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.

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…

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…

Creating a Library, No Big Deal

On Facebook yesterday I mentioned that I’m going ahead with an idea I’ve had milling about for a while now. I’m creating a roleplaying game library, mandated to collect, preserve, and share tabletop roleplaying games, as well as documents associated with the hobby. I’m not the first person to have this idea. Alexandria RPG and…

RPGaDAY Thirty-One

What do you anticipate most for gaming in 2018? On a personal note, I’m excited by the prospect of more and regular gaming. The groups I play with and DM for have become much better at scheduling, which means a regular gaming schedule overall, which means more games getting played every week. Currently I DM…

RPGaDAY Thirty

What is an RPG genre-mashup you would most like to see? Let me start by saying what genres I’m tired of seeing mashed in RPGs: anything to do with zombies or cthulhu. Zombies are well over in my opinion. They’ve been done well once or twice, but now it’s time to move along. And I…
