Unrelated side note: I currently have 1337 lifetime views. I’ll heartily grant that this is a pittance of a number compared to the traffic several of my friends get, but it’s something for 13-year old Seth to be proud of. Axes, dude. Axes are dope. It’s probably no surprise that the specific impetus for this […]
So I picked up Into the Unknown yesterday. I also picked up the previous book, Heroes of the Elemental Chaos because it was full of crunch. I purchased Unknown primarily because of the goblin and kobold crunch; both races feature prominently in my Tran campaign, so I’ve done a lot of work creating feats and […]
You know, the kind for those of us still alive. Starting things off with a summat spoiler-ific link is actually in service of the post itself, note. I imagine most of my readership would ask if Portal could be spoiled at this point; people have been asking that question, and assuming common knowledge, since shortly […]
Newly moved, newly minted, newly anointed…appellate as you like, the posts be flowing again. The biggest impediment to my writing thatthat wasn’t financial or connective in naturewas the marked lack of game-playing which accompanied the afore-indicated impediments. I wrestled with the question: “Can someone who isn’t really gaming write about gaming?” But, I admit, i […]
As I stare across the very short span that separates me from 30, I’m the first to admit that there are things I haven’t done. I haven’t published the novels I would like, or the sweeping campaign world epics that gamers the world over could thrill to. I haven’t built the resume I might like, […]

I’ve got a handful of half-finished posts from the last few weeks, some of which will eventually make it into a form that reaches the broader nets. I’ve also picked up a few new games; did […]
First, please see for reference my preview post, which is to say the review I wrote of Thor prior to actually watching the movie.
A few days ago, Wizards.com posted a gem from the 1e DMG regarding humans as a playable race. Quoting that article as my source for what’s in the book—something I’ve painstakingly explained to my mother she should never do in her master’s program papers—I present you with the following gem: “This is done principally because […]
My sister* asked my opinion of Thor. Because she asked the question snuggled safely in the chiseled arms of the godlike physique that is her Kiwi man, within the floating spires and ancient structures of his New Zealand homeland, I saw the question a few minutes after springing from bed, 6 in the morning style.

That cheating? When I ported these venoms of my mind over from blogspot to this here noble domain, some shit didn’t port right. I think that my posts, after some effort, have been brought up to speed. All my jump cuts should work. Formatting should be cleared up–inasmuch as I’ve managed, that is; some of […]
