A glowing pink liquid cascades in small streams down the hillside, collecting in pools in the upturned cups of giant webcaps. The fungi seem to quiver in delight as the luminous water spills over their edges.

Before I stop posting on this app, I'd like to use its power for good: hiring human artists!
In 2025, I'll be commissioning 200+ Mistborn illustrations for the #CosmereRPG. We could especially use more map artists!
See here for rates and details:

As a reward for their valiant efforts, the adventuring party are awarded a keep just outside the city limits. Its high walls, generous size, and clifftop location make it an ideal home-base for any group of would-be heroes. There is just one small problem, it’s haunted.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.
Just got a very cool package in the post!
The artwork is amazing, as expected following the 2024 PHB.
Can't wait to dig in, I'm most excited about the new Bastions!
Thanks so much @Wizards_DnD

An update regarding our presence on this platform.
Please see our bio for new ways to enjoy the hobby with us.
ALT The team at Kobold Press is disappointed in the lack of user advocacy here on X (formerly Twitter) and is frustrated by X’s recent announcement of policy changes surrounding AI. A few weeks ago we pledged to keep the humanity in our hobby; that pledge was a promise to maintain a hard stance against generative AI. Today we are putting that pledge into action. Going forward we will be posting on X only for major company announcements, product launches, and similar updates. We will stop including media in our posts and will remove media from our profile to ensure we are not contributing to AI program development.

As promised, more words:
You can also find me both on🦋(same username) and LinkedIn (see link in comments).
Unfortunately, I was informed today that my position on @Wizards_DnD has been impacted as part of a corporate re-organization. I have been laid off.
More words will come later, for now I am just heartbroken.
Since the city’s founding, it has been ruled by the Dorran dynasty. For most of their history, there has been peace and content within the empire. Through trade and negotiations, the city of Dorran has grown fast and strong, and their external enemies have been kept at bay.
Hello travelers! For my latest TC Modern battlemap, we've got the Local Pub! This pub is filled with seating for folks from all walks of life with a huge central bar, pool table, lots of outside seating, and plenty of dark corners to hide away for seedy meetings to occur.
If you've wondered why creators have been a lot softer than you might expect on Wizards since the OGL nonsense, Dixon and the work he did in creator outreach was a huge part of that.
It's mind boggling that @Wizards_DnD would let him go, and hints at a very concerning direction.

Dixon is one of ~5 people at Wizards who gave me hope that the company would listen to community feedback and do the right thing.
He is genuine, he is intentional, and he cares deeply about the creators he works with. If you're looking for a new creator relations pro - hire him.

Another 'corporate restructure' - another great person let go from Wizards.
WotC's strength comes from the passion I saw within its offices, and it is disappointing to see them constantly removing these passionate individuals for higher profit margins. Dixon deserved better.

This is absolutely absurd. Dixon was a force in helping restore some sense of trust after the OGL. Absolutely boneheaded decision.
