About the publisher
Less horror. More laughter.
Brass Quill Press is the work of Mikhail Simin, a DM who believes dire rolls should create new stories instead of ending them. The Ledger of the Damned began during a Waterdeep campaign: when his players worried that a desperate combat was heading for a total party kill, Mikhail promised he would still make it fun and started joking about what might happen next. The undead dragon did not survive revision, but the adventure did.
Inspired by the generosity and craft of actual-play storytellers including Aabria Iyengar, Matt Mercer, and Brennan Lee Mulligan, and by creators such as Ginny Di, Mikhail created Brass Quill to make lighter, constantly funny adventures. The goal is simple: give every table more room for laughter and collaboration.
