People writing books and/or RPG adventures, what’s the nerdiest, most pointless bit of research you’ve done in the name of worldbuilding that you very probably didn’t need to do & no one else cared about? I just found my old notes with all the phases of the moon & tides in Northern England in 1566

okay I am home after spending a week with my parents helping my dad recover from open-heart surgery (he's improving, and everything is good!) So I wanna talk a quick bit about Sprigs & Kindling and our ennie nominations. :)

We're honestly blown away that Sprigs & Kindling has been nominated for two ENNIE Awards.

This has always been a volunteer project. The goal is simple: give new creators a place to learn the ropes of TTRPG publishing—writing, editing, layout, art, proofreading, and everything else that goes into making a book. Breaking into the industry is hard, and we've been lucky enough to watch a bunch of our contributors go on to publish professionally.

Seeing a free community zine recognized alongside so many incredible projects is pretty surreal.

If you like what we're doing and want to support a volunteer-run project that's all about helping new voices, we'd really appreciate your vote.

And whether you vote or not, thanks to everyone who's written, edited, illustrated, laid out, proofread, read, or shared Sprigs & Kindling. This nomination belongs to all of you.
