One of the benefits of working with the ProCreate app on my tablet is the Video Replay feature, which shows the sped-up process of every stroke of my digital paintbrush.
Thanks to my lovely video editor, the 14 minute video (of a 14 hour process) has been reduced to a mere 8 minutes and 49 seconds, and over which I lay some audio musings on concept, inspiration, and goals of my art process with this piece, “Command Night Creatures”, from The Adventurous Vampire.

Manifesting the creative works has been immensely rewarding for me, and I am ecstatic to share them with the Tabletop Gaming community!
Tonight is my last night in New York State for almost a month. Tomorrow morning, I drive to the airport, put the car in the long term economy lot, and fly, fly, fly to Philly, Dallas. Flagstaff, Arizona, a place I have never been to before.
I finished up the artwork for my next publication, Warlock: Dragon Patron (see the cover, above), and uploaded my files to DriveThru RPG, where it will be published via my publishing hub, Midnight Moth Publications, and be available for download later this week. This is the third title in 27 days I have submitted (along with the currently availableThe Adventurous Vampire, and the soon-to-be-available The Greenling Player’s Guide), and with this submission, I think I can safely say that I am starting to find flow with this process, which is satisfying.
Gatekeeping with respect to creativity – that is, having to get someone else’s permission to make something, is one of the principal impediments to art-making in the adult world. Being able to make and put out my own work from top to bottom – to design, write, illustrate, copy edit, desktop publish, and promote- is immensely empowering and rewarding, especially as up until April 30th, I hadn’t done it before.
Here’s to new ambitions, new challenges, new experiences, and new horizons.
Today, as Venus returned to Aries (my natal placement), I submitted THE ADVENTUROUS VAMPIRE, my first digital publication for Midnight Moth Publications to DriveThruRPG. I now am waiting on file and content approval from the Publisher Relations Representative, a process that will take between 1 and 7 business days.
I feel great and look forward to getting it out to the public.
I am waiting on the Dungeons & Dragons 2024/2025 rules update to be released by Wizards of the Coast into Creative Commons, so that I am able to legally publish my 3rd party creations for 5th edition D&D. WOTC announced they would release the material in “early 2025”, “weeks after” the release of the updated MONSTER MANUAL, which came out in mid-February, following the 2024 releases of the updated PLAYER’S HANDBOOK and the updated DUNGEON MASTER’S GUIDE. To date, there has been no release of the 2024/2025 rules update into Creative Commons, and, as of this writing, no indication as to when specifically the material will be available there. It could happen tomorrow, or in a month, or in two months, or ..?
Consequently, the previously announced publication date of March 30th, 2025 for THE ADVENTUROUS VAMPIRE is no longer viable and its release is now TBD.
My response to the delay is to use the time by creating more: the more material of my own I have at the ready, the more I can publish when the updated material is made available in Creative Commons.
Thus:
• I am at work on the art and editing for THE ADVENTUROUS FOOL.
• I have updated the text and am working on the art for the GREENLING Species.
• I am at work on developing THE ADVENTUROUS RUDESBY, which includes an update to 5th edition of a class I developed (but never released) during the controversial and turbulent days of 4th edition D&D, originally called the Vulgarian.
