2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 3

The nice thing about breaking up what would usually be one giant post for me, is that I get 5 much smaller and more easily managed posts that I essentially write all at the same time anyway. It’s January in 2014! This is like, when I promise to increase my volume of posts and shit!…

Transitions – Feast and Famine

Something new I’m doing is getting in on these Blog Carnivals hosted by the RPGBA. This months topic is Transitions and is being hosted by Hereticwerks. I’m retconning a bit by throwing this entry out there, but future ones should be a bit more prompt. Last week we lost one of our main players in…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 2

Here’s the next set of my the games that I’ve gotten an “Experienced” or higher rating from Raptr this year. As we go further back through the year, you can expect I’ve let many of my memories fade into the hazy drunken part of my memories. Of course, some of these games inflicted their own…

Hold Your Applause

I’ve been doing this blogging thing long enough to know that 300 posts is kind of a big deal. I could give you a list of bloggers that have been in the game long enough to see it, and a shorter list of bloggers that would chuckle and add a 0 to the end of…

2013 Gaming Year In Review – Part 1

Last year I did this thing where I went through Raptr and picked out all the games that I was able to achieve an “Experienced” rating on, then reviewed them. Well, if you hadn’t guessed, I’m going to do that again. Foreshadowing! This year rounded out to an even 25 games that I got as…

D&D Projects in 2014

Well, I’ve gotten my dual classes out of the way finally. Those will inevitably receive tweaks and adjustments as players use them and either find ways to break them or complain about weaknesses. I have another 8 classes that I’m working. Two variants for each of the base classes. That will round out my total…

Classes: The Channeller

Channellers are not quite a wizard, nor a cleric, but manipulators of the basic energies that compose both Arcane and Divine powers. Where a wizard would methodically learn precise motions, words, and combinations of materials to focus arcane power to specific ends, a Channeller learns how to channel this power directly. Similarly they are trained…

Classes: The Seeker

My initial concept for the Seeker was something of a pagan-style multiple deity worshipping Cleric that couldn’t be tied down to a primary god. Giving them access to multiple domains, and even calling down blessing from gods that might not even recognize them as a worshipper to begin with. A thief of divine power as…

Newbie Blogger Initiative! – 2013

Monday! And/or October 1st! (There was some mild confusion so I’m maybe posting early, dunno.) In the beginning, there is a writer. The internet serves as his whiteboard. I began in forums, putting in my two cents wherever I found a field with a submit button. Soon after, I migrated to the “professional” gaming sites…

Making D&D Happen

My typical night before D&D is usually filled with a variety of blog searching and brainstorming. If I’m lucky, the week before I’ve attempted to nail down what the players should expect for the following session. Usually this gets me a focus on what to plan out during the week, but hey, I never plan…
