Currently doing freelance layout for a zine that kickstarted back at the beginning of the year. When I did the layout for my big D&D 5e book, I could just make any changes I wanted right away. I'm making a list of little things for the client to address as I go. 1/2

Something happened today that has never happened before. My wife and I went to IKEA...and left without buying anything.

If you're in western Iowa, eastern Nebraska, or southeaster South Dakota and you're interesting in hitting up a gaming convention... ...Sioux City Geek Con is Aug. 28-30. I'll have a vendor table there. You should come by, say hi, and we can talk gaming. tabletop.events/conventions/... #ttrpg

Sioux City Geek Con (Fall 2026)

I'll be a vendor at Pride in the Park on Sept. 5th. Noon-6pm, Riverside Park, La Crosse WI. It'll be my first time selling outdoors. I've got a bold purple canopy/tent, so I'll be easy to find. The canopy is also my kids' school color, so it's multipurpose.

I went on a walk last night and got hit with an aroma of deliciousness...someone was grilling bratwurst at 11pm. I was hungry for the next 10 minutes.

I just wrote up a couple of new bard subclasses for my next big D&D supplement, one of which uses books. #dnd #ttrpg #book #3rdparty

In 2017, I decided to make blue dragonscale cosplay armor to wear to Gen Con. Each scale was hand cut, heat shaped, painted, and sewn onto the armor. I sometimes overdo things when I try something new. I gave extra dragon scales away to kids at the con. It still hangs in my office. #gencon

Hey, history / literature people. Can I get the names of one or more folk heroes who were women? Maybe some that have had multiple events/adventures/feats? I'd like more cultural references for my imagination to work from. Thanks. #heroine #writing #inspiration

It feels nice to check the library's catalog and see that both copies of my book are currently checked out. If you happen to procure books for a library that carries hardcover D&D books, I do give a deal on pricing for such establishments. You just gotta ask. :) #dnd #ttrpg #rpg

Figured out game stats for a new PC species (with 5 ancestries) for D&D tonight. I'll write up descriptions over the next couple of days. Yet more new stuff for my next book. :)

Do you want to page through a giant, 3rd party (no $ for Hasbro) D&D hardcover book that you won't find on Amazon? Want to chat in person with the author? I'll have a table at the vendor/craft fair inside Vally View Mall (La Crosse, WI) this weekend. I'll be easy to spot.

A few days ago, I harvested a bunch of jalapeños from the plants I've been growing for 2-3 years. I was planning on just pickling and canning them. Turns out my youngest son (age 16) likes to dice them and add them to pasta and rice that he makes for himself.

If you have a podcast, stream, video channel, etc. and you're looking for a guest to talk about D&D, DMing, making homebrew or 3rd party content, publishing, or even just general geeky interests...I'm available and I like to talk. I've made such appearances before, it was always fun. #ttrpg #dnd

What does one do after writing, designing, editing, illustrating, crowdfunding, & publishing a giant D&D 5e book? Work on a 2nd one, of course, which I've been doing for over a year now. Want all the updates? I have a Discord channel for that. amethyst-dragon.com/book/#book2 #dnd #writing #ttrpg

Thanks for the space, Amethyst Dragon! I've been working on a 5e replacement for about three years. I've recently set up the Kickstarter Pre-Launch page for 6th Dawn, for people to follow while waiting for it to launch after I work on finishing the bulk of the mechanical details.

Coming soon: 6th Dawn

I've kept my writing discipline since leaving journalism and I've created a bunch of Forgotten Realms booklets on DMs Guild (over 70). I've wanted to write a Forgotten Realms series since high school, so I'm achieving my dream in some way.
