Chapter 3: The Games People Play
Kendrick was not as poor tempered as everyone seemed to be expecting when he finally rose. Being a little hung over seemed to keep him in a calmer state. As he ate, the guys packed up the rest of the things […]

Sadie quietly followed as Kobe led them all back to their things and then took off to take the lead, far ahead of the group. He prolly doesn’t want to be around the rest of them right now. She thought. […]

I decided to start posting stories to my blog. At least ones that are related to my games in some way, especially The Land of Karn. Most of these fall into two main camps, Travelers of Karn stories and Narstint Perfecto stories. The first being a novel based on game characters and the second being […]

Let me start off with a few disclaimers, before I get into the review. These may dissuade you from reading the rest, but I’m fine with that.
Disclaimer: Let me start this off by saying that this is not a perfect movie of some kind of creative masterpiece, but it hits me just right in several […]

Don’t really have something to post at the moment, but thought it would be fun to post what I just found. There is a site called Wordle that lets you make these word images of any text collection. They even let you link to a blog or something as the source. So I made this […]

This is not going to be my usual planned out or plotted post. This is just a personal rambling about the last week or so. If you want specific game related information or updates on where the state of Whispering Bluff is, you should skip this one. I’m sure I will get back to do […]

After my extended bout of unemployment, where I wasn’t sure if I was going to make it or not, I am back to working and have a stable schedule again. It was really hard to do when my life was turned upside and I didn’t know how I was going to make it to the […]

An unfortunate side-effect of having a new job is the amount of energy and work it takes up. Even when it’s not a new job, but your long standing one, it can take up a lot o time and energy. Add the other things in your life that you have to take care, especially if […]

It seems as though I had another small lag in posting. The search for a new job and other problems made it harder for me to get the urge to post my usual kind of long post going. This means I need to make a change.
First things first, I need to stop thinking I have […]

When deciding to run a game that includes languages other than the ones you actually speak (in most cases I will guess my readers use English) you have to decide how those other languages are going to be handled. Are they going to be mostly ignored, have parts created for flavor, or even get completely […]

Although the term “Player versus Player” tends to have a negative connotation with most gamers, the term also tends to cover a larger array of gaming interactions that includes some of the necessities of good role-playing. I am not going to just speak about how wonderful PvP is, as it can have a lot of […]

This could very easily turn out to be another game related or even gaming advice post, but that’s not the intent here. This is supposed to be a post about my own experience right now with the re-launch of my blog. With the return of my drive and inspiration, what some could call my Muse […]

I’ve been having some connection problems recently (like since right after my last posting) and don’t know when it will all be fixed. So I am sitting at my mothers house right now (taking care of things while they are on vacation) and decided to use the connection here to post my next blog a […]
