Applications for the Jump-9 Grant go live tomorrow. We have 250+ new writers signed up already to be notified. If you're having issues with the form let me know, for some reason Klaviyo built a landing page that does not work for most people!

Dungeons & Dragons isn't about tactical combat or storytelling or found-family or whatever, it's about opening different kinds of doors.

D&D is a folk game that grew out of a tradition of war games in the midwest Hasbro can not own your table's game

Wow the response to my first post was so nice, thank you all! I doubt I'll top that manifesto, but for my sophomore slump, here are some rules for playing elves and dwarves and shit, adapted from my best recollections of that campaign barenuckelavee.bearblog.dev/elves-and-ot...

Only read about dragons in books. The information online is accurate but the goverment will monitor how much of it you access and if they decide you're getting too close to the truth they'll send a real dragon to kill you

I ran Lair of the Lamb for players brand new to ttrpgs, and it is probably the best introductory dungeon I've ever run. Write up here: octopusink.blot.im/lair-of-the-...

If you haven't heard, yesterday we released Wages of Sin for Mothership. This one is a big swing for us. Our first hardcover book, it's 300+ pages long. It's more of a toolkit than a straight adventure. I think you should check it out, lemme go over why. www.tuesdayknightgames.com/products/wag...
