REVIEW: Six Paths
Well-written and beautifully presented. Six Paths discusses gender, sex, and sexuality with nuance and care. What drew me most in this supplement is the integration of gender with the Orlanthi religion. Six Paths goes above-and-beyond other LGBT-advocacy publications by entwining its material with established lore of the setting. This is well-developed through a collection of … Continue reading REVIEW: Six Paths

REVIEW: The Armies & Enemies of Dragon Pass
I originally posted this review over on my Facebook page, but decided to repost it on the blog as well upon a friend's suggestion—easier for posterity to find than through FB. If you think A&E sounds interesting, it's available over on the Jonstown Compendium. (Oh, and I am still working on that yearly round-up. Hopefully … Continue reading REVIEW: The Armies & Enemies of Dragon Pass
An End to MOTM
Well, yet again I've neglected the blog! This time around I have two Monster of the Month (or MOTM) releases to discuss, and also the related larger news indicated in the title—why I've decided to stop creating monthly releases on the Jonstown Compendium.

The Salt Man is … Continue reading The Salt Man — MOTM #22

Sylthi—Sessions Four & Five
It's been several months, but we've managed to get my nascent RuneQuest campaign playtesting material in Esrolia running once again! "Real"-life scheduling complications forced us to go on a hiatus, but hopefully lives have settled back down, and we can return to gaming consistently. This series of blog posts publicly records our campaign exploring ideas, … Continue reading Sylthi—Sessions Four & Five
