Running TTRPG games online for profit is still a business in infancy for me.  I don’t have a sense of what sort of adventure people would be willing to pay for or where the demand is.  So my first months out I’m trying to offer things I’ve done before that I know I can do…

I had a kind of emotional speech about the love and praise that’s come out since I started running games for money on Start Playing Games.  I’m not ready to share it just yet.  So let’s talk games! The adventure that I want to recruit most for right now is listed on the page as…

So Blue Bell has won the race to become my PC for Tyranny of Dragons.  My Elf Cleric fantasy will await a more compelling pantheon than the Forgotten Realms which is probably for the best. I know I’ve posted about this build before but let’s recap.  The build is, Eloquence Bard/Zealot Barbarian.  Exact levels are…

The D&D crew is once again drawing to the end of a Wizards of the Coast hardcover book.  We are almost done with Candlekeep Mysteries and it’s time to select a new book.  We’ve decided to to go with Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat, also known in their combined final form…

I have now played or run all of the adventures in Candlekeep Mysteries.  So far all of the 5e Adventure anthology books have been worth picking up.  Even if you don’t like all of the adventures, the maps and the variety provide a tremendous value.  That said, some adventures are more equal than others.  Here…

Like any TTRPG loving person I have a tidy library of character ideas and fully filled out character sheets for PCs I’d like to use and stories I’d like to explore.  This is well in excess of the number of games and campaigns I could possibly participate in. I make up a lot of characters…

At this point everyone’s seen this movie. … Good night folks! But seriously.  This movie is…good?  Yeah that’s it.  It’s good.  That is an accurate descriptor of 2022’s The Batman.  It’s just not really my cup of tea right now.  Starting with the positive, this movie is technically superb.  The production design is great.  The…

For playing through the adventures of Candlekeep Mysteries I created a character for every class based on a fictional detective type character.  Detective Pikachu became a Storm Sorcerer, John Constantine became a Fiend Pact Warlock.  Good times.  These adventures are pretty damn good, especially as we get past level 5 and get into the Goldilocks…

Our group is continuing to do adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries.  The next one up for me to DM is “Price of Beauty” by Mark Hulmes.  Coming off ‘Book of the Raven’  I see some big picture similarities.  This adventure is a place to explore more than a plot.  The idea here is that the PCs…

I have finished the Expanse novels. I started reading the series in the fall of 2019.  The 8th book, Tiamat’s Wrath, was released in January 2020.  Going by my tweets I tore through the first three books in about a month and a half during the busiest season of the year for me.  I fell…
