Tales from the Green Scar

This is a Patreon-first release of Tales of the Green Scar, which is something I've been playing with this month. If you like it and want to see me keep working on it, lemme know!

Hello new faces!

Hi people! It's nice to see a few new faces here. Me and Cy (the Dog) say hello! 👋

There's a Dungeon World Starter in progress (the post before this one) I could use some feedback on. If there's anything else you'd like to see, let me know!

Myre-Slicked Myrmidons - DW Sandbox Setting

Hello people!

I've had a couple of lovely comments recently, which I really appreciate. It inspired me to consolidate some of my notes and ideas into a new adventure/setting/sandbox... I dunno what you want to call it.

I'll finish it up and release it as a proper PDF in a few days. Between now and then, I'd love your feedback!

January Adventure: The Gorgon Bug

Hello! It's been a while!

I want to come back to publishing regular stuff. Here's my first attempt at getting back in the saddle! 

I've not put any monster stats in, because - as you probably already know - this month has been a bit crazy with a certain massive company and open licenses. If you like what you see in here, let me know, and when the dust settles I'll update this with more content.

Patrons can grab this from their Patreon link:

Liminal State (Entry for One-Page RPG Jam 2021)

Hi all, 

Thought you might enjoy seeing my entry for One-Page RPG Jam on Itch.io - it's free to download, so grab a copy and let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Joe

Patron's Cookbook now on SPEARWITCH.COM

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say the collection of my Patreon Adventures, the Patron's Cookbook, is now for sale worldwide in print via Spearwitch.com:

https://spearwitch.com/products/the-patrons-cookbook

If you're already a patron and want to get the digital copy as well as the print copy, drop me a message/email with proof of purchase and I'll sort you out with a PDF download.

Ghost Call (Poster)

Hi all, 

A different format this month - I had a shorter adventure starter in mind, and wanted to make it look prettier - the sort of thing you can paste up on your wall to help think of new ideas. Anyway, I hope you like it! You can download the file as a PDF or HQ jpg, both ready for print.

If you want this as a poster you can physically buy, let me know and I'll look into it!

Cheers

Joe

The RPG Printing Spree, including the first PRINT RUN of my Patreon Adventures!

Howdy all,

We've (that is, me, David Schirduan and a few other grand folks) have just launched a new Kickstarter called The RPG Printing Spree. Among other fine works, if we meet pledge this'll be the first way to get the Patrons Cookbook in print, which I know is something a few of you have asked for. 

There's also Bone Marshes (which I also worked on with David), David's own Tempered Legacy, and lots of other stuff compatible with Dungeon World an...

Talking About the Patron's Cookbook (Part 1)

Happy February, lovelies! 

Ames and I took a trip down memory lane last month to talk about the Patron's Cookbook!

If you missed the stream, you can now check it out on Youtube at your leisure. 

Enjoy!

Big books one volume too? (Poll on Twitter)

Do you want to see the 'big 3' (Umberto, Mirkasa and Green Scar) combined in a single volume too? I've posted a Twitter poll to guage interest.

Where Giants Tread (DW Campaign Starter)

Guess what monster this starter is all about!

This is a very "Dungeon World-y" type adventure, very much in the veins of my older stuff. There's a good reason why that is, but that's a tale for another day. For now, enjoy this adventure. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

You can download the adventure here:

A Sneak Peek...

Sometimes, the adventure comes first and you do the design after. 

And sometimes, this happens instead...

A Bridge to Nowhere

Hope you've all been keeping well, my lovelies. I've been ticking away at my work.

I hope you enjoy this little adventure. A bit of fantasy to help us forget about the bad times for a moment, eh?

Have fun, and stay safe.

Streaming live on Twitch!

I'm streaming the start of a new Patreon adventure on Twitch - come see or check out the VOD afterwards!

The Crash of 20*6 - A Sci-fi Setting Supplement

Hello everyone! I hope you're all keeping well in these strange times. Me? I've been left without a proper day job... so more time to work on stuff like this!

Long time followers will know I've been dabbling with sci-fi stuff for a while. This is a culmination of a few pieces of work (some going back as far as 3 years!) and, I hope, the start of something awesome.

