Blimey! It's here at last. I've been working on this book for over a year and although it hasn't been released yet you've probably read most of it already!
I've had a blast writing the various 20 Things articles over the last year or so and putting together this book. I've enjoyed very much sharing the component articles with the wo...

Epic news. Over the weekend, we hit a milestone of almost mythic proportions. With the arrival of Brandon Loizides, Kurt Roesener and Dave Harrison into the Swan Horde there are now over 100 of us! Welcome, chaps--and thanks for joining us!
A year ago, when Raging Swan Press launched on Patre...

Prison breaks provide almost limitless opportunities for adventure. However, few adventures feature prison breaks because they are problematic to flesh out. Designing all the prisoners and the guards and the many minor events the PCs witness would take m...

This week has been a busy one at Global HQ, but a tremendously satisfying one. I see to be in a rather excellent grove at the moment and cracking through our release schedule. I think I've got one book left for April to PDF and send off to the printers--GM's Miscellany: Urban Dressing II--and then I'm into May! That's amazing and with (potential) free time app...

This week, I'm helping your players loot the druids they slay in your campaign! (And I'm doing it in both Pathfinder and System Neutral Editions!) I hope you enjoy them and that they make GMing easier and more fun. If you've got a suggestion for a future instalment in the line, I'd love to know; just leave a comment below.

Hello everyone!
It's Tuesday, and I find myself in a rather marvellous mood.
This week, we posted up some more rather marvellous free resources for all your GMs out there. It's a bit of an eclectic mix this week, mainly because I've been focused on completing some of the suggestions you chaps have sent me. (And, of course, if you have any more sug...

It was a big week, last week with two rather large releases. By now you should have copies of both Shunned Valley of the Three Tombs and the System Neutral Edition version of 2016-02-23 08:59:16 +0000 UTC View Post
I've been GMing for over 30 years and I like to think--to a certain extent--I know what I'm doing. However, only a very foolish--or perhaps supremely arrogant--GM believes he knows everything. I've played with such a GM and it wasn't a pleasant experience.
One of my goals as a GM is to make sure everyone is having fun and that my game is as awesome as it can be. In my eternal quest to do just that, I spend a lot of time thinking about, writing about and researching the art of GMing.&...

This week, Raging Swan Press is releasing both Pathfinder-focused and a System Neutral Edition of I Loot the Rogue's Body. You'll find copies of both editions attached to this post. I hope you enjoy them and that they add depth, verisimilitude and--most importantly--fun to your campaign.

It's been another jolly busy, but fun, week here at Global HQ, and--rather marvellously--we've had no electrical fires! This is a Good Thing.

So without further ado, behold:

Finally, here we are! After months of plotting, planning and even a little bit of scheming I'm releasing the first "proper" System Neutral Edition for a Raging Swan Press product. Hooray!

Last week, Raging Swan Press released a flurry of new "20 Things" articles. As you'll recall from last week, we've changed our tremendously clever "20 Things" strategy so more posts pop up on the site. Thus, this week, we've got four "20 Things" articles for you!
