I started a new job at the beginning of September. It’s a very different environment and I’m essentially having to learn an entirely new business, including new applications and processes. That’s great Derick, but how does it relate to gaming? How many times do you feel you’ve started over with a new game system? Moving […]
Travelers the RPG, Welcome to the 21st
My latest Netflix obsession is a show called Travelers. It features a group of people sent from the future to stop various environmental, political, and social issues from happening in the present day. Evidently the future is not bright – for anyone. The hook is that only the Travelers consciousness is sent back in time […]
Acquisitions Incorporated – Family Time?
I took my youngest son to see the live broadcast of Acquisitions Incorporated. We had a great time and I think that it has encouraged him to dig a little deeper into DnD. In fact, when I went to play with my weekly group last night he complained that I took the Players Handbook when […]
Characters and Kids
I’m working on a new module for a local get together (more on that below). So I’ve had my laptop open with my Players Handbook (5e is the system) creating characters and watching baseball down in the basement.

Failure and Inspiration
I’ve mentioned a post or two ago that I was trying the Gamer Lifestyle 30 day product boot camp. It is not going well. A few days into the writing and creating process, I got stuck traveling down too many paths and ended up stopping. Embarrassing. My ideas collided with the current options I found […]
