Let’s see if I can’t get this a little boost toward getting over the top. Blood Red Sands – Competitive Swords-and-Sorcery RPG is a little different from my normal thing — a competitive roleplaying game, where ultimately only one PC goes on to face the Witch King. This game has many trappings …
I’ve never been big on the Batman franchise. I’m more a Marvel fan than DC, and Batman is still fixed in my mind as being pretty camp. The recent series that just ended notwithstanding. This fan-made video, however, makes me want to rethink this. Full of betrayal and darkness, the …
I’ve been doing Links of the Week for about a year now (just over eleven months in fact; first in the category was September 1, 2011). They started as a way for me to keep track of nifty things I found and to share them. Eventually they became one of …
A Hall of Fame entry, a few blog posts, a few Kickstarters, some exciting medical science, and a commercial for something very shiny I couldn’t make proper use of even if I could afford it. Hall of Fame Tales of the Grotesque and Dungeonesque: Random Wizard’s Tower Generator Jack Shear …

Very light week this week. One addition to the Hall of Fame and a few videos. I really haven’t had time to read blogs this week. The new aggregator has been open for a couple days now (if you have me circled on google+ you may have seen the link) …
I received my copy of Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Master’s Guide to Session Prep by Phil Veccione on Friday. I read it over the next couple of evenings (perhaps two hours total). Conclusion: A very good addition to my bookshelf. My background is quite similar to Phil’s. I’ve been …
This isn’t the announcement I was hoping to post today, I’ve got some more work to do before I’m ready to open the doors on the RPG blog planet. Things are coming along, but I am now looking for more data. Right now I’m pulling from a couple of my …
Demons and rituals are both staples of fantasy. I’d like to see what I can do with them, especially integrating these topics with ideas from the Books and Libraries reworking I am doing. D&D a much better job here overall, with a great deal more material and application in the …
Tomes, grimoires, dusty libraries, all have been used in any number of stories. They have varying importance in role playing games, from terribly (and terrifyingly) important in Call of Cthulhu to being MacGuffins in certain adventure scenarios to being where you can exchange gold for questions answered. I have noticed …
