I just started a #TTRPG newsletter. I’ll be writing designer diaries and announcements for my games, what inspires my design and play styles, and reviews of indie/small press games. Mostly, it’s something to connect with and support players and designers. monarcwriter.substack.com

This week’s MonarcWriter newsletter is a review of Unspeakable Gate, the new artifact sculpting game from @PeachGardenRPGs. Read the review, then check out the game! open.substack.com/pub/monarcwrit…

New MonarcWriter newsletter has been published! Just in time for Halloween, I reflect on my love of the #Ravenloft setting and delve into the creation of my Van Richten’s Case Files adventures! open.substack.com/pub/monarcwrit…

@TTRPGkids @AvasFantasymaps @BlinkingBirch It was a pleasure to write the review! I really do enjoy your Train games, and with Halloween around the corner, it was a perfect time to review Fall Fright Express.

@MonarcWriter @AvasFantasymaps @BlinkingBirch This is awesome!! Great post, and THANK YOU for reviewing The Fall Fright Express!!! I do a lot of reviews, but don't see many for my own material, so I can't explain how great this feels 😁
