Hello everyone!

After finishing up The Everfog - Field of Spears I got to work on the next single quest module named Mother of Loam

In this one you and your table are going to try and help the town of Brockenbrook reclaim their sleep and venture into the haunted Brockenbrack swamps.

The art prompt and additional illustrations in the PDF were generously supplied by ZebraFeatherAH over on Mastodon. Do give them a look and say hi, if you like their work.

The quick adventure / quest comes as a full PDF and audio transcript.

Hope you enjoy!

Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago I had an idea for a bit of a creative challenge and collaboration to create single quest modules for ttrpgs. I approached some lovely artists over on Mastodon and some agreed to give this a go. Since I mainly play DND, it's d20 compatible, but can be adopted into (probably) anything.

The idea is simple: An artist creates or gives me a piece they've made already without any context or further information. I take what I can see and write a single quest module inspired by the artwork.

The Everfog - Field of Spears is the very first one and it's slightly spooky, halloween-y. Another one (with a similar atmosphere) will be released in the next two weeks.

Here's the first paragraph from the (free) 4-page PDF:

A mysterious and ancient sickly green pyramid sits at the center of the crater atop the mountain Kaal. The crater is eternally covered in a thick and impenetrable

Good day everyone, hope you're doing well!

I've made a new video and blog post on the topic of how to deal with sessions where people can't make it.

My solution is fairly simple but effective: The Woven Dream, a state of dreaming where party members experience shared dreams. Besides allowing the group to play instead of skipping a session, it also allows you to really dig into the background of any (or all) of the present characters.

It's not something that'll work every time, but it's served me really well, and I wanted to share the idea with you.

I've also taken the feedback from this and other communities around here and my stuff isn't just videos anymore, but blog posts as well and the blog posts have a full audio narration of the blog post for those that prefer podcasts or to account for accessibility.

Hope it gives you some inspiration!

An idea put forward to turn items the characters already have into magic items rather than only (or primarily) giving them magic items they can find.
