| What I Would Change In Gaming | Posted: Wed, 11 Jul 19:24:08 | ||
| Blogs, community, gaming | |||
| I’m not sure where to start this post, because it was inspired by an interview question. On the surface, the interviewer’s question sounds simple: What would I change in gaming? Well, after several minutes I realized the volume of what I’d want to change would not fit in a paragraph. Instead, I’m writing this post […] Read Comments | |||

 "I dream under the sea, and I see faces, bloated faces with bulging eyes. They remind me of people I knew as a boy, half-drowned, but not dead." Silas shivered, but not from the chill gusts blowing through the open door. Pointed teeth grinned, webbed hands reaching for him, glowing eyes in the darkness… He couldn’t tell Martin those details, of course. Some things you couldn't say aloud if you wanted to stay out of the madhouse.

| Onyx Path Publishing and DriveThruRPG Launch “Slarecian Vault” for Scarred Lands | Posted: Thu, 03 May 18:18:50 | ||
| Features, drivethrurpg, dungeons & dragons | |||
 Onyx Path Publishing is partnering with DriveThruRPG to allow independent content creators to publish material in the Slarecian Vault utilizing the OGL for both Pathfinder and Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition editions of existing and future Scarred Lands books produced by Onyx Path.
A world known to its inhabitants as Scarn, the Scarred Lands is a place of dynamic heroism, supreme villainy, and incalculable magic. Torn and twisted by battles between the titans and their children, the young gods —fought largely by monstrous titanspawn pitted against humans, elves, dwarves, and other “divine races” — Scarn is a world still wounded deeply by the Divine War that took place less than two centuries ago.
"Scarred Lands is a gem of a setting that's flush with opportunities for great storytelling, adventuring, and good, old-fashioned monster hunting," says Scarred Lands developer, Monica Valentinelli. "With this setting, there's an unlimited potential for creators to explore Scarn by offering new classes, races, and more!"Read Comments | |||
