Every month or so, I publish an article about something cool from real history or folklore: something interesting to learn about in its own right. Then I show you how to file the serial numbers off it so you can drop it into the RPG campaign you’re already running. Check the searchable, filterable back catalog to find the perfect scenario, NPC, or adventure site for your game tonight!

My name is Tristan Zimmerman (he/him pronouns). I’m a U.S. Navy veteran, author of several RPG books, and a big fan of RPG content based on real history. I believe such material is richer and more vibrant, and that your players will appreciate the difference. I’m always happy to appear on podcasts.
