You may not know it, but Robert Schwalb is a quiet giant in the pen & paper gaming industry. He has designed content for more gaming companies than you may realize, and was one of the early architects of the D&D's latest edition. He is currently running a Kickstarter for a new game he designed called Shadow of the Demon Lord. I have personally played this game, read a decent amount of its content, and wholeheartedly believe it is a road-map for quick, efficient rules for rapid provisioning of tabletop gaming content.

Check it out, and please consider supporting it. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Adventure-writing has always been a part of my blood from the beginning, and I love to keep up the craft as time permits. One idea I came up with is a shared-experience where I take tiered responses from the community that will help inform the actual adventure.

Head over to the General RPG forum and look for the stickies as they relate to this adventure. These will come and go fairly quickly ...
