Lotrin’s F*cked Up House – a fan sequel to They Served Brandolyn Red
I saw this over on the DCC Rocks – apparently Mr. Shane Hickey is actually taking advantage of one of the “Continuing the Adventure” hooks in our beloved Brandy and creating Lotrin’s Fucked Up House – an adventure where the player’s investigate what happened to Dorthala Whitegrass (who is a significant, albeit unseen, NPC in They Served Brandolyn Red) and is also the wife of Lotrin Whitegrass. I’m looking forward to seeing whatever he comes up with. You can see the post here ; you likely need to join...
read moreReba Pyron art exhibit, The Rot
Wanted to promote a new art exhibit from Thick Skull Adventures’ family member, Ms. Reba Pyron who recently showed exhibit of her work at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. Her show, The Rot, captures a lot of her imagination and talent. You can check out pictures of the exhibit here. (Picture swiped from Cailin Shamess’ Facebook album from the show) Reba has contributed illustrations to Attack of the Frawgs, Stronghold of the Wood Giant Shaman, and the cover for the upcoming Children of the Fallen...

read moreThanks for your support on Alzheimer’s walk
Hello you generous Thick Skullers! I wanted to send a thank you to everyone who supported me in my efforts for the Alzheimer’s walk. In the end I had about 20 people contribute and raised $450! I was pleasantly surprised at how much participation there was and was pleased to connect with some many people in the community. While the promotion is now closed, I look forward to trying this again next year and hope to see many of you at the game table soon. Thanks! Stephen

read moreFrawgs back in stock—last chance for Larvik
Hello Thickskullers! Good news! After being unavailable for several months, I’ve re-loaded the distribution channel with fresh copies of Attack of the Frawgs and The Haunting of Larvik Island so those two products are once again orderable from places like the ever-loyal FRPGames.com. And in a bittersweet development, the shipment I sent them was my last copies of The Haunting of Larvik Island. As of this writing, I have no plans to re-print any copies so once those copies are gone they’ll probably stay gone until the day I eventually finish...
read moreOneBookShelf Content Policy – One Year Later
TL;DR Summary: One year after OneBookShelf implements new content policy, zero books have been banned. Approximately one year ago, the role-playing game PDF behemoth OneBookShelf—the parent company of DriveThruRPG.com, RPGNow.com, DNDClassics.com and other related sites—implemented a new Offensive Content Policy. While OBS had banned one title in the past (the GamerGate card game), the title that catalyzed OBS into clarifying their offensive content policy was Tournament of Rapists – a d20 Modern supplement. You can read the full policy...

Happy Birthday, Mr. Bishop A couple of weeks ago–and I believe sometime last year as well, although my memory is foggy on this–I was fortunate to be included in a group of folks who receive a free adventure from prolific author and gentleman judge, Mr. +Daniel Bishop to help celebrate his birthday. While I’d missed the original posting on the blog, apparently to be eligible to receive the mathom, you needed to post a review of something he’d written and link to it in the comments. As Daniel has been superb about posting...
