Take the muzzle off, D&D Next is Here!
Last December, I was supposed to be part of that now famous group of people who flew to WOTC headquarters and participated in the first demonstration of what is now being referred top as “Dnd Next”, or as I call it, 5e. We were NOT told it was for 5e, but rather for a conference […]
Space Combat in my SW/Age hack
I originally posted this on my Google+ page, I am reposting it here for those not on G+. I play tested space combat in my SW/Age hack last night, and it went pretty well. I’m going to get into a bit of the crunchy AGE bits here, so bear with me if you don’t understand […]
Tempted by the Dark Side of the SW Age Force

Here are some sample enemies: a stormtrooper, a thug, a young rancor, an average bounty hunter, and an imperial customs agent. As you can see with the rancor, the […]
Forgotten idea from my Google Wave: “Fragility”
Google sent out an email this morning reminding folks that their Wave service was disappearing at the end of April. While I didn’t find much use for Wave, I did see its potential for being a neat way to brainstorm ideas with other people. I logged on to my account for the first time since […]
Videogame to Tabletop: Campaign Journal 1
(This article was originally written for The Dragon Age Oracle blog) So I’ve decided that my Dragon Age campaign will switch to following the story line (albeit a bit altered) of the videogame. My 5 players are level 5, and we’ve gone through most of the published adventures, which I believe springboard nicely into getting […]
