The Witch-Finder, Monster and Background
Founded centuries ago, the Order of St. Sigford, known as the Witch-Finders, is one of the three militant religious orders on Isurholm. While nowadays most Witch-Finders in the Barony of Ludenesse jail and fine herbalists, fortune-tellers, and practitioners of folk medicine, the most hardened of the order still hunt down powerful "evil" practitioners of magic like St. Sigford did in the stories.
4 Merchants You Meet on the Road
Meet some of the many rotating traveling merchants I have slotted into the 7 on my 2d6 random encounter table. I use a silver standard and stats for Cairn. ¶ Hannah Grimsdottir ¶ 8 HP, 2A (chainmail), 16 STR, flamberge Beloved One d10 + d10
Neither a Borrower or Lender Be
For blog Friday, folks are doing currency stuff. I had two ideas, so I'll be putting up 4 merchants you meet on the road next week too. ¶ In my 5e home game, my players opened a university/vampire nightclub (naturally). On their many adventures, they will often end up hiring a professor or bartender along the way.
Yes Chef! Chef background for Cairn 2e
Maybe a lot of us have been watching Dungeon Meshi. I put together this Cairn 2e background inspired by the show, the blogs I've read about cooking in TTRPGs, and my own love of cooking. As a sidenote, I recently injured myself on a mandolin and subsequently ordered a chainmail glove, so now I'll own some chainmail! Now that's D&D.
Weather Hex Flower App for Dolmenwood
I found this Hex Flower for generating random weather with sensible, gradual trends. Works great, really liked it, but I wanted it to work with seasons, so I forked it. Since I'm putting together a Dolmenwood campaign too, I wanted to add unseasons. I also want to add other types of seasons like wet and dry, but that will be later. Or never!
Hexer Background for Cairn 2e
My pal Rio (co-host with me on Tabletopped) said that he really wanted to play a Witcher character. I asked him what he felt the core of that type of character would be and he said the potions: gathering the ingredients, brewing them, and getting absolutely wasted. So I made a background for Cairn 2e that focuses especially on potions. I also included signs.
EPUBs for TTRPG Adventures
When I started publishing adventures last year, I decided to add EPUB and HTML versions to offer options accessible to screen reader users. I was curious about how many people actually use EPUBs to read adventures and Symbolic City put up a poll about it. 54% never use EPUBs while the rest sometimes do. But some of the comments mentioned that EPUB is very rarely an option. ¶ My educational and professional background is in publishing and I've been working with EPUBs for over a decade at this point, so I thought I would share my workflow for putting together EPUBs for my adventures.
