Happy International Women's Day!

Today is an especially good day to celebrate the women and femmes in your life. Buy them a coffee, send them flowers, promote their projects, just drop them a note to tell them how much they mean to you.

Uplift women, fight the patriarchy, today and every day.

Hey #ttrpg creators, what is your main motivation for publishing games?

The royal shield of the Kingdom of Armonia. It is a shield divided in two diagonally from top right to bottom left. The top left-quarter is red, the bottom-right quarter is gold. In the top-left quarter is a minimalist gold crown design. In the bottom-right is a red lion rampart.

Super imposed over the image are the words:
The Peerage of Armonia
Presented in the Year 626
Compiled by Alexander of the Lorekeepers
In Service of His Royal Majesty King Kenin Aug'Wari

The trees begin to shed their winter coats as the sun stays longer in its daytime post. Messengers travel the roads once more. A wind blows from the north-west
And the Peerage of the Kingdom is delivered to all the Courts and their vassals

The Bloodlord of Guadfojd by Tanisgames A hexcrawl across a valley to kill a Vampire Lord

Instead of a sun heralding the bright day a moon of blood red rises above the horizon. Night stretches on. Bats, wolves, and the worst of people prowl for victims in the crimson light. Lording over them all is
The BLOODLORD of GUADFOJD

This morning started with a blood moon where I live. Gloriously red and terrible

By pure chance, my newest #MORKBORG #adventure is

Why not celebrate the beautiful moon by seeing you you can
