So I’ve decided to start blogging…

September 10, 2008

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 […]
