I’ve been a busy little beaver – and if my keyboard hand’t crapped out on me at the beginning of the month I’d’ve had a lot more done. As it stands, I feel pretty good at the state of my campaign (s). I’ve add another team to the roster (C-Team) and I’ve almost completed everything […]

Peter Dell’Orto talked a bit about how to not let your Dungeon Fantasy campaign become a fantasy campaign. It’s extremely well-written and if you want to avoid the situation that I describe in my first post then you should follow it to the letter. If not, read on.
