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 Just a quick updateHello 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. Then the OGL 1.1 leak happened. This Open Gaming License crisis has had me busy—really busy. With the constant news updates on this from day to day, it […]
Read More 2023? Really!? This Early!?Hello Dear Readers! It has been a bit since I wrote anything. The Christmas season is in full swing and life has just been keeping me rather busy. I’ve been working on a Bestiary supplement for the Red Room’s Wretchedverse. I’m still running my Lamentations of Elemental Evil Campaign. Last night I just ran a […]
Read More The Rule of Cool and Abuse of DiscretionOk 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 passionThis 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 ReplicantsWell, Dear Readers, I have been absent the month of July for a variety of reasons—most revolve around vacation time. A few weeks ago, my family and I traveled to Tybee Island, Georgia, and had an absolute blast. I got a sunburn but my family garnered some good memories. I totally recommend the spot. We […]
Read More I went to vengercon and all I got was this crummy memeSo Venger Satanis has published what I am considering a follow-up to his last adventure, The Good Syma’arian. This latest one, Rainbow Crystal of Utopia, is dedicated to Pride Month. As you can probably guess, this got taken down by DriveThruRPG. In fact, it was taken down within an hour of submission. No joke. It […]
Read More The People vs. Venger SatanisI haven’t done a review in a while and circumstances in the #ttrpg world (not community, more on that below) necessitate a review with commentary. Venger Satanis has released an eight-page one-shot adventure that is in direct response to a recent and important decision by the United State Supreme Court. I don’t want to discuss […]
Read More Venger Satanis and the Good Syma’arianSo Questing Beast put out a video a little over a week ago responding to what he referred to as a “lost key” to understanding old-school D&D. What is it? It is Gary Gygax’s definition of a campaign that focuses on the game world with strict 1:1 timekeeping for the passage of time between game […]
Read More Questing Beast and the Holy GrailWhile walking my dog this afternoon I got thinking about Lamentations of the Flame Princess and the Cleric class. I recall some playtest rules in either Vaginas are Magic or Eldricht Cock wherein LotFP game designer, James Edward Raggi IV, contemplates removing the Cleric class altogether. I hope he doesn’t. It is, in my opinion, […]
