There is a lot of room for improvement for the StormShock mailing list, and there is an art and science to producing a great mailing list. I’d like to read up on modern best practices in creating an effective mailing list and growing my audience.

My idea for the next iteration of Dark Saga Rules is that it will be more of an RPG for writers with a focus on storytelling. With this kind of focus, there is no longer any need for game mechanics like hit points or character levels. Ultimately, Dark Saga Rules will be more of a framework for developing an epic story than a traditional TTRPG.

It’s 200 years after an apocalypse of hellfire. A few survivors eke out a dangerous living in the desolate landscape. Undead roam by night, commanded by powerful intelligent undead lords… this is a dangerous campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons game.

With this project, I aim to create an easy-to-use reference guide that will allow DMs to quickly run fun and interesting encounters that bring out the many nuances of the Forgotten Realms and its lore.

Role playing games (RPGs) and stories are all about the characters. The characters make or break a story, and a strong character can make a story memorable and enduring. This project is for an app or book of tables that allow the DM to quickly generate NPCs or villains.

While the Dungeons & Dragons core rulebooks provide a lot of information, there are also infinite ways they could be expanded upon. It would be fun to choose a chapter or subchapter from one of the core rulebooks and really expand upon it. Dungeon Masters and players who enjoy the particular aspect of the rules would find such expansions very useful.
