Players of Dungeons & Dragons have a lot of grand reasons to enjoy the game. Escapism, social interaction, lots of shiny colorful dice, opportunities to solve problems and expand your imaginative creativity; the list is nearly endless. Probably one of the most frequently cited aspects that makes the game appealing is the idea that you … Continue reading Too Much of a Good Thing

Change is Inevitable, but this is Ridiculous!
After changing jobs and dealing with needing to move a couple of miles away in a month or so the D&D game I run has been on hiatus for the last month and a half. We had to move our game day and everything so that was a bit of upheaval. To top it all … Continue reading Change is Inevitable, but this is Ridiculous!
Rule 3 and You
One of the running gags in our ongoing game is one or more of the players calling out "Rule Three!" whenever there is even the slightest hint of innuendo. This doesn't even have to be during the game, either. The mere suggestion of anything remotely sexual is enough to spur folks to frantically shout (or … Continue reading Rule 3 and You
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!

They voted their conscience, and in a democracy this is the most highly lauded act a soul can undertake in worldly affairs. And so we are pleased to announce that there … Continue reading Four Days and the Vote is in…

The only thing worse for a writer than having no ideas is having too many ideas. I have a terrible habit of writing down story ideas both for gaming and writing and leaving them scattered about my home. I am trying to break myself of this habit by using cloud-based technology (what an age to … Continue reading Book Six

With copious amounts of vacation and studious use of available free time during normal functioning hours, we are delighted to announce that we are probably done with writing and editing of book five. I realize there is maybe nobody … Continue reading Book Five Mostly Done for Now. Maybe.
Tis the Season… to Write!
As my longsuffering workmates will doubtlessly confirm to their immense and growing delight, I am on vacation this week. And since I don't have to plan a game for the foreseeable future that frees up considerable time to work on book five in the problematically titled "Grundoon Series." Sadly it should also be noted that … Continue reading Tis the Season… to Write!
Keep an Eye on the New Kid
Last night's game wasn't a long session but it was certainly an active one. No fewer than three brand-new non-player characters were introduced to the group and the band of merry misadventurers finally made it "home" to the castle of their old friend the Marquis of Chute de l'Ombre. But there are two delightful details … Continue reading Keep an Eye on the New Kid
What Mystery Science Theater 3000 Can Teach Young Women
There was a time, and gleefully it has circled back around again, when there was a little television show called Mystery Science Theater 3000. In it bad movies were made fun of and along the way valuable life lessons were imparted. Here are a few worthwhile pearls of wisdom for young ladies such as my … Continue reading What Mystery Science Theater 3000 Can Teach Young Women
