Having only played in an episode of someone else’s and run a few sample scenes to show people how it plays, I was finally able to run my first full game of Primetime Adventures today. The group was half strangers to me, but they all seemed to be good creative people, so it was a […]

There is a fun new (or possibly old) Meme going around that asks a few questions about yourself, which you let Google answer for you. Here’s how it works…
You go to Google and type in a number of phrases in quotes, each one starting with your first name (not nickname or tag or anything). The […]

It’s 2009. A new year is upon us and this is the time that people start talking about all the things they are going to do differently this year. There are all sorts of resolutions flying all over the place. Promised actions of change. How many of these do you think the makers will actually […]

Something nearly every gaming group has to deal with at one point or another is the missing player. Hopefully this is only once and a while, but sometimes this problem persists and can even spread among the rest of the group. When this leads to a situation where you aren’t sure you will even have […]

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 […]

Although things have slowed down, I am still actively writing on, rewriting, and testing the Whispering Bluff game. A lot of recent events have been less than encouraging, but I can’t say that last night’s playtest was one of them. What I saw and learned last night has really reinvigorated me on this project. I […]

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 […]

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 […]

What I had originally planned for this week (which was actually more like choosing one of three possible things) is going to be pushed aside as recent events pushed all other thoughts aside at the moment. Instead I am going to write this mostly non-gaming related post in honor of my Grandmother (although she is […]

I‘ve never really had good luck running one-shots. Most of them tend to end up taking longer than planned, usually two to three sessions, but some off them just fall flat, usually because of all the things that get cut out of them to make them fit into one day. The multiple day ones have […]
