Okay. One more. Now time to stop.

A restaurant table with a pisco sour and a "Duck Stack"—a stack of pancakes covered in crumbled duck sausage, duck gravy, tabasco onions, and topped with a duck egg.

The cover and map of my latest Shadowdark adventure (although next time I am hiring a real artist, lol).

It's almost #Daggerheart time! #CoS #TTRPG

Reviews are coming in!

5 Stars. "This is an excellent Shadowdark adventure and an incredibly easy module to adapt into a larger campaign setting. I recently used it as the foundation for the first volume in an ongoing Stoneshatter campaign arc for my local game store, and it worked beautifully.

What really stands out is how efficient the design is. The adventure wastes very little space while still giving the GM enough hooks, atmosphere, and flexibility to make the tomb feel alive. The central story surrounding Prince Barizen and his family is surprisingly memorable for a compact dungeon, and my players became invested almost immediately once they realized the crypt was more tragic than evil.

The structure also supports multiple playstyles well. My group leaned heavily into roleplay and negotiation, and the module handled that shift naturally. The tomb layout, bandit occupation, traps, and environmental storytelling all create a strong sense of place without becoming overly complicated to run.

From a GM perspective, this is exactly the kind of Shadowdark adventure I want more of: concise, atmospheric, easy to prep, easy to customize, and filled with just enough lore to inspire bigger ideas without over-explaining everything.

Highly recommended for convention play, one-shots, side adventures, or as the starting point for a larger campaign. Rumor in the tavern is that there will be related titles in the future!!"

Our poor fur baby has been limping for a few weeks, so we have had him sedated and on rest as much as possible to heal. Nothing was improving, so off to a specialist we went yesterday. At 6 months, he's been diagnosed with elbow dysplasia in both his front legs. This is going to be a rough road.

The Portland weather is so nice the puppy has taken me on at least 57 walks today. #NoStickTooBig

Of course he didn’t steal it… but it is absolutely a less tongue-in-cheek version of “From Dusk ‘Til Dawn”.

Jeffrey S. Mueller@themightyjerd· Mar 13

Well that is just rude. Seriously, though. I can’t stop chuckling at this.

Does anyone else's puppy like to use your neck as a pillow while they snore directly into your earhole? No? Just me? Cool.

Yesterday was for teaching jiu jitsu, working on takedowns using vests/harnesses (for reasons), and protesting ICE here in Portland. Today is for recharging with the puppy so I can do it all over again tomorrow. Resist -> Recharge -> Repeat

The puppy got sick to his tummy, so I brought him out to the couch incase I needed to get him outside quickly. This is how I have spent the last hour.

Everyone check out this bomb-ass Fear tracker one of #Daggerheart players, the illustrious @alphastream.bsky.social, made for me! And, bonus, it detaches and clips to my GM screen! 🔥

Excuse me while this tiny guy becomes my entire personality, and helps me disassociate from the daily news, for the next few months.

It has arrived! #13thAge was a big #TTRPG blindspot for me, so looking forward to digging into 2e. Side note. This is the best looking GM screen I have ever seen.
