On Modules, Sandboxes, and Western Marches

Epic Adventure ·

2024/09/18

I remember opening up “Keep on the Borderlands” the first module I ever ran. It came in the D&D Basic Set and I thought it was very cool. The players started out in a keep, a perfect base of operations. It had a tavern, a blacksmith, a provisioner, and a chapel. Everything a growing adventuring party needs. From there the players would travel to the Caves of Chaos and explore underground lairs of beasts an monsters. You know, the dungeons of dungeons and dragons.To be fair I don’t really

GenCon 2024 Recap

2024/09/04

One of the things that I love every year about GenCon is the anticipation. Seeing the vendor hall slowly fill up with stuff, from carpets, to displays, to boxes and boxes of products. Fork lifts making there way down the crowded isles and the constant beeping of heavy machinery backing up.It’s hot and sweaty and you are praying for the convention center to turn the air on in the hall, but you know that won’t happen until Thursday morning.As the booths start to come together you start feeling that

I was 15 years old and a buddy of mine who lived down the street owned a video store. Ok, his parents owned a video store. He was 15 just like me. Not only did we have access to a huge array of VHS, but he also had a Laser Disc player.The Laser Disc was the precursor to the DVD and it was really cool.In the summer while his parents were working, I would ride my bike to his house and we would fire up the laser disc player and watch all kinds of movies we probably shouldn’t have. Movies like Friday

Character Death

We sat speechless, staring at the DM.“That’s a 100-foot fall so after the first 10 feet it’s 1d6 for each 10 feet…9d6…You each take 35 points of damage.”We were dumbfounded. Our party of 3rd level characters had started across the suspension bridge, and with no warning, perception roles, or saving throws, the DM had announced that the bridge had collapsed dropping all of us into the chasm. TPKMy first TPK as a player, and it left a very bad taste in my mouth. I didn’t play with that DM again. Well,

Creating a Team

2024/07/10

“Teamwork makes the dream work” was quoted by leadership expert John C. Maxwell in his book by the same name. The actual quote read: “Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.” What does this have to do with adventuring in our table top games? Well, actually, everything. A team is a group of individuals working together who collaborate on related tasks to achieve their common goal. Hearkening back to the beginnings of table top

I don’t remember if it was my first visit to the public library, a Carnagie Public Library of course, but it was definitely the first time I strayed away from the children’s section and started looking for books to read.The adult side of the library was very different. No cartoon covers in bright colors, just rows and rows of big fat books, they all looked the same. And they all looked like they were more than I could handle. But then I found them.They were in their own section. Rows and rows of

For me it started with Blade Runner. I remember being blown away by the majestic sweeping images while Vangelis played in the background. It was that mixture of noir and sci-fi, dark tech and it just oozed attitude.Snow Crash was next, the 1992 novel that really opened my eyes to the full cyberpunk experience. Ghost in the Shell, Altered Carbon, Akira, Battle Angel Alita, the Matrix and more recently Kacey Ezell’s Second Chance Angel rounded out my hard drive.As for roleplaying I played in a short
