I’ve been trying to write this post about how our plans and expectations for 2020 in no way lived up to the reality of 2020, but I’ve been sidetracked by a thousand different issues, including someone in Iowa incessantly trying to take down the Ackerly Green site for the past week. (Hi, Iowa!) That’s pretty…
Our AG+ members will know that we introduced something new to their roster of perks this past spring: a guild-specific monthly horoscope-like forecast based on a secret, in-house divination technique. We’ve only hinted at the method we’ve been using to write these forecasts—until now. We’re finally ready to let you in on the secret! The…
Much to the surprise of nearly no one as it turns out, I was officially diagnosed two weeks ago with ADHD. It’s been tough to hear, but also liberating and freeing as well. Turns out, I’m not just lazy, socially inept, unfocused, scatterbrained, or temperamental. There’s an actual root cause of many of the issues…

I am so excited to officially announce the release date for The Monarch Papers audiobooks, and also that they’re now available for pre-order through our brand new Authors Direct audio storefront! You can now buy audio books directly from Ackerly Green! These audiobooks are something that we’ve been teasing for a long time, and they…
Summer has not been as straightforward as Eaves and the rest of Basecamp 34 had hoped, but with some connectivity finally returning to Lion’s Heart, both he and Gavril have been able to reach out this past week with updates on their progress at the castle. Latest: July 8, 2020: Eaves is Back Eaves follows…
Our summer reading lists are back this week with a stacked list of queer fantasy books from queer authors to last you through the rest of Pride and into the summer! We’ve got a good mix of recent pubs and first books with sequels just out or coming soon, for your reading pleasure. And if…
We discussed Aspects in the last NN:RPG post and we’ll circle back to them and how they’ll work in our game later, but today I want to focus on Skills, which is the next step in creating a character after Aspects and share what Mike and I have been working on to make them fit…
