It’s a common problem: what happens when your actions counteract official canon for the setting your using? Your players kill Vader, wipe out a dragonmark house, or sink Waterdeep into the sea. As the comic above illustrates, your players may be confused by what’s real and what isn’t in the world. Who do you differ [...]
Over at Stargazer’s World, Youseph interviewed one of his buddies about playing D&D while in the Navy. It’s a great interview, and you should check it out. I had a similar experience while deployed back in ’07, and with our ship about to head out for prep work soon, I thought I’d share what my [...]
The crew of the Iron Dawn is once again ready to take to the stars. I found a few members of the crew on Facebook, and set up a group, asking them if they were interested in playing once again, online, since we’re in all different parts of the US (I’m serious. One in Portland, [...]
So, previously I mentioned how only having a couple hours a week to game makes things more cinematic (aka, like a movie). For proof, I offer up A New Hope. We’ll cover the first couple sessions, then fill out the rest of the campaign in a later post. We’ll take a look at it from [...]
It’s another Monday, and you know what that means? Another fantastic Top 5. These are my top five favorite things this week. 1.

Last week, the wife and I went to Central 111, a local club, for my friend’s 30th birthday. Now, mind you, it’s my first time in a club. I’ve been to bars (quite a few in Manhattan), but never a club. It was an experience, let me tell you. But, as always, I immediately thought [...]
I know I say it all the time, but I’ve got a new series I’d like to start, and maybe see this one through to completion. I’ve previously talked about the group template. The template helps all the players to form a cohesive group, so that it makes sense for the group to be together. [...]
Akin to last time, I’ll be talking about 5 random games (or supplements) I own, based on my random collection widget to the right of the blog here, generated by Geekdo.com. 1. War of the Ring I picked this one up when I was working at Uncle’s Games, back in the day. It’s a board [...]
