WEGs “The Pirates of Prexiar” converted to FFG SW
Here’s my attempt at a quick and dirty conversion of the introductory adventure for the 2nd Edition Revised and Expanded version of West End Games SW RPG, The Pirates of Prexiar, into the new FFG SW system… I am not going to reproduce the whole adventure, just the relevant bits. This isn’t just a blog […]
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
One of the questions I’ve been asked about my Star Wars/Age conversion is about the Force. I’m pulling from a variety of sources in this conversion, but admittedly, the d6 game is a big, if not the largest, influence. So here’s how I’m handling the Force and the dark side; the Force is one of 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 […]

The Dark Legacy of Evard season is finally over. After running a table this season, I also ran a table for the World Wide Game Day event for the Neverwinter Campaign Setting at my local store. I had a lot of fun and I’m stepping down as a DM this season while looking forward to […]
3 Years Behind the Screen
Last month marked my third anniversary as a full time DM, and I still enjoy it so much that I haven’t passed the baton to someone else. It’s actually pretty incredible that I’ve been able to do it for so long without losing much interest (and the same goes for running this blog), as I […]
On August 1st, buy something at a bookstore
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 […]
Moral Conundrums & Tough Choices in Your Game
One of the things I’ve learned since I began DMing Dragon Age is just how good placing moral conundrums in front of your players is. The Dragon Age adventure philosophy, by design, encourages this approach to story-telling, and I’ve found that it really makes players become more involved in the story you are all trying […]
