Show of hands: Who loves (or has played) Mork Borg? If you’re not familiar with the game, Mork Borg is a “rules-light”, Old School Renaissance style roleplaying game that’s heavy on atmosphere and promises gruesome, heavy metal action and mayhem. The whole rulebook is 80-ish pages (including an adventure), and it’s a great system to …
We’re back with another Side Quest! This time I’m showing some love to the misunderstood mechanical minions of Mecanus: Modrons! I wanted to try something a little different so this encounter is less of a dungeon-crawl and more of a race. Will the adventurers get the lost modrons home before they corrupt? Find out in …

Woah look out, Side Quests are back, baby! As a quick primer, I started a new job with WizKids earlier this year, and while I was able to keep producing maps and adventures for our Patrons, I unfortunately couldn’t manage the time or energy to update the Side Quests on the website. However, now that …
Hey everyone! It’s been a hectic few weeks for us: the holidays kept us busy, I turned my focus towards finishing the third Wild Beyond the Witchlight map pack as well as an “under-NDA” project, and we moved to Washington. Why Washington, you might ask? It’s been a secret so far, but I got a …
‘Tis the season to play tons of TTRPGS! The weather outside might be frightful, but at least inside we have dice and good company (and perhaps a delightful fire). For those of you running a last minute game and need a bit of inspiration, I’ve got ten festive D&D encounter ideas to help stimulate those …
Things are quite busy in our neck of the woods! We just released the 2nd Chapter of our Wild Beyond the Witchlight map pack (more on that below), I’ve signed on to write some one-shots for a TTRPG company I utterly adore (NDA life prevents me from sharing more, unfortunately), and Court is still recuperating …
Dragons are so hot right now thanks to the release of the newest D&D book “Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons”. It’s surprising to see how much lore and content was waiting to be mined and published to really flesh out ½ of D&D’s namesake. I’m barely halfway through (review coming soon), but I’m already getting tons …

It’s been a bit, but I’m back! I’ve been hard at work on the newest map pack for Wild Beyond the Witchlight! I’ll talk a bit about that later, but for now let’s shift into spooky season. Just like last time, you never know what your players are going to get up to during a …
I’m back with another simple random dungeon for September’s Design-A-Dungeon Challenge! The rules are basically the same – consult the random dungeon generator in the Dungeon Master’s Guide and make a map out of it. To make things simple, I limit myself to a 10×6 page, and if a room or passage doesn’t make sense …
I’m always of two minds about homebrew rules for D&D. On the one hand, the designers had a specific playstyle in mind to showcase 5E’s mechanics, and tampering with them is flying in the face of their design. On the other hand, break all the rules! Seriously though, I do employ a few homebrew rules …
