This year at the Faire was so chaotic we didn't get a full family picture. Perhaps later in the season. But the fday was so full of joy. Love spending Faire with my favorite Barbarians, Rogues, Rangers, Pirates, Bards. This is my LA family. Love you.
@tstashwick is asked about how to convince people to play like ProgCore. Which, by the way, you can now own a limited edition copy of the book that is being sold (link in Todd's bio). Be one of the first to get a full peak at the wonder, mystery and danger that lies within those pages. As someone who's already read it, it's pretty good đź‘Ś I'm excited to start crafting my own story with it.
The link is live! If you wanted the GaryCon special edition of the @progcorefantasy Dark Age of Theer book get it while it’s hot! Very limited supply. Link in bio!
So @christoffvisscher and the alchemists at @cantripcandles outdid themselves. The @progcorefantasy Dark Age of Theer candle exceeded what I hoped it would be.
When I sat down with Christoff he asked me what was the story of the candle that I wanted to have. I told him it’s that moment before the party heads out of the mountains. They just finished breakfast. They doused the fire. The Ranger has one last pipe smoke and she’s looking out at the mist among the trees on the Cool overcast day. The smell of firesmoke, wet earth, and pipe weed. That moment before they load the horses up to venture ahead on the adventure. There’s comfort and anticipation. Both nostalgia and the promise of something new. ProgCore.
I wanted the label to evoke those tri-tone old-school modules from the early 80s. And @igniheart knew the assignment.
so this candle has been made exclusively for our project and will be available to backers, and don’t worry if you didn’t add it on originally you will be able to during fulfillment.
With notes of spruce, tobacco, firewood, our and dirt, it is both cool and warm at the same time. I can’t wait for this to ignite your senses and your imagination. Lighting up your game table.
Join me Saturday morning 8am PT on my coffee chat live with my special guest @thearcanelibrary creator of TTRPG phenomenon, old school delicious, Shadowdark, Kelsey Dionne! We are going to talk all things nerdy. So @progcorefantasy #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #shadowdark

Spreading the gospel of @progcorefantasy at @wondercon yesterday as @davidnett moderated myself @drdreapsychology@b_ward028 and @stashwickcharity (in her first, and definitely not her last, Comic-Con panel) we extolled the joys of living in that dark fantasy vibe of the late 70s early 80s but without all of the problematic baggage. The wonder mystery in danger of the Dark Age of Theer and why gaming and stories like these are important for a modern player and audience. Wanna know more? Go to
Big thanks to @thefilmgirlproject for the pics!
Team - if you happen to be at WonderCon in Anaheim tomorrow, we've got a couple of panels going, sponsored by HJF & ProgCore Fantasy.
4:30PM Room 300C - Next Gen Nerds — What happens when big nerds raise little nerds? With @tstashwick , @geekchristy , @barbrajdillon , @puffpiece , & @reytheteacher
7:00PM Room North 151 - ProgCore - The TTRPG world is changing, abuzz about a return to “old school gaming.” But what does that even mean in the modern age of roleplaying games? With @drdreapsychology , @jasoncharlesmiller , Todd Stashwick @b_ward028 , & @stashwickcharity
Come and play with us! We'll also have a few copies of our Dark Age of Theer: GaryCon Special Limited Edition (limited to 150 signed & numbered copies) with us for sale around the panels. There are only a few dozen of these left!
