Oddly enough, running Dungeon Fantasy demos are my local game store and my hacked-together version have given me a bit of insight into the series like nothing else ever has. At first, Aersalus was just supposed to be a straight-up Dungeon Fantasy campaign with all the normal rules and races and the beer and pretzel approach. […]

+Mook Wilson is one of those lovely people you meet on the Internet and wish to Glob that he lived in your area – or at least visited every once and a while. He’s just a genuinely nice guy. He posted this very cool link of his GM kit on his website. On Facebook someone mentioned […]

Steve Matousek (of Atlantis Games and Comics) is one hell of a nice guy. I’ve known him for over 16 years and he’s the sort that will do what he can to help, however he can. He’s also a excellent businessmen and knows what buttons to push to get people to buy things in his […]

Guys, My laptop has died. It kicked the bucket at around 10pm yesterday and I’ve been unable to revive it since. I have no clue when I’ll be able to get the blog back up and running as I’m typing this from my phone. I hate to ask this, but I need help and […]

I was asked by a couple people what I thought about Doug’s post “Games I’d Like to Play.” Well, I don’t typically like to play games, but run them. It’s really better off for everyone I’m playing with if I’m not actually a player. I tend to get cranky when things don’t work like I […]
