Lair of Secrets

Ken's prepping for an overland journey in his Shadowdark campaign, and thinking about weather.

Lair of Secrets

Barking Alien launched a new writing challenge for February 2026: the RPG CAMPAIGN TOUR CHALLENGE!

Here's the site's pitch:

----------------
The concept is simple; give your readers/viewers a tour of your current (or favorite or in-development) campaign setting using the prompts provided below by yours truly. Imagine the Challenge as a kind of 'travel guide' to the setting of your game.

It's a great way to show off your World-Building chops or to help develop them by thinking about the prompts and answering the questions they present.
----------------

Learn more and get the full prompt list at their website:
