Updates on Projects
I haven’t been blogging much because I’ve been busy on other projects, so I thought I’d write up a quick note on what I’m thinking for a timeline for my current projects. Dungeoning Ma’att My dungeon musing / mapping and short fiction personal project. I’m currently working on the expanded first collection of Dungeoning Ma’att […]

Game-a-Thon 2014 Post Event Wrapup
Overview This is the second year in a row I’ve taken part in Extra Life‘s 24-hour Game-a-Thon to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. Last summer, Ben Gerber of Troll in the Corner posted about his Extra Life team and mentioned that he was looking for more members and I thought it sounded like great […]
On Podcasts
I complain about podcasts a lot because I listen to a lot of podcasts. It’s amazing how many podcasters can’t do the basics of podcasting – turn off the TV/radio in the background, edit out your long pauses, and tag your fucking files properly – and no, “show-####-####” isn’t a proper tag scheme.

Zombies in the Snow
A while back, a good friend of mine was getting fired up with his transition from film-making hobbyist to film making professional.

All of the documents, from character sheet to covers, got updates. I got more downloads since the update than the previous version got in its […]
Campaign idea I’ll never use – Acroamia’s Got Talent
The characters are professional adventure entertainers. A beholder follows each character, magically broadcasting their exploits around the kingdom. It doesn’t take long for the other competitors to start banding together in groups to survive, so the player characters join forces with each other. They gear up by getting sponsors through heroic deeds. The competition is […]
Bard-en your horizons!
If you’ve been thinking to yourself, “Man, I’d really like to play GENERALA, but what that game is really missing is an obnoxious support character class” then have we got some big news for you! GENERALA Bard Skills are here! Honestly, I can think of nothing more appropriate to the ridiculous, over-the-top play of GENERALA […]
Campaign idea I’ll never use – The God Makers
The local religioustry of Generic Fantasy City #7 has put out a general call for reps from the various social organizations in town. Many of the factions will not view this as a great honor and will likely send unskilled and/or untrustworthy but immensely replaceable members – ie. the player characters. Turns out, the mystics […]
Campaign idea I’ll never use – Galactic Smokejumpers
The party are freelance hazard mercenaries. They get hired to fly around the galaxy and drop into dangerous areas to perform rescues and recoveries. Natural disasters wrecking your planet and you need to get your family off? Call the Smokejumpers. Zombie disease outbreak and you need to recover some databanks? Smokejumpers. Space bus full of […]
