  • Questions to the Editor: Editorial Assessments

    ( This was originally a thread I posted on Twitter, but I copied it here in case that was easier for folks to read. I also didn’t want this to disappear into that Great Algorithm in the Sky. Enjoy!) Let’s talk about the editorial assessment. For me it serves a few purposes: 1) it gets…

  • 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…

  • 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…

But I wanted to take a moment to promote something cool I worked on. The Foreign Element RPG is a game for anyone who likes fast-paced, B-movie style…

    We are close to the end of 30 Days of Game Mastering Challenge, closing in on the final week. I hope folks have enjoyed this. I had and am having a lot of fun, and with the exception of a minor hiccup last week, I like having a constant stream of posts. It is very…

  • How I’m Keeping Busy

    When I was laid-off back in April, I had mixed feelings.  At first there was a moment of “I HAVE NO JOB! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!”, which luckily soon passed (sustained screaming makes my throat bad-tingle).  Once that moment was gone, I realized that my old job had made me…not miserable, that’s too strong.  It made me enervated;…
