Guest Post by Antoni Ten Monros Steve Jackson Games is running the “Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game, Powered by GURPS” Kickstarter, and one of the questions you often get, is why?

Carpe Blogiem: It’s not you Dungeon Fantasy, It’s Me
Guest Post by +Travis Ellis When I started blogging three years ago, it didn’t take long for +Douglas Cole to comment that the games I was running had plots that could be ripped from television shows or movies. I run games that are very plot heavy. My games that focus more on why you do something and the […]
