Master List 1.35 (Patreon)

All right, I've started posting things in the new 2024 format now, so lemme just get a couple things asserted somewhere central for easy reference:

• The adventurers use a special format of their own that's going to be a smidge different from anything else. They're made to serve a very specific set of purposes that aren't usually relevant to monsters, and the format is there to serve those.

• The format is almost certainly going to shift again in February. There are a number of things I don't care for about it, but I'm waiting to see the full MM so I have more context to formalize a new standard I'm happy with.

Collaborations: 

That epic level adventure I've been working on with Scott McClintock is being edited now, so there might be some movement on it soon.

I'm also working on a single-target support class called the Goon with Kevlar Cat (co-creator of The Wrestler), which is all about helping one specific member of your party succeed at the expense of yourself and everyone else.

Oh, and The Red Quills illustrated a naturalist's map of my home game's campaign setting; if you want to check it out and see the process of its creation, you can find it here.

Stuff You Should Check Out: 

• Skate Wizards. It's what it says on the tin; if you want to run a one shot about the Blue Wizards throwing a brick through Saruman's window and challenging him to a skate competition to save the Fanghorn community center, this is your game.

• Slugblaster. If you want to try a more serious game about skateboarding wizards, Slugblaster is a game about being a teenage disaster in which you incidentally skateboard through magical worlds being rad as hell.

• Tactical Breach Wizards. This one's a little light on the skateboarding and also it's a video game, but don't let that put you off. This is the most fun I've had with a tactics game since the 2016 XCOM, and the writing is funny and beautiful and heartbreaking.
