For the last post of this year we offer you... locusts! The swarms are found at least on level 4 of the abbey and perhaps the larger ones reside deeper still. Who knows? (I do)
I'd like to thank everyone for bearing with us this year. Huth, KC, and I have each had a string of tragedies in this latter half that has slowed us down but most of you have stuck with us, and that's very nice.<...
Here is a monster that vexed my Cuccagna players quite a bit, in no small part because at least one of them wanted to abandon the party and join them.

Sorry for the lateness but after my own family issues resolved Huth has been hit with his own issues. Meanwhile my wife and I have gotten very physically demanding jobs that mean we spend most of o...

Huth is once again stepping up this month because my family suffered a number of tragedies at the first half of this month and then I have gotten a very physically demanding job in the second half. I hope to get my schedule worked out where i can start posting again very soon. I'm very sorry for the delay, but I'm sure y'all will enjoy Huth's content because SPOOKY NUN

This post is brought to you entirely by C Huth because my wife and I have had a terrible family emergency. We'll be doing the make up entry for August in October instead.
Anyway! It's an evil bat knight! SpoooOOOOooOKy

Sorry everyone but the next post is going to be in a few days. Both Huth and I have had extremely rough months. I'm very sorry.

Today we have a creature my players have variously referred to as "a baby" and "not those fucking lions again": The Dandy Lion! Or the Tarascon if you're Fancy.

This post represents the end of the principle writing stuff (there's still more edits and some pretty big changes I need to make but whatever) of the first book! Woo hoo! Probably.
I stayed up till 3am sitting with Huth on discord while he finished it. He did the art and layout, btw.

This... er... last week, we bring you the natives of the Dark Country: the Bogdani! Normally you wouldn't think that ethnicity would play a big role in a megadungeon campaign, but the colonial project the Sword Brothers started provides the context and psychic shock of the horrors of Nightwick Abbey's past.

Please, for me if for no one else, call your senators and ask them to refuse to pass this bill as long as it has the anti-trans healthcare sections in it. I also think you shou...

This time we have a thing entirely by Huth because I'm busy with the book-parts of the book that make for worse posts. I hope this suitably witchy creature doesn't find you on Walpurgisnacht (which it probably won't because you'll see it in the morning).
Um... Everything by C Huth.
This is one of the first things I ever came up with for the Isle of Cuccagna. Early on I decided that the island would be full of Grackles - the common variety of the Eastern US not the great tailed variety Texans are familiar with - because their beautiful iridescence but angry eyes and bastard behavior fit the theme very well. I sometimes think I should've done starlings instead because of Sh...

My lovely wife KC wanted to do some illustrations for Cuccagna to help increase the number of posts on here, so this week we offer you the dreadful scitalis, which has vexed many a character in my Cuccagna game.
Work continues apace on Nightwick but due to it's nature there will likely be fewer posts in the run up to a finished book. We'll instead be tackling Cuccagna and perhaps monster...

This month we offer you the village blacksmith! Only one more village area needs to be done before the primary locations are complete. Hooray!

Merry Huthmas! Huth did this one based on a Christmastide bogey both he and I have used in the World of Nightwick!
Everything by C Huth this time!
This week we have another NPC for the village. If you're a regular player in my games you won't recognize him, but Huth and I decided the village needed a contact for the broader thief faction in the Dark Country in the village. Also when I came up with the idea I didn't mean it to be a joke on "What's the Matter with the Mill?" but my parents sang that song while doing housework ...

For October we sadly don't have the most Hallowe'en-y entry, but hey it's coming out at almost midnight on Hallowe'en so maybe you can use this guy in November. He seems November-y.

Hey! We have a writeup of the local inn that adventurers are most likely to stay at. Neat!

This month we have one of the most important NPCs in Nightwick to cover! He's going to be players first taste of Froglings and the main purveyor of all their stuff!
Huth did a bang up job on him!
Hey! We made a character sheet!
I moved this month and Huth had a gas leak so sorry it was a slow one. We hope to be more productive sooner.

It's here! The moment so many of you have been waiting for!
This doc is a one stop shop for everything we've done so far that's going into the first Nightwick book! It's got all three levels, all three level spreads, all the monsters (except the shadow, but we'll do our version of that soon), and some of the village stuff even!
Tell your friends! Tell the press! Tell the president...
This month we have the spread that describes level 3, which should finish the updated level spreads and encounter tables for all three levels. Hooray!
Soon we'll be posting a first draft at pagination for Nightwick Abbey which should make it 10000 times easier to run. Hooray again!

Here we have the Nightwick version of a classic monster that so far only appears in one room of the abbey (so far), but I think everyone who has seen it will agree that it is quite a memorable room. I feel Huth really outdid himself with the art from this one, even if it is a bit small.

April's post is here... right after that month is over. Great.
I asked Huth to do all of it because my partner and I are busy moving. This is what he came up with.

Here's the spread for the introduction for level 2B! Hopefully this will help any of you currently running it.
Also it's the last thirty minutes of trans day of visibility so hi e'erybody!

This week we return to the sunny isle of Cuccagna with another monster - the Blemmye! Possibly they can be found in other areas of the World of Nightwick, but that's up to the individual referee.

This week we bring you one of the magic items of Nightwick Abbey: The Shard of Law! It's a piece of God Himself... or maybe it isn't? Who knows?

This week we bring you another location and NPC for Nightwick Village. This one is one the PCs are likely to rely on a lot, both for superior healing and for holy water: the Church.

This week we have a side view of the Dungeon as drawn by Chris Huth. He debated spending more time on setting it up as a pdf page but I think y'all will forgive us for keeping it a jpg for now.
Coming up we hope to have more of Nightwick Village to share.
