@mcnees In short: write one dungeon room every day. Each month is a level, so by the end of the year you have a mega-dungeon!

Okay, who wants to see a thread of my #Dungeon23 rooms as I write them over the next year?

@mcnees Or something they would never type, even if they knew. “BidenIsAGreatPresident”

Do you think that Batman ever stayed home from crime fighting due to a wind advisory

@mcnees @bstacey @skye @AstroKatie Yes, thank you!

I can’t do $500/month like The Oatmeal, but I do support my Mastodon server on Patreon and encourage everyone who can to chip in a few dollars to yours.

🎵Toss a coin to your server🎵

Okay, it's 8:02 PM EST. Here's a test: please reply to this message when you see it! (If tons of people already have, please don't)

It suddenly occurred to me that the new Twitter Blue logo looked very familiar.

@mcnees thank you for the shoutout!

@AstroKatie thank you!

Did a very short blog post about my upcoming book on "Invisibility" being recognized in Publisher's Weekly! https://skullsinthestars.com/2022/12/08/invisibility-recognized-in-publishers-weekly/

@mcnees One classic "slavers" module and an old obscure RPG I'd never heard of before

Feeling a bit sad so ordered some weird old school RPG stuff.

It is almost impossible to talk about this module without giving major spoilers. This normally wouldn't be an issue, but Saltmarsh is still in use today, as Ghosts of Saltmarsh was released for 5e in 2019, revamping the adventure for the modern system.

Okay, let's do a spoiler-laden #OldSchoolDungeonsAndDragons thread: U1: The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (1981), by Dave J. Browne with Don Turnbull!

The adventure is broken into two parts: in the first part, the players visit the coastal town of Saltmarsh, and learn of the nearby house of a sinister alchemist that is supposedly haunted. So the PCs are tasked with investigating the strange lights seen there.

Compare this with the 2019 revision Ghosts of Saltmarsh, which gives a full-color map of the town, with details descriptions of locations!

Perhaps the most surprising thing about this adventure: almost no description of the Town of Saltmarsh is given! In what may be considered genius or madness, the authors leave it up to the Dungeon Master to fill in key details of the settlement.
