Welcome to the The Tale of Hunter’s Bay, an original audio drama podcast inspired by the folklore fantasy roleplaying game, Errant Deeds: Tall Tales in the Blackwood [available on DriveThruRPG and Itch.io]. Hear the tale of how bold and cunning errants helped a desperate village reclaim its bygone dignity. Revel in their triumphs and mourn […]
The Mythic Gazetteer is pleased to announce our next product, Errant Deeds: Tall Tales in the Blackwood! Once, there were bold Errants who took up revolutionary arms in the beguiling wilds of a folklore forest. They braved duels, courted romance, and pursued their quarry in fields and noble courts alike. They sought power through high magic and fair […]
It’s been a full year since our first product, The Blackwood Errantry Codex, hit the digital shelves of DriveThruRPG, and two full years since this website (and our business) got off the ground! Thanks to everyone who’s given us a little of your time and/or money in these early years. Your support means the world […]
Politics is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group. That doesn’t sound scary or objectionable. You know what that sounds like to me? The exact experience of playing a roleplaying game. Friend and fellow designer Eric Simon has a great post up over on his blog: All Games are […]
One year ago today, The Blackwood Errantry Codex Kickstarter campaign came to a close. What an adventure it’s been! Producing the book was a learning experience but we encountered very few meddlesome elves on our path to publication. Working with artists, designers, and writers in the RPG community was a sincere pleasure. Interacting with backers […]

I think small RPG publishers are more effective when they work together, so […]
It’s Earth Day! To any of you who spend time on our planet: make it a good one! The Blackwood Errantry Codex is the Deal of the Day on DriveThruRPG today! The PDF is 60% off, so if you haven’t picked up the game yet then you’ve found the best possible time to do so. […]
Jared Rascher started a conversation over in the Misdirected Mark G+ community about mechanizing holidays in RPGs. Holidays play a big part in The Blackwood Errantry Codex (and in life in the actual middle ages). In fact, they play a big enough part in The Blackwood that I figured I’d have too much to say […]
When I designed the Fighting Schools setting rule for The Blackwood Errantry Codex, I had a couple goals in mind beyond “keep it fast! furious! and fun!” More than anything, I wanted to make it a system where a player could build their own martial style from a few component parts. I made a point […]
It’s been a busy few months over here! I got married and went on a honeymoon, I’ve been hosting a new podcast, Jianghu Hustle (more on that in a later post, probably), and I’m working to get our first products of the year ready to go. That includes a couple maps and our first supplment for […]
