As the party approaches 9th level and accrues more properties, domains, and henchmen, more detail about the capital city of the Thunder Rift and the Quadrial was required.

Completed in about 8 hours.

In the ongoing Thunder Rift Campaign, players can access all entries on the different peoples and cultures of the Rift - it helps represent common knowledge and deepens the setting.

Rappan Athuk was my first megadungeon campaign (from 2020 to 2025), but the first time someone rolled a random ‘Find the Path’ scroll as treasure, I realized I needed a better understanding of the connections between the dozens of dungeon levels presented in the volume.

I’d like to say that the circles are proportional to a level’s number of rooms or importance, but they are just whatever size made the visualization work.

Represents about 3 hours - I definitely made the frame too big for the amount of content required for the campaign. I may at some point digitize the drawing so I can properly crop it down and add some texture.

These help me improvise NPCs, businesses, and other embellishment for the party’s current location. As of July 2025, the campaign is a year old and pretty all of the reference materials (house rules, homebrew, denizens, geography) is done.

Between the Denizens of Ylaruam chapter and the Geography chapter, I found a Midjourney prompt that actually produces the style of images that I needed for a black and white document; but the transition is still a bit jarring. I don’t know if there is a way to escape the slightly ‘off’ feeling that a lot of generative AI artworks have.

My New Year’s resolution in 2025 started as ‘Join/Run more games!’ so I ended up offering to run a Star Wars game and suddenly half a dozen interested players.

Not realizing it would come together so quickly I actually stole the formatting and character sheet from an ongoing sci fi RPG project I’m working on and got the whole campaign document and content done in only a couple of weeks. Still need to draw a sector map though; I’m getting tired of redrawing it on a dry erase board every session.

Disclaimer: the Rainworlders and Excargan artworks are generated by Midjourney.

The premise of the campaign is that a number of stormtroopers are stranded on a remote world in the aftermath of the Battle of Endor. The player characters don’t start out with any notable characteristics, background, or even identity. Even after 4-5 sessions, the character development has been really fun to watch.

This character has been proved to be less than up to the task for anything but a one shot. One of the players has made a better one and we are working on combining the aesthetics and readability of this one with the more comprehensive sheet (without also losing the advantage of it being a one-pager).

Including a beautiful ink sketch from Steven de Waele (Stone Drunk Wizard).

Right before the OGL debacle I was working on a conversion of the original magic-user spells and class description from D&D (1974) and Chainmail Rules for Miniatures. I may still release a version of this on the website but it would take a significant revision before it’s ready to go.
