Greetings gamers from all systems, places, and timelines! I’ve been running games for over three decades now, and my favorite campaign of all time, ironically, is my current one.

Greetings gamers from all systems, places and timelines! Recently we ran a Saint Patrick’s Day game which was a great deal of fun for all of those involved. And while it took place on an island called the Emerald Haven, if your group is down for some over the top antics, these could be used … Read more
Greetings gamers from all systems, places and timelines! After two years and twenty-something sessions, our Journey to Ragnarok campaign has ended. Those familiar with my gaming style will find it no surprise that this went off-script. Not because the published material wasn’t excellent but because it’s hard to resist, at least for me, when it … Read more
