before, here are the rules:
Hey all!
I went ahead and ended the last poll a little prematurely so I can get to work on it this weekend and focus most of my time on Hand of the Eight (1/5 done with the revisions) and Pexia's (about 1/3 done on that). That means that aboleths are the big winner from the...

Hey all!
This weekend, I want to hit $100,000 on the Kickstarter by 10:00 am CST on Monday. We're just $12,000'ish away, which means we're only about 142 backers from hitting that goal. Considering we get 40-50 per day, I think that's pretty.
So here's the pitch:
