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 …
