  • April TTRPG Maker Challenge, Day 2: Where ya At?

    Geophysically, I’m in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, on the northern prairies. Because I live in Canada I’m also on Treaty 6 territory, a traditional gathering place for diverse Indigenous peoples including the Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, Ojibway/ Saulteaux/Anishinaabe, Inuit, and many others whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to influence our community. Edmonton is…

  • April TTRPG Maker Challenge

    I’m taking part in the #AprilTTRPGMaker Challenge this month from @kiranansi. While I’ve been blogging about and editing TTRPGs for a few years, I am just easing a toe in the water of writing and designing my own material. This looked like a good opportunity to talk about that process, as well as solidifying some…

  • January RPG Blog Carnival Roundup

    Whew! Sorry, everyone, January got away from me a bit. Between work getting busy and illness, I looked up and it was February. Nevertheless, we had several contributors to the January Blog Carnival, and I want to thank all the bloggers who took on our theme of “gaming on a budget”. Here’s a little round-up…

  • Tabletop Gaming on a Budget – January 2018 RPG Blog Carnival

    Welcome to 2018, fellow gamers! I hope your holidays were spent in the manner which please you most. For me, that meant delicious solitude spent reading, editing, and writing, with breaks for coffee and scrumptious holiday cooking and baking. I also hope you had a chance to play some games, whether in-person or online. The…

  • D&December Catch Up

    Work has been a bear, and a few things came up besides, so I’m a little behind on my D&December posts. So today is a little bit of catch up, with another catch up post tomorrow to get me up to date. Day #5: A Moment of Triumph This might be slightly different than what…

  • D&December Day 4: Favourite Villain

    I feel like I may have answered this yesterday with Strahd as my NPC, but since it would be boring to just write, “See yesterday’s answer” I’ll pick another. Instead of a specific character, I’m going to go with type of villain. And my favourite villain type is the true villain. I can have fun…

  • D&December Postings, and News!

    Between work and getting into the swing of things with my seasonal depression, I’ve been away for a bit. That’s all about to change, as I’m taking part in the D&December Art Prompts (seen left) and I’ll be posting every day this month. As is tradition I discovered this just after the beginning of December,…

  • Demo Monkey Rides Again!

    I may have mentioned this, but I am once again the Edmonton Demo Monkey for Cheapass Games. I’ve been a huge fan of their games since the company got going a few decades ago, so much so that I was one of their original Demo Monkeys in that program’s first incarnation. The company restructured and…

  • Extra Life 2017

    It’s that time of year again, when good gamer boys and girls stay up playing games for 24 hours in support of Extra Life! While the “good” part might be questionable, I am definitely a gamer and I’ll be doing my part on November 4 to raise funds for my local children’s hospital, the Stollery.…

  • GLYPHcon, or “Zut Alors, I Meesed One!”

    I recently posted about fall cons coming up in Edmonton, and because I didn’t have all the information on it at the time I left one off. So get comfortable, kiddies, and let me talk to you about GLYPHcon (October 6-8)! Now in its third year, GLYPHcon (or Games and Lore of Yearly Pathfinder Heroics…
