Just posted the last of my 10-part creator commentary track on Places by the Way, in which I pick my own brain about the most recent modules, Tomb Raiders of Orek and Into the Royal Tombs. If you want to see more bits of my brain picked out for display, subscribe to my Substack blog!

Starting yesterday and continuing on for the next few weeks, I am posting some design diary-type stuff about Places by the Way, Ramen Sandwich Press' series of location modules compatible with D&D 5E. Join me as I look back on the last 6 years of my journey through RPG writing and publishing!

In preparing to relaunch my blog on Substack, I combed through my hard drive for stuff I had written and put into deep storage, either because I never got around to finishing it or because I couldn’t find anyone who would pay me to publish it. There was a lot of it. Quite a lot of it. Some of it...

It's not a new blog, but it is a new blog on Substack. After blogging off and on for the last 15 years or so, most recently on the Ramen Sandwich Press website, I have decided to take "I Think We've Been Playing It Wrong" to the Substack platform. As always, I plan to focus on playing games and...

If you missed the Kickstarter, the Backerkit store is now open — but only until August 5. You can get any and all of the rewards offered in the Kickstarter campaign, including a hardcover copy, which will remain exclusive to crowdfunding backers!

Sorry to disappoint you. ;)

Before I started self-publishing, I freelanced for over 15 years. I was never able to set my own rate. The publisher offered what they could afford to pay, and there was never really any room to negotiate. I worked for some name-brand publishers from about 2000-2015 and never settled for less...

Week 1 is almost over and we are almost 2/3 of the way to funding. Let’s get this over with and put it over the top!

Ramen Sandwich Press is back on Kickstarter with Severed Heads and Broken Blades, a compact, yet flavorful system for pumping up critical hits and fumbles in fantasy RPG combat. It's almost all tables, the results are self-explanatory and the system should fit seamlessly into your D&D 5E or...

Just a couple of days left in the campaign! Don't miss out ton the pre-order discounts!

And we're funded! Thanks to everyone who has backed us so far, and who will back us in the three weeks left in the campaign!

The company itself does not lose money when the share price tanks. The money is lost (and they're paper losses, until someone sells for less than the purchase price) by the shareholders. In Hasbro's case, it seems that the company is almost 90% owned by mutual funds and other institutional...

Ramen Sandwich Press is back on Kickstarter and coming back to Pathfinder with two more location modules in our Found by the Way series: Path to Orek and Path to the Royal Tombs. They're set in the same place and among related characters, so you can run them as a linked pair as well as...

The Kickstarter is over, and thank you to everyone who backed it! The party continues at Backerkit, so if you missed out it's not too late to get the pre-order discount on Tomb Raiders of Orek and Into the Royal Tombs — plus markdowns on everything in our catalogue, as well some items of...

While everyone is having fun at GenCon, we're hard at work getting Places by the Way #12: Into the Royal Tombs ready for layout. Such is the life of an indie designer/publisher. The good news is that we expect to get it into layout shortly after the Kickstarter campaign ends a week from today...

We're funded! Less than halfway through the campaign, and we hit our mark. Thank you to all of our backers to date, and there's still time left to get in on the fun and plenty of room in the bandwagon! Work on both modules progresses nicely. The manuscript for Places by the Way #11: Tomb...

Ramen Sandwich Press is back on Kickstarter with two more Places by the Way location modules, compatible with D&D 5E: Tomb Raiders of Orek and Into the Royal Tombs. They can be run in conjunction, with the latter as sequel to the former, or by themselves. Loosely inspired by the ancient Egyptian...

Just posted a progress report on The Book of Hidden Paths to the Kickstarter campaign updates. TLDR; it went into layout just before Christmas, so we're making progress. There are pics showing that I went over the manuscript the old-fashioned way, poring over a double-spaced printout with red...

Thank you to everyone who helped us across the finish line on Kickstarter. We made it! If you missed out on the Kickstarter campaign, we just opened a Backerkit pre-order store where you can get the same pre-order discounts in Book of Hidden Paths. We'll keep it open until the end of the year...