It's system-agnostic. I'm using it in conjunction with 5e in my playtests, but I'd love to see how y'all use it with o...

Come catch my Stream!

Going live on stream for a few hours today (twitch.tv/joebanner). You should be able to check the VOD if you miss it, but hope to catch you there!

A Long, Lonesome Road (March 2020)

It's been a while! With everything going on, I've had more time on my hands to write and design. Here's a starter I ran with a few friends the other week and mightily enjoyed, plus a few other ideas I've come up with.

Enjoy!

The Green Scar is DEAL OF THE DAY!

Hi all, hope you had a lovely new year!

Hunters Cove

You may have caught a sneak peek of this content on my blog; here's the finished document ready to add to the archives!

This is the start of a new campaign I'm running with my players in my home campaign right now. I'm super happy how much potential this setting has. I hope it's useful for you, too!

If I don't see you before, happy holidays!

Couple of new blog posts

Howdy all, 

Couple of new blog posts on joebanner.co.uk you might enjoy - happy to get some feedback on em. Expect one or both to feature in an upcoming setting/adventure...

Thank you Everyone!

Howdy all!

I understand Novemeber 19th was Thank You Patreons! Day, so I thought I'd say a few words.

I know I don't post on here as often as I used to - this year has been a strange one in regards to creative stuff. I've not posted as much as I'd have liked to as a result. That being said, it's been a comfort to have so many of you continue your patronage to this, my humble endeavour.

Whether you've enjoyed reading, playing or remixing my works recently or in the p...

The Green Blood of Drych'o'basz

...The wind was calm, almost too calm to coax the sails home. The skies were the colour of frozen ash. The salt water of the open waves stung cheeks; the grey skies cast a bitter mood across the deck. Below, the groans of the wounded were louder than the creaks of the battered timbers...

A new Dungeon World adventure outta nowhere! Enjoy. 

Going live on Twitch with some writing shortly

I'm gonna go live on Twitch for an hour or so to do some prep for tonight's 5e game with my mates. Feel free to stop by or check out the VoD after!*

Railsmark

Hi guys,

Here's a new PDF and a new setting based on my friendly D&D game I've been playing for about a year. Hope you guys like it!

Managing Pledge Levels

Hi everyone,

It's been brought to my attention some of you haven't got a pledge level set up correctly, which means you aren't getting all the benefits - particularly if you're a $3 pledger and aren't getting a shout-out in the credits.

I strongly recommend jumping into your Patreon settings and managing your pledge to make sure your reward is correctly set, so you're properly credited in my releases.

Thanks all, and keep on being awesome!

Highkutters: Cloudspyre

Hello all - long time no see! Have another Highkutters (formerly Highcutters.. formerly Skycutters) mini addventure. You can use this lot for Dungeon World, or there's a WoD-inspired ruleset in there as well. Enjoy!

Dungeon Lyte (Feburary 19, 0.3 Beta)

You can grab the February Beta (slightly amended from January's release) from the Dropbox archive, or the attachment below. 

This is a HUGE work in progress and should not be considered a final product. If you are interested in playtesting it and providing direct feedback, get in touch!

February Update - ongoing work

Hey all, it’s been a pretty crazy week, and Feb in general wasn't great for me or the Mrs. Regardless, an update is due!

Bone Marshes

First of all, a few announcements: as you probably know, the Bone Marshes successfully funded last weekend, which means my gig as Lead Designer is going ahead. That’ll keep me busy for a while, I think! If you’ve already pledged for it, thank you from me and David. If not, I encourage you to keep an eye on the Kickstarter page (G...

Chalcedon 200 PLUS Dungeon Lyte 2019

40 Pages!!! Gotta be quick to get this in for January. Hope y'all enjoy!

The Bone Marshes Kickstarter is live

I’m doing the design work for my good friend David Schirduan’s new Kickstarter, Bone Marshes!

I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t scared - it’s a big responsibility (my first time as a major designer for a Kickstarter) and I’m thankful to David for giving me this opportunity. David’s been a supporter of this Patreon for a LONG time - you have him and his group to thank for the classic adventure, The Planarch Vault.

If you like my stuff, I think you’ll like his too....
