Hi fam, is it! I’ve been very productive on the backend of “Ackerly Green,” working on the site, the app, and my new book, as well as brainstorming immersive and interactive plans for 2023; but I realize it might seem pretty quiet from the front end, so now that it’s technically autumn (!) I figured…
I’ve delayed writing this for months for a lot of reasons (bwahhaaaaaaa, that’s the perfect first line for a post about ADHD. That should be it. The whole post, “I’ve delayed writing this for months for a lot of reasons. Be sure to follow for more neurodivergent tips and tricks.”)
I was recently lamenting in my forum journal that I was struggling to come up with ideas for content and motivation to focus on social media and wasn’t sure what the solution was. I want to build a social media presence that feels immersive and magical so that new readers know what they’re getting into…
This post is a long time coming, especially since it’s now May (ouch) but now that The Book of Briars, The Briar Society: Chapter One, and the Neithernor RPG Handbook are all out (ouch again), I have some breathing room and can get back to plans I’d made before 2021 even started! So, yes, it’s…
You may or may not know that Ackerly Green has an initiative called The Community Fellowship. Originally the brainchild of @Augustus_Octavian, the Fellowship serves those in the community who can’t currently manage the cost of new books, merchandise, or memberships, allowing them to make private requests to the Fellowship. This project is important to me…
THE NEITHERNOR ALPHA IS OUT NOW If you didn’t know, the alpha for the Neithernor roleplaying handbook is out now, and I’m so grateful for the response it’s received, even in its current alpha version. It’s the best-selling Book Shop-only book, and that fact alone makes me so happy. I can’t wait to hear your…
Hi! I wanted to preface this quick announcement by saying that I have some fun plans for the community this year. A lot of it is centered on the guilds, including updates to the guild categories, new experiences, and guild-specific events (and new merchandise!). But today I want to focus on two significant community-wide changes…
This will be the first time I’ve fully revealed lore about the workings of the Briarverse outside of canonical books/experiences. Still, covens are a big part of the Neithernor RPG, and since they’ve only been briefly mentioned in the books, it bears exploration. This is a big one, so let’s dig in! Forming Your Coven…
If you haven’t already, check out the Weatherwatch, Gossmere, Flinterforge, Ebenguard, and Thornmouth reveals to share your thoughts and read about how and why we structured guild skills and archetypes the way we have. Next up, the Empaths of Balimora! Balimora was fun because there’s a lot of kinetic and action-oriented possibilities for a guild connected to change,…
If you haven’t already, check out the Weatherwatch, Gossmere, Flinterforge, and Ebenguard reveals to share your thoughts and read about how and why we structured guild skills and archetypes the way we have. Next up, the Scholars of Thornmouth! Thornmouth was a bit of a challenge, though I always knew what Umbranor would be. The challenges were that: I…
