Hi EveryoneI have always wanted to be as honest as I can with all my patrons and supporters and this continues with this post.I am going to have to pause this account for at least a couple of months as I have recently been diagnosed with cancer and will (at least in the short-term) not be able to focus enough on my wri...

5-Room Dungeon

Hi Everyone!Hope you had a great weekend. I have to cut some content from July's issue of the zine. One of the articles I will be cutting is a 5-Room Dungeon. I was wondering if this is something you would like to see as a seperate mini-zine just for Patrons? (Assuming time allows).Thoughts?

July's issue will be all about combat and I thought I would share with my patrons the cover I am working on. Just a WIP but the general feel is there. Amazing art by Dean Spencer.Thanks, and happy gaming.-Russ

d8 Monthly is Getting a Name Change

Hey AllDue to copyright issues, I need to change the name of my zine. I was originally going to call the zine d12 Monthly, so I might just stick with that. It's annoying but not a huge deal.This will be starting with the next issue.As always, happy gaming!-Russ

The Death Issue Grows!

Hey AllI have decided to make the next issue - Issue 2 - bigger than first planned.I am doing this for a couple of reason.One deals with putting everything I want into it, but also because I am going to try and get this one up on DriveThuRPG as a print-on-demand product and you need an 18 page minimum to do this.It is ...

Another Preview for Issue 2

In the last post I mentioned how this issue would be a little different from the previous two as it would contain more thought-provoking articles.Well, this is true, but there are some practical tables and rules included in the issue as well.I have included rules for giving characters (and even Big Bads) a significant ...

Another Sneak Preview

I hope everyone is well. Issue 2 is coming along nicely and after some layout headaches, I am happy with what I have.This issue will probably be more article-focused than the previous two issues, which were, I think, more immediately practical. But I am hoping the articles will stimulate your creative juices.I have two...

Up and Coming

As mentioned in a previous post, I am already hard at work on Issue 2, which is all about Death. I put a poll up on Twitter asking fellow gamers if they liked the old school "save or die" mechanic and it seems so far that about 90% of people either like it sometimes or loves it.Having grown up wih it, I see it ...
