Thanks to everyone who made it out today! Here are a few things we talked about: - An post with an excellent comment string by @Doug Peterman about play-by-post games (PBP games): skool.com/game-masters-laboratory/pbp?p=4b43a12f - A live-game events company in Pittsburgh that connects players and DMs at local spots: dungeonsndrafts.com/areaEvents/default - @Elizabeth Roberts 's new company for connecting local Pittsburgh players, DMs, and games: QuestYinzGames.com - @Jordan Peacock runs 10 paid games a week - for those of you looking to go semi-pro or pro, it might be worth checking out how he does it: linktr.ee/sortilege - A resources for quickly building balanced encounters: freshcutgrass.app - The Sablewood intro adventure for Daggerhear teaches the GM as well as the players as you go: daggerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Sablewood-05-20-25.pdf - People will use DnD 5e to run anything... why?? For example: sw5e.com/

Glad to meet folks here. Breakout Con starts tomorrow, I'll be running 4 sessions of Daggerheart there; if you're there, come say hi! Typically however, I'm based in Minneapolis and I'm a full-time GM, running 7-10 campaigns and various one-shots/etc. I'm the mostly-not D&D guy; currently I've been enjoying running things like Good Society, Vampire: the Masquerade, Legend of the Five Rings, Ars Magica, Daggerheart, and the D&D I have been running has been Monte Cook's Ptolus and the Historica Arcanum: City of Crescent. Through Sortilege, my company, I've also done various kinds of bespoke private client game design work, and currently I'm working on some software tools that I hope to release later this year. Got to join the session -1 for some kind of Blades in the Dark west marches prep.
