read moreStronghold of the Wood Giant Shaman (Now Available)
These are not your father’s giants… Wood giants—animalistic evolutionary ancestors of hill giants—have emerged from the forests of the Fulthon Mountains to harry and pillage human villages with impunity. Ferocious and feral, they kidnap the weak to sacrifice in their barbaric rituals. Decades ago, your ancestors—stout and brave adventurers of renown—eliminated a previous giant threat, and thus people expect such heroism from you. But not is all at it seems, as a chaotic force lurks behind the scenes. And if survival against a stronghold of...
read moreShaving Head for St. Baldrick Foundation
Devo and I shaved our heads today in order to raise money for St. Baldrick Foundation, an organization dedicated to conquering childhood cancers. Wasn’t such a big deal for Devo, as he usually keeps his hair that short, but for me… well, let’s just say I’m still getting used to feeling wind on my scalp. I suppose I should now write up St. Baldrick as a patron. ...

Hello Thick Skullers! It’s been a big and busy week in gaming so let’s dive straight in to some of the highlights: Celesticon 2014 Celesticon 2014 is happening this weekend in Fremont CA at the Fremont Marriott. I picked up a Saturday pass and got the opportunity to play with some folks I’d never met before. All of them were fun and passionate gamers. Glory, death, and deity disapproval were all in abundance this afternoon as Judge +Chris Garner took myself, +Ben Blank and others through +Jobe Bittman‘s excellent...
read moreWhat to do with 4E version of Larvik?
Once upon a time, I published my first module: a 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons adventure called The Haunting of Larvik Island. I was proud of the story and creatures I’d come up with for this adventure, but was never quite happy with the 4E mechanics. Luckily Goodman Games published Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG, I converted the module, and the rest is history. The original 4E Larvik didn’t sell nearly as well as I thought it would (as an example: the DCC RPG version sold as many copies in the first month of its release as the...

read moreThe Squatch and Dwarven Languages
Disisiyan For the last 6 months I was running my alpha playtest for my upcoming adventure “TSA-004”. This new adventure has a couple of new giant-like creatures in it, specifically, Wood Giants and Squatches (more details on that as once I officially announce the adventure and all its deatils, suffice to say, it’s currently in editing phase and will soon enter layout phase…) Anyway, one of the playtesters is Josh Agee, who just happens to be a linguist by trade. When during the course of the adventure the situation...
read moreChained Coffin Kickstarter is Live
Happy Friday Thickskullers, Wanted to draw your attention the recently announced Kickstarter for the Goodman Games module The Chained Coffin by Michael Curtis. Basically the module is coming out either way, but depending on the Kickstarter, you’ll get a really interesting “feely” (as they used to call such things back in the Infocom days). You can read/listen all about it here: Chained Coffin Kickstarter Reason I’m mentioning here, is this is one of the adventures I actually did playtesting for a few months back....
