Just a quick heads up...

So Wizards of the Coast has sent me a cease and desist letter regarding my older covers. They think they're too similar to their official trade dress. So, I have ten days to go back and change all of them to meet their demands or else they're going to sue me into oblivion. 
I also need to remove all instances of the older covers from my social media, so don't be surprised if you see a lot of posts vanish from my socials. I'll also have to update the files on Patreon with the new cover...

Torch & Dagger Subreddit

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

I wanted to let you know I've setup a subreddit for my upcoming game, Torch & Dagger. I wanted to do this to help separate it from my Discord and Patreon since most of you are here for D&D 5e adventures. If you're interested in this new project of mine, feel free to go join the sub to keep up to date on it.

Introducing Torch & Dagger...

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

So, those of you over on the Discord channel have seen some sneak peeks of this, but I wanted to officially announce my latest project.

The book is coming in at around 100 pages with 50 monsters, 10 quest prompts, in-depth character creation rules, and everything needed to run the game as a Game Master. I'm hoping to bring this to Kickstarter in either Dece...

MONTHLY FREE ADVENTURE: There Be Dragons

Ulthurus, an adult white dragon, has recently made its lair in the remains of Icefang Fortress in the Bladespine Mountains. From its new roost, it's been accosting traveling caravans and nearby villages leaving icy destruction in its wake.

Recently, a prized relic was stolen from the house of the m...

Post Kickstarter Shenanigans

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

Well, we did it! The Kickstarter was a roaring success! Now, I get to dig into all the stuff that goes on behind the scenes of a successful Kickstarter. That means working with overseas manufacturers, a fulfillment company, my artist, my collaborators, and setting up everything through BackerKit so we can accept late pledges and do add-ons.

It's gonna be a busy few weeks lol.

But don't worry! I haven't forgotten about you!

MONTHLY FREE ADVENTURE: The Unquiet Dead

Long ago, a devil named Durgon came to our world. He brought with him fire and brimstone, and a cult arose around him. Together, they spread fear and death across the land. Eventually, Durgon was slain by a cleric of the light, a man named Davos. In order to keep the devil from returning to our world, Davos sealed his bones away beneath a temple and placed divine wards on it to prevent Durgon's cultists from reaching them. Many years passed and Davos finally succumbed to old age, his body lai...

BONUS MONTHLY ADVENTURE: Frozen Temple of the Ice Priest

The ice priests of Zhazadune once blanketed the north in a never-ending ice storm. All seemed lost until a band of intrepid adventures assaulted their temple compound and destroyed the structure and all within it. Gravely injured, and trapped in the halls beneath the temple, the last of the ice priests sealed himself away in their ritual chamber and entered a frozen stasis to heal and wait for the day he could seek his revenge. Recently, a group of cultists have discovered the ruins and are t...

BONUS MONTHLY ADVENTURE: Abbey of the Black Prince

Many years ago, Torin the Black Prince led a bloody campaign to subjugate the kingdom under his iron rule. When his enemies united to drive him off, he made a deal with a dark god to gain incredible power. He was turned into a vampire and his men were twisted into ghouls and ghasts. Despite this, the forces of light and good were able to drive him back. Defeated, but unwilling to die, he sealed himself away inside the temple where he first gained his powers. Now, this temple has been rediscov...

BONUS MONTHLY ADVENTURE: Palace of the Fire Oracle

For many years, artisans and craftsmen have paid tribute to Vulkarr, the elemental god of creation. Recently, his temple has been overtaken by a cult of elemental worshipping zealots. Seeking the primordial power the elementals wield, they've summoned forth a great number of the creatures which have now overrun the entire temple complex. The few clergy who were able to flee have sought the help of brave adventurers to clear out the temple and retrieve the  holy relic, Vulkarr's Hammer, f...

BONUS MONTHLY ADVENTURE: Forsaken Labyrinth of the Golden Baron

The Golden Baron once ruled the valley with an iron fist. He taxed his people relentlessly and amassed incredible wealth. When he died, he was buried within a mazelike complex with all of his wealth and servants. The location of the tomb was thought to be lost to time, however, one of the builders smuggled out a map to it before he was killed along with the others who worked on it. Now, the map has come into the possession of a group of adventurers. It will take skillful hands and a sharp eye...

MONTHLY FREE ADVENTURE: Fire & Brimstone

For eons, Vosphor, Lord of Flames, has ruled over a small corner of the elemental plane of fire, his lust for conquest constantly putting him at odds with the other powers at be in the land of fire. Thus, they waged a great war against him, forcing him back to his keep on the Planes of Sulphur and ridding him of most of his army. Unwilling to be beaten, Vosphor made plans to take his remaining forces beyond his realm and into our own. With fire elementals, salamanders, and fire giants at his ...

Quick Update!

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

Just wanted to give you all (especially the new folks) a quick update on what I've been up to and what to expect in the coming month(s).

So, I've been devoting a lot of time to my Kickstarter which launches next Tuesday. I've got some amazing partners so I'm pretty confidant we'll fund rather quickly.

As for adventures, I released the Captain Starlight anthology this month (plus a bonus Valentine's Day adventure!). I hope you all e...

The Captain Starlight Anthology

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

So for this month I decided to try something a little different. I wrote four adventures that are interconnected and feature recurring NPCs, monsters, and magic items. Let me know if you like this style of writing. If you do, I might try writing another series of adventures in the future!

MONTHLY FREE ADVENTURE: The Adventures of Captain Starlight

Possible Stretch Goal?

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

It's been a busy time over here as we prep for the launch of the Kickstarter. As I work out sponsorships for us, I'm also working on potential stretch goals and add-ons. I've been kicking around an idea for a book of 26 diseases and afflictions that fit into the world of D&D 5e. Is that something you'd be interested in? Above is an example page from that document.

Kickstarter Pricing Poll v2

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

Soooo I've been thinking about the book. I really want to get all forty adventures to you folks. I don't like the idea of locking some behind stretch goals and hoping we get there. So, I'm leaning towards just tossing them all in the base book. That's over 300 pages of content.

Sounds great right? Well, there's a snag.

You see, a 300+ page book is a LOT more expensive to print than a 90 page book. So that means the price would have...

Kickstarter Pricing Poll

Hey there guys, gals, and adventuring pals!

So I'm in the process of working with vendors to find a fulfillment partner for the Kickstarter. As I do, I'm getting different price quotes based on the various possible sizes of the final book. I wanted to ping you folks and get your input on what you think a fair price for the hardcover book would be?

Right now, if we JUST hit the goal, it's a 90 page book with sixteen adventures. If we hit all our stretch goals, it's over 200 pages w...

KICKSTARTER PREVIEW: The World of Arden

The World of Arden

When I first started writing adventures for the fifth edition of Dungeons & Dragons, I didn’t take into consideration my world as a whole. Each adventure was meant to stand on its own and slot into whatever world you, the Dungeon Master, needed it to. Over time, however, I found myself writing about the same people and places over and over again, until eventually I had a rough idea in my mind of what the world looked liked as a whole. Thus, Arde...
