Two Major Projects Featured in Forbes

Posted on December 18, 2024

I’m excited to see that two of my major projects are both listed in the top five recommendations of the 2024 Forbes gift guide published by Forbes Media. Both Mini-Dungeon Tome I and Mini-Dungeon Tome II (AAW Games) are recommended must have holiday gifts for Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Masters.

Between the two books, I contributed nearly 220 maps and wrote 50 adventures. I also designed and managed the Kickstarter campaigns that funded the projects, and designed all the marketing and promotion materials for the total of six volumes (including 5E, Pathfinder, and Pathfinder 2E editions).

The whole team put so much work into both of these books, and it’s really nice to see them getting recognized!

Random Review

The Burning Tree of Coilltean Grove


Justin Andrew Mason’s mini-dungeon here is simply awesome – beyond the obvious roleplaying potential… This is a great use of the format and well worth a final verdict of 5 stars.
