Thoughts on running the beginning of Descent into Avernus
I’m a few sessions into Wizards of the Coast’s latest D&D hardcover, Baldur’s Gate: Descent into Avernus for my home group, and I thought I’d put out some thoughts about my experiences running the beginning of the adventure.

NewbieDM Review: Ghosts of Saltmarsh

It’s a book filled with adventures that can be played independently of each other, or as a cohesive campaign that spans levels 1-12.

Launched a new campaign last night and other gaming updates
It feels like forever since I’ve updated my blog, and I’ve had so much to talk about here but haven’t had the time. So last night I launched a new campaign on Roll20.net, and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s a Star Wars game set in the new films’ era, right after Last Jedi, and […]
