Grand Wargaming Strategy, Part the First

Blog Restructuring
In addition to polishing off that nearly ten year old module, yesterday saw a minor restructuring of the blog. A bunch of stuff from the sidebars has been moved up to the top bar for ease of access including the mini-megadungeon, the play through of Tyranny of Dragons, and...
