So I’m a fan of GURPS Action. I don’t think anyone who has read the books could say otherwise. The rules offered in GURPS Action 2: Exploits alone are solid gold. GURPS Action 4: Specialists is similiar solid gold. Thus, it’s no surprise that I would want to add my own voice to the body of work that is GURPS Action. I […]

Designer’s Notes: The Incanter’s Grimoire
We always write the perfect book after the book is published. Seriously. I wish I’d had more space in GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 19: Incantation Magic and the insight to add to the main book then instead of writing this article later. I’m grateful the article was published and some of the questions I’d been asked could be […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – October/November 2017
Here’s the highlights for me from October and November 2017 (And yes, I know I’m beyond late – I try to do this at the beginning of the month. but stuff happened. So. Much. Stuff.) Authorial Highlights I submitted no articles in October or November and instead pulled from those I’d finished. I’m still writing a […]

Designer’s Notes: GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 19 – Incantation Magic
Wow. It’s finally out. The original idea for this article goes all he way back to early 2013 when +Antoni Ten Monrós and I were thinking about how we’d do “old school vancian” magic. I suggested RPM and he liked the idea and threw the ball back at me “What if we change the paths completely?” Inner Me: […]

Carpe Blogiem: Author, Patreon, and Blog Highlights – September 2017
Here’s the highlights for me from September 2017 (And yes, I know I’m a little late – I try to do this at the beginning of the month. but stuff happened.) Authorial Highlights I submitted the article that needed to be finished (and oh-god-why-didn’t-this-end-in-estimated-word-count). The article S. A. Fisher and I were writing was finished, […]

Here’s the highlights for me from August 2017. Authorial Highlights I had to backburner projects for Combat and Hot Spots and Locations for another article I needed to work on right now. I shifted an article from one theme to another which freed up space in my Thaumatology queue for something that S. A. Fisher […]
Continue readingGamemaster’s Guidepost: Organizing Your Gaming Notes
Any gamemaster (or writer) worth his salt always has more ideas than he has time. These ideas may be half-baked, over-cooked, or perfect and fully formed like Athena on paper from your Zeus-like noggin. It’s just a hazard of the mindset – too much stuff floating in our heads and too much “what if” thinking […]
Continue readingDesigner’s Notes: Deathtraps
My second Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game Pyramid article is out and it’s a bit of a follow-up to my book Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game: Traps. I did my best to keep most of the traps in the book to be somewhat fair. I didn’t even both with the article. It was a roster of deathtraps. That was […]

Man. Coming back home I was out of it. I feel like I slept for a week yesterday. Today I’m a bit more rested, but still tired. I spent most of today unpacking and catching up on some stuff from home. My cat seems to have missed me, and basically hasn’t left my side since […]

I’m writing this from home because Day 3 was just CRAZY and then the trip home was me mostly hallucinating from lack of sleep until I finally got home and passed out for 10 hours before waking up, eating, and passing out for another 12. So here is what happened Saturday August 19th, 2017 at […]
