  • At The Rat Hole

    Over at The Rat Hole today I talk about three TTRPGs you should look at this month. Each scratches a very particular itch and have helped me think differently about how I engage with games. Check out the article here and follow the links to play the games!

  • #iHunt: Under the Influence

    Last year I got a chance to play in an actual play campaign for the first time, and it was amazing! Since then I have been working to get the tech and skills in place to host and run some streamed games for charity this year. While hosting has to wait on some needed tech…

  • Wrapping Up 2020

    Okay, here we go, wrapping up 2020! “But Brent, it’s almost the end of January 2021, aren’t you a bit late?” Look, imaginary naysayer, 2020 was a thousand years long, I think I have a bit of leeway. I think I can say, without fear of contradiction, that 2020 did not go the way any…

  • Indie Games December

    A thousand years ago, back in April, I recorded a month of videos talking about indie RPGs under the hashtag #ReadIndieRPGs. I did this in response to another hashtag going around, #ReadtheDMG, in which folx were recording quick videos reading a paragraph from the D&D Dungeon Masters Guide. At a time when people were going…

    Big old Content Warning at the top for body talk around fitness and being overweight. If that sort of thing isn’t for you, I hope you’ll scroll and find some of my other articles to enjoy. If you do read on, it is also important to note that I am writing about me, and me…

  • My WotC Attitude

    Back in July, roughly a thousand years ago, I wrote what I had planned to be my last editorial ever on Wizards of the Coast. I had decided, for what I thought were good reasons at the time, to not write about WotC anymore on any of my platforms, for any reason. And while I…

  • Thursday Self Promotion

    Thursday Self Promotion

    Because of a friend who comes all-caps screaming into my Twitter DMs when they don’t feel I am promoting myself enough, what follows is a post of things I have recently released, am currently working on, and how you can help me do the things I do if you like what you see around here.…

  • BrentCon!: A Little Extra for Extra Life

    UPDATE: Sadly, due to some sudden and suspiciously timed last-minute cancellations, I have to cancel this for lack of players. I have made arrangements with the two remaining players so they will get games run at some point, and they’ve both been understanding. Frankly it’s disheartening to think someone or someones would take time out…

  • Another Solar Orbit Day

    Yep, today is my solar orbit day, or “birthday” as you huma–us, us humans, haha, call it. It’s hard for me to gauge how the past year went, as a global pandemic tends to skew the results. All in all I would chalk it up a win on points after a thorough review of the…
