This field update comes to you from the heart of the State of Jefferson.  (It’s currently known as Northern California, but from the yard signs seen around the area that’s subject to change as soon as the locals get a say in state politics…don’t hold your breath, the big...

It’s been a good year.  By breaking things up more than normal, I’ve been able to produce content every other day for the first quarter of 2016.  Unfortunately, it is probably going to be a while before anything else appears in this space.  My month long business trip is...

Rooms full of weird pools meant to tempt, trap, lure, and reward adventurers go all the way back to those halcyon days of B-effing-1, In Search of the Unknown.  That was back when TSR didn’t sell adventurers to follow, they sold modules to explore and use to create your own...

South of San Francisco, in the sleepy downtown San Bruno, you can find a loverly little game shop called Heretic Games. Warning to you mutants and chaos-tainted types, the store is watched over by one of the Emperor’s  faithful.  Standing around six and half feet tall, he’s more of...

Another quickie for your lookie.  A wall of spears that leap out at adventurers who don’t exercise enough caution.   This dungeon feature looks a bit rickety on its own, but it was built to fit over the “walls” of the 2.5D dungeon, like so. You may have noticed...
