Designers & Dragons: Origins From the birth of roleplaying to the discovery of the Forgotten Realms, from the rise of Basic D&D to the fall of Mystara, historian Shannon Appelcline brings you the story of OD&D, Basic D&D, and AD&...

Thrilled to see that Designers & Dragons: Origins hit its third stretch goal while I slept, for $100,000.

(That means more content for the backer-only preview, The Adventurer's Hoard.)

Thanks for the interest & support. I do my RPG history work because people tell me they like it!

Of course, the books have also been carefully edited and beautifully laid out by @evilhat.bsky.social. @ktwelves.bsky.social helped me with consistency (and everything making sense). @crislv.bsky.social offered gorgeous graphic design. @lulavampiro.bsky.social helped with tricky issues. ETC!

Thanks! I have a second set of encounters in the works, but not sure when I'll wrap that up.

I do tend to hoard documents. You should see my collection of toy industry sales catalogs.

SCUM: An Eclipse Phase Board Game Sci-fi board game where players defend their habitat from a mysterious threat bent on its destruction, based on the Eclipse Phase RPG.

Folks — the KS for SCUM, the Eclipse Phase board game from Moose With Cup Creative ends today.

I am biased, but not bullshitting: it's a very good game and I think you'll enjoy having it on your shelf and table. Excited to take it over the finish line in 2026.

Pendragon: Classic Edition Bringing the iconic Pendragon 1st Edition collection back to life!

I see the @chaosium.bsky.social classic Pendragon box set is live & going gangbusters

I have exactly one (1) issue with these facsimile sets Chaosium are doing (well apart from them not sending us them) & that’s I think they should all come with 1 character sheet covered in scribbles, doodles…

I love tables so much I pack tables inside of tables!

I do not own the copyright to the document. I was sent the physical pages in 1994 and I scanned it for my use. Even the video I'm not 100% comfortable with, but I believe my use in that instance is transformative, which eases my concerns.

If you check the video, you'll see that I scanned the document and share it in such a way you can pause and read.

Same! I love finding old memos, internal documents, and obscure zines. Always a blast and I often learn something.

A Look at the 1994 West End Games Star Wars RPG Style Guide YouTube video by Philip Reed

I've been sitting on the West End Games Star Wars RPG Style Guide for over thirty years. I've now scanned the document and created a video showing all 59 pages. I hope this helps more fans of the game get a look at some behind-the-scenes documentation. youtu.be/GsW1MGpXu4M?...

Thank you❤️

(Just wanted to say thanks 💚)

Congrats! That's awesome!

A screenshot of a Facebook text post from OP which reads: On this day 11 years ago 30 Jul 2014 .. . I know I'm a little bit biased, but I think my 7 year old just verbally designed a really good little card game. It's for a licensed property, but I think it's potentially a good enough game that it'd stand a reskin. l've ordered some blank cards and we'll prototype and play it. Who knows, might put it up on drivethrucards eventually if it works as well as I think it might. I'm slightly boggled that he just trotted it out as something he'd "been thinking about". We do talk about making games quite a lot. But yeah. Wow.

A photo of the completed game: The Forest Dragon by Rory Age 9. The cover is a child’s drawing of a green dragon looming over some jagged rocks or mountains, facing off against a small adventurer holding their sword above their head.

Wow. 11 years ago, my son Rory, then age 7 breathlessly delivered the rules of this game from the back of the car.

We then made it. Nice.

He’s 18 now, and we really should do an anniversary edition.
