“It was a Monster… now it is a Wolf”
There is no denying the inherent charisma of the man that owns "The Howler House" inn and tavern in the rapidly redeveloping town of Resurrection. His full name is Gustav Grosserhund, but he insists that everyone call him Gus. He keeps a lively place in the middle of the town where the booze is cheap … Continue reading “It was a Monster… now it is a Wolf”
Don’t Pester Me with Details!
I know that there could be some concern over certain details in my stories, at least the ones presented here in what amounts to be a book format. Before anyone gets their knickers well and truly twisted, let me just say I took a bit of poetic license. Plus everything about this sort of nerd … Continue reading Don’t Pester Me with Details!
“Ok, you prepare to attack with your sword and…. let’s stop there for the night.”
Last night marks the first time that I have ever ended a weekly game during a battle. Not hardly ideal but time had been creeping up on us and before we realized it 10:30pm rolled around and players started turning into pumpkins. The bard and one of the rogues were the first to abandon the game, … Continue reading “Ok, you prepare to attack with your sword and…. let’s stop there for the night.”
That Worked Really Well!
For the first time ever there was a successful switch between Game Masters in what essentially is the same game world in a game I was a part of. What made it the most awesome was that we kept our own characters, and the respective Game Masters didn't have to relinquish control over the NPCs … Continue reading That Worked Really Well!
Clues Hidden in Plain Sight
The hallmark of any failed blog is when you post pertinent information therein and literally nobody in your circle of influence even notices. "I wonder why Chip is so depressed lately." Might have something to do with the daily posts on his blog where he talks in gruesome detail about how utterly alone he feels … Continue reading Clues Hidden in Plain Sight
There is a First Time for Everything. And Eventually a Second.
Last night marked my first time as a player in Dungeons & Dragons for at least twenty years. It also marked the first time ever that one our group did the GMing, complete with coming up with his own unique world filled with custom-made villains. All told it was a raging success.

A Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of Doom
We all know the way the old ads went: "You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! You got your peanut butter on my chocolate!" Last night's game was something like that, except you need to substitute the words "chocolate" and "peanut butter" with "dragon" and "lich" respectively. These are not two great tastes that … Continue reading A Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup of Doom
That is a lot of dead Lizard
Let's hear it for the dames! Without a proper warrior of any kind, and without significant sorcery, the self-described "Badass Bitches" took on and took down Druuna, the green dragon that ruled Forêt Verte. This was the longest battle against a single enemy I have ever been a party to, and it went badly for … Continue reading That is a lot of dead Lizard
