    2024

    A new year with a new gaming agenda. I don’t do resolutions — this is more of a general to-do list. More Games – Other Peoples’ It feels like a very long time ago that I spent most of my time at conventions running games. While I haven’t stopped, as smaller cons don’t require my full…

    How Has The Game Changed Over Time – RPGaDay 2022

    The question is: How has the character changed? This is the last of the questions that deal with characters, which is something that I don’t have being more GM than a player and currently not running any games.

From my perspective, I can see that more structure needs to be…

  • Don’t Pity Him

    I suspect B.A. would pity me for my shoddy respect of his fighting skills. You can only really appreciate that you’ve done something wrong when you test it in anger – and I can see after a couple of sessions that I haven’t figured B.A. Baracus out right. It isn’t a problem – indeed, I…
