Unfortunately I’m unable to make it to Gen Con this weekend. Dragon Town and a bunch of drawing guides are at the CRWN Studios booth (2549) though!
Just put out my entry for the Appendix N Jam! I learned a lot on "how to" and especially "how not to" create a dungeon. I got to experiment with some ideas I've had for a while, and I can't wait to explore them even more! #ttrpg #osr #rpg #horror tales-from-the-unknown.itch.io/coral-overlord

I am one of those people who played games, but finally got the confidence to run them after watching Matt's running the game videos. I also started a YouTube channel through his example (and others) that has changed my life completely... youtu.be/UAAtRkYPIOo?...

MÖRK BORG@morkborg.com · last mo.We invented a new kind of zine for this one. www.youtube.com/shorts/HwNa3...
As usual, Clayton has some great perspective on a simple, but super important part of the zine/book making process. My zines are half-letter (digest, 8.5x11 inches folded in half) but I think about switching it up to A4 (again, folded in half) all the time!
