New Project In The Works
Not quite ready for the full reveal just yet, but I’ve been working on a new way of sharing this hobby with you fine people. In the meantime, here are a few random shots of my table that will factor in....
Lord of the Fake News Flies
Like all American boys, I was reliably informed by people who should have known better that The Lord of the Flies was an important book that had important things to day and that asked important questions. Like all normal American boys, after reading it, the only question that I...
Book Clubbing
Alexandru over at The Dacian has a cunning plan. Every two weeks he will pick a short story worthy of discussion and give the stalwart Old Guard fans a chance to read and discuss across blogs. In his own words, he hopes to: foster an environment rich in community...
Consulting With “Experts”
In the next week or two we can expect to enjoy a glut of governors racing to get ahead of the population. In some states, the populace has openly and loudly rebelled against government overreach related to the Big Wuhan Hoopty. In nearly all states, the populace has quietly...
Station Myself on the Ramparts
The Amish are great people. Growing up close enough to a large community of Old Order Amish was a blessing, and among my most treasured purchases – a comfort at a time of great sorrow – was a small and simple… let us call it a treasure chest… crafted...

Jack Vance!
huge fan of the man, the myth, the legend who helped inspire the tabletop RPG phenomenon. Learning the master of words had penned the story of his own life drove me to get my hands on the man’s autobiography. And it was fine. Easily the worst thing of his...
Fastasy Roster
My first playthrough of the one dungeon to rule them all exposed a few holes in the lineup. The place lacked a decent missile threat and that all important ‘ambush factor’. To beef up the undead ranks, and make parties that lack a clericbreally feel the pain, my necromantic...
Happy Lei Day
One of the nice things about life in Hawaii – when not suffering under the jackbooted heel of a governor licking his chops at the excuse to ratchet up control of the plebs in his state – is that May First is a celebration of the unique and ephemeral...
