Quick Note – A sequel and an all new adventure
“Helena’s Gauntlet”, the Edge of Space adventure that I’ve been working on for the last several months is going well. While the Sword of Hathor the Confederation ship from “Horus Adrift” makes an appearance in “Helena’s Gauntlet” the crew and members of the that ship are not the focus of the adventure. However, I had […]
Quick Note – Health Management and Gambling in Eira
As progress on Eira continues I have been contemplating a slight but significant change to how I approach character creation, or to be more specific character health. When Eira was first conceived all classes used a single d6 with a positive or negative modifier for their health. Pixie Tricksters for instance were d6 – 2 […]
Quick Note – Late to the Party
Today I was informed that wonderful folks behind The Gamers series and Journey Quest are making a movie based on Jack Chick’s infamous Dark Dungeons comic. The film will be available later this year and will hopefully feature the excellent comedic timing and style of the earlier productions. I am greatly looking forward to this […]
Quick Notes – An observation on VTT gaming and another review!
Last night I had the distinct honor of being able to take part in a wonderful online gaming session run by +John Swan and put together by +peewee rota.

Quick Note – Breaking the Silence
My apologizes to everyone for once more going silent. My daughter’s birthday was last week and that means out of state family paying us a visit for a prolonged period. However, while I was unable to update the blog I was able to continue with my other projects thanks to the awesomeness that is the […]
Quick Review – Log Horizon
Quick Review – Log Horizon Rarely do I write about anything not gaming, however, my feelings on this particular anime are rather strong. Not strong in that the show makes me overly emotional in one direction or another, but strong in a quiet way. Before I review the yet to be finished anime Log Horizon […]
Quick Note on Faith and Dungeons & Dragons
While doing asearch to see if I could find any listing for pre-sales of Next I came across “A Christian Response to Dungeons and Dragons” a book written in the 80s that follows the stereotypical line of Dungeons and Dragons being a gateway drug to EVIL. Now, I’ve never been the best Christian … far […]
Quick Note – An experiment with a “new” system
I am not going to lie I enjoy D&D Next. It isn’t my favorite system and some of the rules during the playtest seemed strange to me. However, it is up there in terms of system enjoyment for me and I don’t think I will mind shelling out the $50.00 for the books when they […]
