Hello Dear Readers! I don’t have much for you today other than to do some quick “pimping of my stuff.” Apparently, according to some of my players, I don’t do enough of that. So…here it goes. As you probably already know, I’ve published another Cha’alt supplement. It was published last month. It is a follow-up […]

Read More Niche Protection and New Character Classes for LotFPDear Readers, please indulge the catharsis. It has been quite the day…if my guitar chops were what they were used to from back in the day, I would consider recording my own version.

Read More “The Goal is Immersion” and Venger’s new KickstarterHello Dear Readers! I wanted to write this blog entry two weeks ago to give everyone a preview of what is to come for me in 2023.

Read More The Rule of Cool and Abuse of DiscretionOkay, Dear Readers! I have been meditating quite a bit lately. One issue, in particular, is character death, but rather than write about that today, I am going to do a game review. Why? Because I started chatting up Miguel Ribeiro of the Red Room and he sent me a pdf copy of Wretched Èpoque […]
Read More Wretched Èpoque – The strongest and most unique offering from The Red RoomOk Dear Readers! Today I’m going to continue meditating on the concept of immersion and how we get there.
