I grew up around books. Shelves and shelves of them. My dad is an avid reader, so is my brother. I have to admit that as a kid, I read a lot less than them, but books were always a part of the scenery. My wife has a masters degree in reading education, and when… [Read more…]
The winner of the book is Matt, with this artistic rendition of Drizzt: Congrats, Matt! And a signed copy of The Ghost King is on the way!

Why not. I’ve started Dm’ing, so why not start a blog about it. It’s my first time playing on the other side of the screen so to speak. Except for a short stint as a SW d6 DM (great game, one that D20 owes a lot to IMHO), this is my first serious attempt at… [Read more…]
