In the most recent episode of Between 2 Cairns, reviewing B5 - Horror on the Hill, our hosts were befuddled over the conclusion that discussed "subduing the dragon." Dragon subduing is one of the bizarre quirks of White Box OD&D that has been lost to time. A small 🧵of explanation:

This adventure I wrote is live now on Kickstarter! It's got 88 pages, 2.5 dungeons, a big point crawl, and a town with some problemsssssss, baby. Look at that art! Look at those maps! Stay frosty!!!

I've been working on this for some time and with the release of the first three Cairn CAS adventures in Markdown, I thought this was as good a time as any to make a few announcements.

A few spreads from my upcoming horror adventure, The Forgetting of Lockwood Manor. Art by @robbiaburns.bsky.social and layout by @adamhensley.bsky.social. Out in time for Halloween!

THIS ADVENTURE HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH A SKULLFUNGUS MAP. @skullfungus.bsky.social

There's something very enjoyable about watching Brad make this setting from the ground up. I was trying to drastically reduce my spending this year, but this was something I decided to support, and it's been rewarding.

I have a new RPG adventure for OSE on my Patreon today. "The Shore's Hungry Mouth." Cover art by Andrew Walter! www.patreon.com/BradKerr/pos...

Finally putting time into @bradkerr.net - These sorcerous lands. Running it with OSE. Still rusty but exploring couple ways of doing this. Discord for the Play by Post 1. Out of Character Channel Threads: In-game (Per week), Maps, Lore 2. Hex Map for OOC bearings in Figma Jam; screenshot for ref.

The art!!
