Let’s Stat at the Beginning, Part 2
Sometimes you plan to come back to something right away, only for life to decide, “Haha! Nope!” Sorry to be away so long folks, but I am back! If you are just joining us (welcome!) I am posting some ideas around a developmental edit of D&D 5e, as if I had been engaged to give…

Updates and News
Hello! I plan to get posts out every Wednesday minimum, so sorry for the silence. The time since my last post was rough, but things are back on track so look for me to come back to regular posts starting next week, with the second part of “Let’s Stat at the Beginning“. This week I…

Let’s Stat at the Beginning, Part One
Back in the Before Times (2022) I talked about taking on a little personal project, to approach D&D 5e as if I were doing a developmental edit on a manuscript. Basically, taking the “just house rule it!” advice we’re barraged with on social media whenever a problem with the game is brought up, and going…

Dungeon23 and Me
If you’re hanging around TTRPG twitter, chances are good you’ve seen the hashtag “dungeon23” about, along with its companions “city23”, “setting23”, and so on. Search those hashtags and you’ll find all sorts of settings, locations, monsters, magic items, created by the folks taking part, as well as discussion about the ideas behind the projects. But…

Looking Forward
This past year was a hell of a ride, and almost nothing about it I would have seen coming from where I was in January 2022. I had just cleared 2000 followers on Twitter, there were so many friends I hadn’t met yet, so many projects coming that weren’t even on my radar. And so…

Wandering Grateful
Last night we aired the second part of Ways and Wanderings: The Beginning, the Wanderhome RPG actual play that started planning back in June. I had mixed feeling as I watched it; proud to see the thing we had accomplished on screen and shared with people, but also sad as the project came to a…

Solo Saturday Part Two!
This past Saturday was Solo Saturday the First! By every metric I care about it was a rousing success: folks came by and engaged, I had returning viewers, some of the creators dropped by at various points, money was donated to Extra Life, I got new followers, and I played four excellent games. It was…

Solo Saturday!
Tomorrow, starting at 10am MST/Noon EST, I am playing eight hours of Solo TTRPGs in support of Extra Life! There will also be chatting, and prize giveaways, and stuff. “Oo, stuff! Tell us more about the Stuff, Brent!” I will, I promise, but let’s take things in order. Games! Picking up from where I left…

Retooling the Draconic Ampersand
I have been playing roleplaying games for most of my life. It’s been my passion and my inspiration since I was ten years old, dreaming of dragons and the deeps of space. Unsurprisingly, I have played a LOT of Dungeons & Dragons in that time. It was my first TTRPG, for a while my only…

New Plan!
Okay, so last Saturday was Extra Life Game Day and my plan to stream Solo TTRPGs went amazing! For the first six hours. Then a migraine showed up and ruined the party for everyone. Obviously this bummed me out for a bit. But I am not one to roll over and give up. So I…
