This is technically for a (as-of-yet unpublished) "Star Trek" hack of Cairn, but it's Cairn nonetheless so I'm sharing it here :)

Hopefully it's fun and interesting to run! (I did playtest it twice, so I'm pretty sure it's reasonably fun)
Got my Appendix N Jam entry finished and published last night! It's a Cairn-compatible Sci-fi forestcrawl inspired by Star Trek, Samuel Delany (the shuttlecraft is actually an homage to and old cover for Delany's Nova), and Ursula K. Le Guin.
Jam page is here, and Community Copies are available for the duration of the Jam :)
This would also slot pretty decently into Mothership if you're so inclined.
I draw in a couple of styles. I really like drawing monsters! DM me on here for details!
First two images are the most recent, next two are from when I first started back in January 2025. I want to start trying multi-figure, and if you have any recommendations on that problem, please point me too it.
This week's unofficial theme is Birds.
New monsters with original art, now with Signs. I included a small region at the end of the post as well!
Despite appearing in the OG Monster Manual (and being the BEST ENTRY IN THE ENTIRE BOOK), I was appalled by the lack of art of Giant Beavers for players to fight, slay, negotiate with, and (mostly importantly) fear. So, if for some reason you want to throw giant beavers at your players, here you go. We need more Giant Beaver adventures, and Giant Beaver art!

Wrote up some new monsters, hope folks can get some use out of 'em.
Howdy folks, did a little bit of work to adapt Sacrebleu for Cairn. Thought you might find it useful.
Running this in Cairn. Feel free to use it in your home games.
I added a secret cavern and burial sight full of cockroach-man-zombie-mummies behind the goblin burrow, to make the dungeon a little bit more interconnected. Added secret doors everywhere, but the goblins will still shoot you with rifle.
Here's a link to the adventure on drivethru rpg. Not an ad, I just think it's neat. You'll need that module to run this dungeon as (mostly) intended anyways.
Been working on my dungeon map. May end up using this for something I publish later, but figured folks could always use more free dungeons to mess around with. So here you go!
This is a hideout for Rum and Gun Runners (smugglers) that conceals an (unknown to them) lair of a dead alchemist. Leaving up the details (stat blocks and such) to y'all, but the annotated version has what I'm doing with it!
A little bit 5E-coded here, but I talk about some OSR stuff as well! Plus it's part of the Randomness blogwagon
Mister Wawaron used to be a man, that's at least the rumor. It's said he had such an anxiety for holding onto wealth that he'd break out into a sweat at the thought of losing it. So intense were these sweating episodes that one day he woke up to find his skin permanently moist: he had been turned into an 8-foot tall, 500 pound bullfrog. Now if anyone threatened to take his money, he could deal with them himself.
That's the rumor, at least. Either that, or magic.
He prefers his house to be extremely humid.
Been really inspired by the Louisiana bayou and New Orleans lately, and I just have a billion ideas.
It's called The Lurch because it lurches when it runs. The lore of The Lurch is that an evil man killed a unicorn, and brought its corpse back to town to brag. The townsfolk, horrified that the spirits of the swamp would punish the town for killing a unicorn, knocked the man out, sewed him into the unicorn's stomach as justice (for the man planned to eat the unicorn), and threw him back into the swamp. Unfortunately, this did not goes as planned, as now the spirit of the man lives on in The Lurch, an amalgam of animals it slaughters through suffocation and drowning.
This is definitely the edgiest thing I have ever written lol.
Running this for some friends soon! One of the things I have been doing for this campaign go-around is making all of the maps doodle-inspired, to give a really light-hearted and casual vibe. Just a lot of a fighting monsters :^)
Made this for my home game, thought some of you might get some use out of this. I wanted to do a version of this map that gave the vibe of a battlemap drawn doodled in a notebook (as I did a lot when I was in highschool). Plus, I wanted a version of the map that could actually align with a VTT grid if I really wanted to (roughly 28x38, you may need to finagle these)
Ship is intended to be 80 feet from stern to the very end of the prow. But do whatever you want with it!
