We don't have any immediate plans for a more kid-focused expansion. It is something we've considered and may circle back to in the future, but not something that we're actively working on right now.

Now that knowledge may prove vital as a new warlord arrives on the scene.

How is the new warlord connected to the original battle? How do bards reach the keep, and what rite of passage do they go through when they get there?

The Briar of Spears appeared in an instant.

One minute, there was a battlefield. The next, both armies were dangling in the air, their spears and limbs tangled in the vines.

No one knows how or why it happened, except perhaps the few bards skilled enough to reach the central keep.

2. Take notes for later. Notes help you pick up where you left off no matter how much time passes between sessions.

3. Start with a prompt. A 5-minute warmup lets you write with momentum every time you sit down at your desk.

How do you stop vacation procrastination?

Spring break is almost here, so here are 3 tips that will help you make the most of your writing time while youโ€™re away!

1. Don't overthink it. It's a lot easier to beat writer's block when you free yourself from the pressure of needing to be perfect.

The dead probably have some great name suggestions.

Ironically, we didn't realize it was daylights savings when we scheduled this one.

We may have been implicating ourselves with this one, too.

Need help getting the lay of the land?

Try mapping it with dice!

Over on Instagram, ttcreature_writes rolled some dice, used them to shape the terrain, then filled in the details with Deck of Worlds!

Give it a try if you want a unique approach to worldbuilding!

Salvation is all about messaging. You can't save anyone if they don't know what you have to offer.

But what if the messiah's chosen partner is still trying to sell something of their own?
