It has been over a year since I last posted anything to this blog, and it should be fairly obvious to anyone actually reading this that my Polyhedral Dreams came to an end. I still game, though not quite as much as I used to, and I still consider myself somewhat involved in the hobby, […]

Part one of a two-part post by me looking at high-level play in RPGs went live today at Stargazer’s World.

The second part will go up tomorrow. Go […]

I really ought to be working on Resolute, Adventurer & Genius. We’re ready to playtest, and with the addition of some paranormal foes and a GM ideas section the base draft will be finished. I’m feeling a bit burnt out, though, so I’m slowly giving in to an urge that has been building for a […]
