A couple of things I’ve worked on have been published recently, so thought I’d post a brief update. I started working on Campaign Builder: Castles & Crowns in Autumn 2022 and turned over my chapter on Rulers and Kingdoms in April 2023. Now, the book is out to buy from Drivethrurpg and will soon beContinue reading “Game Design News – Castles & Crowns and Tall Tales by Firelight”

Game Design News – Temple of Sekolah & Hidden Tomb of Nargoth
It’s been a while since I’ve posted any game design news but a couple of adventures I wrote in the second half of last year have now been released so I thought I should blog about them here! Today I received the latest four issues of Dungeons & Dragons Adventurer #31 – 34. These featureContinue reading “Game Design News – Temple of Sekolah & Hidden Tomb of Nargoth”
Happy 10th Birthday Parsantium!
Ten years ago this week, we published Parsantium: City at the Crossroads, a detailed city sourcebook designed for use with all editions of D&D and Pathfinder – including the soon-to-be released 5e rules. Parsantium is a melting pot, a cosmopolitan place where trade routes meet and where great cultures collide. Inspired by Byzantium with its richContinue reading “Happy 10th Birthday Parsantium!”
Dungeon23 – Glittering Chamber of the Dao
Well, #Dungeon23 is finished! I managed 183 rooms, so half a year, which I’m pretty happy with. Here’s the final map, the Elemental Earth-themed Level 6. Room Descriptions 173 – Crumbling stone steps lead from the secret door in [27] on Level 4, bypassing the fish-folk caverns on Level 5. The walls have small nichesContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Glittering Chamber of the Dao”
2023: My Year in TTRPG Gaming
It’s been another busy year of game design projects and running and playing TTRPGs. Here are my 2023 highlights. Like lots of folk, I embarked on a #Dungeon23 project on 1st January, designing a new dungeon room each day. My dungeon is part of Parsantium’s vast Hidden Quarter, and gave me a great opportunity toContinue reading “2023: My Year in TTRPG Gaming”
Dungeon23 – Halls of the Slaughter Cult
The latest completed map is the sixth part of what will be an eight part map of Level 3. This area lies to the west of Caverns of the Heart Eaters and south of the Tainted Tunnels of the Triple-Headed Daeva. Just 20 days (and rooms) to go! Room Descriptions 147 – Tunnel to theContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Halls of the Slaughter Cult”
Dungeon 23 – Tainted Tunnels of the Triple-Headed Daeva
The latest map shows the area to the west of the Fungal Caverns of the Cloaker Conclave and east of the Cannibal Caverns of the Gorger. After looking over the other Level 3 maps, I’ve changed my plan for the rest of the project and I’m going to try and complete an 8-part map ofContinue reading “Dungeon 23 – Tainted Tunnels of the Triple-Headed Daeva”
Dungeon23 – Fungal Caverns of the Cloaker Conclave
The latest map of Parsantium’s Hidden Quarter explores the area north of the Caverns of the Heart Eaters on Level 3. The next map will cover the area to the west of this one. My aim for the rest of the project is to expand each level, building on the maps I drew earlier inContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Fungal Caverns of the Cloaker Conclave”
Dungeon23 Level 2 – Forgotten Halls of Hanuman
With the Shattered Halls of the Black Pyramid map finished, Level 2 is complete as far as this project is concerned, so I wanted to see how it was looking and pulled together a composite map. The map below doesn’t include the Cult Temple of the Moon Goddess which is lies to the west andContinue reading “Dungeon23 Level 2 – Forgotten Halls of Hanuman”
Dungeon23 – Shattered Halls of the Black Pyramid
The latest map of Parsantium’s Hidden Quarter shows the area west of the Fuligin Chambers of the Dark Ones and north of the Haunted Halls of Hanuman on Level 2. I’m still pondering where to go next. Level 3 would be logical, but Level 4 and Level 5 only have one existing map each, comparedContinue reading “Dungeon23 – Shattered Halls of the Black Pyramid”
