Maps and Narrative Play

I got a jump start on my new years resolutions and started cleaning out my gaming stuff this weekend. One of the things that struck me was the number and variety of maps ( and map pieces and tiles) that I have. The most interesting thing is that I have been playing narrative “mapless” games […]

Wednesday Update

Update number four. Almost a habit. Not a very geeky week. No GMing, so no prep for the Dungeon World game. Game Production Front is one third done. Needs more editing. May have two pages because of the monster stats. New monsters including varieties of Kobolds, and new Deep Dwarves. No new moves (so far). […]

Addicted to Kickstarter

Hi my name is Derick and I’m addicted to Kickstarter. It’s been 3 days since I supported a project…hang on..I just need to see if that final stretch goal gets met…it’s really cool, and the campaign is almost over…. Does this sound like you? It isn’t really me, but I may be headed there. I’m […]

I think I did a better job incorporating actions expectations from the players. However, I think that the reveal of the adventure is going a little slow. More next week. Game Production: […]

I think I’m Doing It Wrong

A great new Dungeon World product was released this week – Truncheon World. It compiles all the Dungeon Master rules into one document with some formatting and organizational changes. Brilliant. (It’s on Drive Thru RPG on a pay what you want basis.) As I was reading it this week, I came to realize that I […]

Wednesday Update

Welcome to what will hopefully be a weekly Wednesday Update. I’m borrowing an idea from one of my favorite Star Wars authors/gamers – Sterling Hershey – and trying to dedicate myself to a weekly update. I wont have as many specific Star Wars links as he does – I’m sure there will be a few […]
