Happy September! Scope creep done got me, so the demon book isn't ready ready (needs all the cults, some flavory bits, balancing tweaks, etc), but it's in a usable state right now so I'm gonna sneakily drop it in here for anyone who wants to use it now.

Howl To Ruin - The Book of Demons

Upcoming in September: I'm trying to finally get all my Cobramode monster work updated with art and lore in a way that works with the rest of the catalog while preserving their intended groupings. There's a load of cool stuff I've done with them, and hopefully this will make it more usable than just an unfamiliar name and an unexplained stat block.

Beyond That: I've realized that the daily post schedule is pushing me to only take on tasks I can finish in a day, so I think that starting in October I'm gonna switch to a weekly digest style. You'll still get ~7-10 new monsters a week, but hopefully this will help me tackle more things that have been hard to squeeze into the daily schedule.

Collaborations:

Doomed Forgotten Realms: Reign of Rot (the name changed) finally came out on DMsGuild and looks cool as hell, either as an add-on to Out of the Abyss or a standalone fungal underdark adventure. I worked with Dan Kahn (of the Monster Weaknesses series) and Scott McClintock (of the Rise of Vecna series) on it, though I mostly just contributed monsters, proofreading, and a little bit of encounter design. You've already got all the monsters in here, but it's well worth a look regardless. Here's the product page for more details, and here's a discount code that lets you pick it up for 8 bucks.

The adventure I'm working is currently in a state of mild disaster, but I have hope that the new post schedule will give me time to get it to a level I'm actually happy with.
