Are people tired of vampires? Are vampires played out? Or is there interest in my Dracula / Castlevania / Frankenstein / Vampire Hunter D book next year? #osr #ttrpg #cairn #Shadowdark
Just added all four books in the Elf Saga series to my Patreon, if you like globe-trotting epic fantasy action adventure with a bit of humor! www.patreon.com/JosephRLewis
GaryCon 12: The ineffable @bradkerr.net ran a hilarious Dolmenwood game for us back at the house (shoutout to the best paladin ever @weirdwonder.bsky.social )
GaryCon 11: I watched "The State of the OSR" panel with all of these outstanding nerds (they only managed to embarrass me a little bit)
GaryCon 10: I watched Kelsey Dionne question her audience about what they wanted to see in Shadowdark's future
GaryCon 9: I ran my new little one-shot "Let's Slay a Dragon" for my buddies Yochai, Bobby, and @cameronmaas.bsky.social (Bobby died but Cameron slayed the dragon!)
GaryCon 8: I playtested a new Shadowdark adventure down in the bowels of the resort with these fine adventurers (halfling thieves rule!)
GaryCon 5: I went to the live show of Between Two Cairns with @yochaigal.bsky.social , @bradkerr.net , @betterlegends.bsky.social , which was hilarious (hanging with the excellent Amanda P and Ben Marra)
GaryCon 4: Then I played Pirate Borg again with the cinematic master Tyler Stratton! ...and I turned into a parrot for the second time that day
GaryCon 3: I played Pirate Borg in a water park! (It was quite humid) we hacked into and out of a Goonies-style puzzle dungeon, and i died a lot, and ended up a possessed parrot
GaryCon 2: I was on a panel with @bradkerr.net and @directsun.bsky.social to chat about how to design a great puzzle dungeon
I made a t-shirt with the cover art from House of the Wasp #shadowdark #ttrpg #osr cottonbureau.com/p/3QVUFP
No... no, I'm not wrong. This was pretty good. We should all be talking more about this...
My new #Shadowdark adventure "House of the Wasp" is now in print on DriveThruRPG and Amazon. Who is ready for some samurai and ninja action? #osr #dnd #ttrpg
And lastly we sat in a playtest of the upcoming game Crows with @jamesintrocaso.bsky.social . Spoilers: the game is a super fun dungeon-crawler that combines a bunch of my favorite systems
Then we ran a quick Dark Sun Arena session with the incomparable June. In the gladiator arena, I was the first to fall!
Next we played Caverns of Thracia in DCC. Loved the adventure, the GM was excellent, the minis were bonkers. It was a rolling West Marches game, so I was the 4th person to play my cleric. Very cool experience.
First we played Daggerheart on a very impressive table. Not my favorite system, found it a bit crunchy and complicated for my taste
