Oh, the places we'll go...
Behold the Summer 2023 cohort for our Write Your Own TTRPG Adventure course! 17 out of 20 participants have opted to share their journey on the blog, and we’re beyond excited to show them off and watch them publish their beautiful adventures.
Please take a look at our participants, give them a follow, and watch them hit the scene with their new publications this fall. Highlighted participants are listed in alphabetical order.
Cassie Butler
she / they
Cassie plans to explore the concept of using TTRPGs as part of a self-discovery and wellness journey.
Catherine Barson Eastis
she / her
Welcome to The Plastered Possum, a family-owned and operated tavern with the best brunch in the reals — so good, that fights used to break out waiting for a table!
These scuffles became so frequent, that management said to take it outside — to the arena! And thus The Plastered Possum’s annual city-wide Brunch n’ Brawl was born. With breakfast-themed stage names, signature moves, and silly costumes, adventuring parties from all over scramble for victory, accolades, and 365 days of syrup-soaked, bacon-smothered gluttony.
Will your party order up? Fry the competition? Or end up with egg on their face? Find out in this 5th-ed compatible OGL adventure meets cookbook!
Cher Davis
she / her
Cher is currently working on world-building for her own homebrew campaign setting, which will reflect themes of heroism, liberation, and world-affecting events.
Her goals in completing this program are to connect with peers and mentors who can help her discover the best ways to execute the story of my world with as much diversity inclusion, ability inclusion, and gender affirmation as possible.
Cher wants to learn how to create a solid production team, understand the logistics/business end of creating/producing TTRPGs, and create an effective crowdfunding campaign to bring her campaign to market and help her team get compensated properly for their work.
Jacqueline Goldblatt
she / her
Imagine if the entirety of one’s life experiences, the sum total of their knowledge, skills, and memories blossomed from the ground as a crystal flower upon their death. This is reality within the kingdom of Doryanthes, where these valuable blooms, known as Crystallum are prized above all else. But every rose has its thorns, and outsiders would do well to know that even in a land of beauty, danger is never far behind.
Jacqueline’s (as-of-now unnamed) adventure, which will hopefully stay at around 6,000 words, will guide your adventurers through a kingdom of crystal blooms and thorny paths filled with peril.
Are you ready to explore Doryanthes?
Jordan Ramée
he / him
Having completed your sentence in an underground prison, you and your fellow inmates are being transported across a sea of lava back to civilization.
But it seems like the cavern is not done with you.
A killer stalks the ship, murdering prisoners one by one. And an evasive fire spirit is trying to reclaim what rightfully belongs to them by whatever means necessary. If you and your fellow inmates wish to be free, you’ll have to work together to uncover long-forgotten secrets hidden beneath the molten waves and fight to defend the ship.
Kayla Rosario
she / her
Eldritch horror meets Afro and Caribbean mythology in my premier one-shot adventure.
Step into a land of spirits, mermaids, and mysticism in a tropical sea setting that is equal parts eerie, perilous, and wondrous. I create games to bring new meaning to a fantasy setting.
Kayla Rosario creates games as a love letter to those who want to see themselves represented in the gameplay world as the default, not an outlier, for the first time. She creates games for the Culture.
Mike Mardis
he / him
The party comes upon a secluded town, and everyone seems super friendly – suspiciously so.
The party will soon discover that a Witch has been capturing and corrupting Intellect Devourers to serve her plan of dominating the town and eventually more.
Make has lots of ideas about a house party with drinking games (to try to get them drunk so they’re easier pickins). And a short dungeon crawl at the house party to find where the Witch has the IDs caged and an entrance to the Underdark.
Rek It, Raven!
They / She / Any
It’s 2078, and the world as it was once known has been sundered. The remnants of humanity have been fractured and forced underground to live their lives in bunkers and civilizations deep within the Earth’s crust.
How will you navigate these trying times on the cusp of extinction by forces both human and supernatural?
Robert Sharp
he / him
An insane, neon, steampunk wizard, a deadly tower, and a door that disappeared behind you. It seems your only way out is to ascend the tower, but what horrors, riddles, and mysteries await you on the floors above?
Sergio Hernandez
he / him
The party is charged with protecting and escorting journalist Lee Thomas who has just escaped from prison after being unjustly held by the king for exposing the monarch’s greed and fraud. What should be a simple bodyguards-for-hire job proves to be decidedly not simple since everyone – from the king’s guard to mercenaries looking to collect on the bounty — is on the lookout for Thomas and won’t think twice about putting down some random rogue or wizard who stands in their way.
Whitney MadameWench Mardis
she / her
Whitney combines her love of D&D, nature, politics, and history to create a shenanigans-filled one-shot set in the fantastical world of modern US National Parks.
Dungeon crawl your way through a natural wonderland full of magical mischief, shenanigans, and quite a few wild carnivorous goats.
