D&D Art Stream Collection – January 2022
If you follow Birch + Bat on social media, you’ve likely seen my posts all this past month about Rebecca’s Sunday Stream. It’s something new I’m working on in order to get back into art and back into putting myself out there on the internet. More than a year ago I shut down all my…
GameJoy: GM Advice: Spelljammer but it’s 2022 (Part 2)
In part one of this blog series I detailed the PC’s in my impromptu Spelljammer campaign who’d be adventuring across wild space. To be honest, updating and adapting the rules of Spelljammer using D&D 5e and Weird on the Waves took longer than expected. It lives as a collection of pen scribbles on sticky notes…
GameJoy: Returning to the Waves (Weird on the Waves is now FREE!)
Weird on the Waves was originally published in May 2020, around the beginning of the pandemic. To date it’s the biggest set of game rules and adventures I’ve ever published at a whopping 224 pages.

GameJoy: GM Advice: Spelljammer but it’s 2021 (Part 1)
Back in early October this year we received a new Unearthed Arcana playtest PDF from Wizards of the Coast. ‘Travellers of the Multiverse’ offered up some deep cut character options not seen since 2nd edition in the early 90’s, all of them races from different parts of D&D’s multiverse of different worlds and campaigns settings….
GameJoy: GM Advice: Make Your Own Snail Races!
The Wild Beyond The Witchlight has rekindled the crafty DM spark in me, and I’ve found myself once again wanting to draw handmade maps and make miniatures and terrain for play. The Witchlight Carnival is full of possibility for miniature scale set pieces, but the one that caught my attention first was giant snail racing. The…
GameJoy: D&D DM Screen: Dungeon Kit Impressions
A week ago we received the D&D Dungeon Master’s Screen: Dungeon Kit for review. This is the sister product to last year’s DM Screen: Wilderness Kit, and contains a lot of the same tools and cards, but this time suited to dungeon exploration. Inside the kit is a cardstock card box as well as cardstock…
