Otherworldly critters

Time for some Friday fun! Beyond the Woods has five different origins inspired by Irish folklore: Daoine (DEE-nuh), Aos Sí (ay-os shee or eys shee), Baloran (bal-OR-in), Púca (POO-ka), and Changelings. Which one are you picking?

I'm GMing the 5e quickstart adventure next Friday, can't wait! Prepping it has allowed me to spend more time on the books, which are stunning and full of great ideas. I love the death/dying mechanics in particular.

Our Irish inspired tabletop RPG, Beyond the Woods, is live on Kickstarter! Get it for #dnd5e or for Legend in the Mist!

A large TTRPG publisher I worked for previously specifically left freelancers and contractors last to pay because "what are they going to do?'

So yeah, that's the attitude

Just a reminder, Beyond the Woods is currently up on Kickstarter. I am proud to count myself as a member of the writing team on this beautifully realised TTRPG that is based on Irish Mythology. Some fantastic stretch goals we would love to hit on this one.

Hey thanks Johnny, appreciate it!

Tabletop industry veteran Ryan Dancey loses Alderac COO job after saying AI can generate game ideas as good as some of his company’s designs "The idea that [AI] could not be used to generate ideas on the level as those embodied by those three games is already demonstrably false (in my opinion)."

Crossposted from our friends at @boardgamewire.bsky.social: Ryan Dancey's comments about AI's potential in board games cost him his job and fits into a longer history of the former Alderac COO shooting from the proverbial hip.

Sleeping Gods has been sitting unplayed on my shelf since the Kickstarter fulfilled 🙈 I really need to get it to the table

Yeah but what was the PSA grading on the Mars bars?

I got a super secret sneak peak at the full book and it is great. Dripping with theme and with easy to understand and clever rules. Definitely give this one a look

Gar is an incredibly talented and imaginative writer with a wry wit and great sense of humour. Both his books and his adventure writing are top tier, so this is gonna be a blast.

Welp, this is an instabuy

The cover of the dungeon book, showing an old-school cutaway diagram of a dungeon, complete with a dragon.

Lo, 'tis THE DUNGEON BOOK cover!

The Jungle Book meets Dungeons and Dragons with a dash of Pan's Labyrinth in this gleefully fun standalone fantasy narrated by a sentient skull, in which a small girl is thrown to a dungeon full of monsters, who decide to raise her rather than eat her.

Thanks Fischer, that means a lot!

I've gotten the chance to work with Emmet a bit on the Cosmere RPG and he is a creative, sharp RPG designer. I recommend checking out his new campaign that brings his thoughtful and beautiful Irish-inspired setting and hexcrawl exploration gameplay to Legends in the Mist.

Thank you so much!

Ah thank you Lydia! ❤️
