I love running games. Fantasy, Sci-fi, Retro, Space, Modern… you name it, I love it. I love it when you’ve got those players sitting there, leaning forward, waiting to hear what you’re about to say, waiting to see what you’re about to hand out, and waiting to attack whatever it is you’re about to throw at them. In a nutshell, I love the challenge of [Read the article]
Some pitfalls and roadblocks to avoid, and tips to heed, when writing your own RPG…
John Armor, “Old School Tough Guy,” is a character for the fantastic cyberpunk game of Interface Zero, made up using the awesome Strands of FATE system.
I’m excited to tell you about our favorite site for November because it’s one of those gaming sites that I go to often. I don’t go there because I like the owner, because the site is pretty and shiny, or because they are an authority on a specific gaming topic. I go there because the site has concrete, useful gaming information that directly improves my [Read the article]
I’m sitting here at my work desk, trying to come up with something witty to say. I’ve deleted paragraph after paragraph because they kept making me sound like a complete tool. Maybe that’s the case anyway, but at least at this very moment I’m just typing whatever comes to me. Quick sidenote: Pour Some Sugar On Me is on the radio right now, and it’s [Read the article]

I haven’t been too keen on the web series movement, and it’s been a while since I clicked on Hulu, but I caught wind of a new 6-part series and it seems right up my alley.

Hey my fellow gamers, I thought I’d take this opportunity to say a few things about what’s going on around here. We hit a couple of milestones, have a few things coming up, and have a thank you or two to throw out there… This is My Game is our current Favorite Site of the Month, and our post about it received the most number [Read the article]
Sometimes I wish I could split myself in two, just so that I would have more time to visit and read up on all of the various gaming blogs.
