The smoke rises from the abandoned mine again. A group of orcs started digging, trying to get inside the ruins, driven by the power that is beyond their understanding. A young scholar is looking for a long-lost truth. And deep down, an ancient evil is lurking, waiting for a fool to release it once more…

Me in my natural habitat, with a cup of tea in hand.
I started crafting content under the banner of Dragonshorn Studios over 20 years ago by maintaining a Baldur's Gate-related website, as well as making mods for it. As time went on, I used the name for different ventures, but for the last three years, I came back to TTRPG space - my first endeavor being the development of a 3.5e system for Foundry VTT. One year later, with the help (and a little push) of Ayatee (my wife), we started publishing adventures, dungeon crawls, and encounter packs for both the 5th and 3rd editions - with me doing writing and Ayatee doing token and item art (and making sure I deliver stuff). As of today, we have released seven encounter packs, five adventures, and four dungeon crawls - all of them as PDF releases and for Foundry VTT, Roll20, and Shard Tabletop. We also successfully delivered 2 crowdfunding campaigns for large adventures.
We do most of the technical stuff, writing, and a lot of art (items and monsters) ourselves in-house.
