Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “Merlin’s Magnificent Menagerie” was published in Pyramid #3/120: Travels and Tribulations. I sent back comments on that short GURPS item along with a bit more material. That’s done. I hope. My non-GURPS project stalled got some headway and there is finally a light at the end of the tunnel. And none to […]

Carpe Blogiem: The Chronicles of Ceteri Primer – Introduction
After doing a bit of crowdsourcing to find out if people would interested in a (mostly) brief overview of my modern day secret magic/urban fantasy campaign the Chronicles of Ceteri I’ve decided to do just that. So first, here’s what my session recap page has to say (I’ve reprinted it here because it’s short and […]

Authorial Highlights My Pyramid article “The Fifth Attribute” was published in Pyramid #3/120: Alternate GURPS V. I wrote, revised, and submitted my short GURPS item with its shorter deadline. That’s done. My non-GURPS project stalled while I sort some stuff out behind the scenes. I ended up having to toss about 1200 words of material out after […]

I’ve got an open spot in my current GURPS campaign for my Sunday group (C-Team). The game will be nominally from 2pm EST to 6pm EST. I’m looking for someone who can reliably be there, is friendly, and can do a bit of roleplaying. System mastery is a plus, but not required. If you’re interested, email me. So […]

August was measurably better then almost all of the preceding months of 2018. My writing output wasn’t where I wanted. I average about 3,000 words of creative content per day and take the weekend off to decompress and lately it’s been around 1,500 words and no days off because I’m trying to catch up. Here’s […]

And the suckage is back for September. Will my personal life please stop exploding every five minutes? K. Thx. Bai. My writing output dropped back down to about 500 words per day and I take the latter half of the month to decompress, but alas, that didn’t work as I had a major family crisis […]

Life(TM) continues to beat me mercilessly. I continue screaming at it in defiance. Here are the things that happened in July this year. Authorial Highlights I wrote and had published an article to for an unannounced Pyramid issue (#3/118: Dungeon Trips); “It’s an Encounter!” joins it’s siblings “It’s a Threat!”, “It’s a Trap!”, and “It’s a […]

Like my last four years in review. Here are how things went for me in 2017: The Good (What I did well or that went well) I was among the privileged few to participate in the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game as an author. As I’ve noted elsewhere, the other list of names included Phil Masters, David L. Pulver, Matt Riggsby, and […]

I’m slowly catching up with things – Life(TM) happened again and man everything sucked for a while. Luckily, I’m back-back in the saddle. Here are the things that happened in May and June this year. Authorial Highlights I submitted another article I co-wrote with J. Edward Tremlett and both it and the previous Hot Spots […]

As I talked about before, I have criteria for picking players. Avoiding bad players can be just as challenging as finding good player. As discussed in my previous post, I have criteria for finding good players. The reverse of that is also true – I flat out avoid those with certain traits. Spotlight Hog: One of […]
