Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Borrowed from GDW, this set of ideas are a way to abstractly write out an adventure or campaign. On the campaign level, it is very recursive in nature, because the overall campaign can have BASICS/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICk/ENIGMA and within the campaign, there are adventures (usually part of the PUSH or PULL) that themselves have BASICS/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICK/ENIGMA. Within those adventures,…
Every gamer is different as we all know and I am no exception. I like certain type of gamers involved in my game and others I can not handle. I don’t deal with confrontation well, especially when it deals with something we are supposed to be having fun with, but gaming is social and in…
From the Dead Reckonings Sourcebook (converted to CoC 7e) Pre-Game Read and Prep I am planning on running this on Dark Rivals for one of my game day events, RonCon. I picked it relatively randomly although I like the “caught in the middle of a Livecraftian War” aspect to it. However, I do have a few…

I have decided to start a blog about some of my more recent gaming experiences. Life has been amazing to me personally and in my gaming. But recently, I have struggled and wanted to share them. In part, to perhaps convey to others that might be experiencing this that they are not alone. But also…
I am officially placing my Wednesday night gaming on hiatus. Real life just simply does not make it easy and that makes it hard for me to have a satisfying experience. It is nothing against those that loyally stuck with it. When it is not fun for me though, I need to re-evaluate how I…
System/Setting: D&D 5e/Forgotten Realms Ended: March 13, 2015 Tried my hand at D&D through the new version. This was a straightforward short campaign with very little depth and a lot of combat. My experience with D&D 5e was very pleasant but the adventure was just a little shallow for me.
