NEWSLETTER FOR ADVENTURERS OF FANTASTIC REALMS

 Scroll XXIV
Summer has arrived with a wave of heat in the Great Plains. Well, at least the nonstop storms
have finally taken a break. Here are some updates/thoughts.

YouTube: My channel continues to grow, with my monster videos still being the most popular. I
LOVE monsters, though I dearly miss making narrated adventures. My Land of Dreams and
Nightmares campaign is awesome as ever, and the following seems to have cracked 1,000!
While by no means a massive livestream following, its pretty incredible to think about.
Maps: I intend to improve the dungeon maps I release on my Patreon page. I want them to be
friendlier to printing at home on regular-sized paper, and I want to get better at the art style.
Books: My fantasy novel series is progressing more and more. I really hope to be finished with
the 4th draft of books 1 and 2 by the end of the year. The pace is not as fast as I would like,
but I feel really good about the writing itself. I'm currently developing some sections in which
one of the main characters, Vrothyk, is
learning how to seduce elven women,
which relates to both his personal
quest of facing bridgekeeper hags AND
coming to terms with the wounds from
a past romance.
New Project: Yes, I've got a new secret
project ;) It is D&D-related and has to do
with spicing up a part of the game that
can sometimes be boring or lacking.

If nothing saves us from death, at least

love should save us from life
—Pablo Neruda
