As I have mentioned previously, I will be partaking in the Dungeon23 challenge.
This blog post will be where I post my updates and achievements as I go along.
Dungeon23 Is Happening
I have decided to do #Dungeon23.
If you are unfamiliar, #Dungeon23 is the brainchild of Sean McCoy who has set a challenge of building a dungeon area each day of 2023 with the goal of having a mega-dungeon by the end of the year.
Five 1st-Level Spells In D&D Better Than Magic Missile
In Dungeons & Dragons, wizards always seem to go for the flashy, damage-inducing spells.
But there are other spells that are way more effective (in various situation), and I feel, are way better than those flashy spells.
I want to try and expand your thinking when it comes to choosing your wizard’s spells. Or, to help you make do with the ones you randomly rolled.

Spellcasting Laws In Myrbridge
In my blog post on how governments could react to spellcasting and spellcasters, I spoke about how Nations would view and regulate spell schools and casters, in general.
In this post, I want to give an example from my own campaign world on how to apply laws for spellcasting by showcasing how the city-state of Myrbridge handles this.

Issue 4 is covers the Bloodied Grove. It features a once beautiful druid’s grove that has been corrupted by the Cult of the Bloodied Hand – one that is hell-bent on enacting a ritual that will awaken a long-dormant evil. But there is more to this cult than first meets the eye.
Two Year Plan For d12 Monthly And YUMDM
The next two years will be, hopefully, growth years for YUDM, my zines, and the industry as a whole.
I wanted to let you know what I have planned as a way of keeping you informed, but to also hold myself to account.
NOTE: While these plans are written down and mapped out, they may (and probably will) change in some aspects – especially given we live in uncertain times.

Issue 16 of my Dungeons and Dragons zine is out!
