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 […]

Started work on another short adventure wheile I wait for the caves of Innsfjord to flesh themselves out in at home playtesting. This will be my very first mid-level adventure (outside of Three Knocks at the Crypt Door). It is definately going to be bigger than my Two-Page adventures but not by much, five to […]
Quick Note – JD2 Darkland Moors
Jeff Dee (Classic D&D cover artist) has just released his second OSR module (and Kickstarter stretch goal) “JD2 Darkland Moors” over at RPGnow. This adventure is a follow-up to “JD1 Cess-Pit of the Bog-Queen” (reviewed here by Erik Tenkar). As it was a kickstarter stretch goal I got my copy yesterday but have only been […]
Quick Note – The Caverns Of Ugard
More of a shout-out than anything else. +Shane Ward of The 3 Toadstools blog has just released a dungeon and map created using the pattern that I linked to last night. This dungeon, “The Caverns of Ugard”, is particularly awesome on Shane’s part and serves as an inspiration to my humble-self as a a guide and […]
