The Academy of Adventures Summer Camp is Now Open!

Welcome to another year of the Academy of Adventures! We’re back with new adventures for another incredible summer!

The Academy of Adventures is a five-day online summer camp for kids ages 11 to 15 to learn how to play one of the world’s greatest roleplaying games! By backing this Kickstarter, you reserve one space at an online table of five young heroes as they learn the basics of roleplaying from longtime teacher, game designer, camp counselor and director Richard Malena-Webber and his team of counselors. Together, these heroes will spend one week learning how to create outstanding characters, working with others as part of a dynamic team, and achieving their fantastic adventuring goals!

The Academy of Adventures was founded in 2020 to ensure that kids could always have access to two powerful outlets for play and joy during their socially distant summertimes: Dungeons & Dragons and summer camp.

Empyrean Investigations Pre-Orders are Live!

If you missed the recent Kickstarter for my book of detective adventures in D&D, you can now grab your own copy on Gumroad! This pre-order will probably only be open for a few weeks, so that I can get these ordered and out to backers on time in April.

We’re moving into the playtest phase this week, so this may be your last chance to grab these books before they’re gone!
