Okay, 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 […]

Ok Dear Readers! Today I’m going to continue meditating on the concept of immersion and how we get there. As stated previously, I am a firm believer that the point of an RPG is immersion. Whether it is with your friends or running a game on your Xbox, the goal is to be immersed—to be […]
Read More Hamming it up: Immersion and passionOk Dear Readers, I’m going to chat a bit about a campaign I just got involved in which is centered around a Song of Ice and Fire Role-playing game. I picked up the first edition many years ago but I’ve never actually played it. LegacyGameMastering had an open invitation to join a campaign, so I […]
Read More A Song of Ice and Fire Roleplaying – Building a HouseHello Dear Readers! It has been some time since I chatted with you all about “stuff and things” related to gaming, and my little corner of the gaming universe—or is it multiverse, now? Anyway, I’ve been crazy busy. I just published a Cowpunchers supplement, Midnight Prairie on Itch and at BigGeekEmporium. Check it out if […]
Read More Emergent Storytelling and the Clockmaker DeityOk Dear Readers! Today I decided to blog a bit about languages in Lamentations of the Flame Princess versus how languages are done in other game systems.

Read More Languages in Lamentations of the Flame PrincessHello Dear Readers! Initially, I wasn’t sure what to write about today. Last Thursday I fell ill, as did some of my players, and we had to cancel session three of Lamentations of Elemental Evil. I was well enough by Saturday to record a review and commentary about the Lamentations of the Flame Princess Referee […]
Read More The Adventures of Mark Hess across the 17th CenturyOk, Dear Readers before we boldly dive into Venger Satanis’ latest colorful excursion into the twisted realm of Cha’alt, I just want to say upfront that (a) I’m a huge fan of Venger’s work as a whole; (b) I backed this Kickstarter; and (c) I contributed to Chartreuse Shadows, albeit in a rather small way. […]
Read More Cha’alt: Chartreuse Shadows – The Trinity is complete…?Ok Dear Readers, before I get into a review of Simple Modernity by The Scrying Dutchman, I wanted to give a quick update on some things I’m doing. I’ve started my demo/actual play & game review channel. The link is here and in the sidebar of my blog. The first campaign is a Temple of […]
Read More Simple Modernity: a simple but effective OSR supplementThis second part of my Blade Runner review and analysis is long overdue. My sincerest apologies Dear Readers! In my defense, July was a busy month with vacations, VengerCon, and I am now working on putting together an Actual Play/Demo & Review YouTube channel. It is going to be focused on games that I am […]
Read More Blade Runner Review 2.0 Stress, Resolve, and ReplicantsHello Dear Readers! Today I bring you some backgrounds for Lamentations of the Flame Princess character classes. I’ve previously said that classic OSR systems leave little room for player choice when building a character. As I am about to start a sandbox LotFP game with some people online (if you are interested to join, let […]
