    Where Have All the Gamers Gone?

    Football, Baseball, Basketball, Hockey, NASCAR... The "fanboys", that I know, of these sports are just as bad (and in many cases, even worse) at "adulting" than most of the gamers I know. I won't even bring up the party boys that go out & drink 2, 3, 4 + nights a week...

    You know, I went over to The Lore Observer's Kickstarter for 100 Maps of Fantasy Islands, solely in hope of finding a video that started with "Welcome, to Fantasy Islands!"

    Poll of the Week: What's the best gift for your GM?

    Gift cards to FLGS... Even my wife doesn't know all the gaming goodies I have stashed away. Not that I'm hiding them - we have LOTS of gaming stuff - she just doesn't really keep track. I would expect my gaming group(s) would have even a less of an idea of all the stuff I own! Bill

    I would have thought that one of the most important persons on a ship would be the one who doled out pay!

    It's FREE RPG DAY, So Head To Your Local Game Store Today!

    I'll add my rant... Went to the store close to where I live (within a mile) & was told I could pick one item out "if I bought something" (!). I won't be visiting that store again, ever.

    How the Scouts Teach Gaming to Kids

    How things change... Back in the early 80's, I was asked to be an Adviser to an Explorer Post (a branch of scouting for young adults - both male and female) that was going to devoted to gaming. When the local scouting administration found out that this would include D&D, they shut the whole...

    1d100 Tavern Drinks To Spice Up Your Game!

    Here's one of my favorites that I created for my Primeval Thule campaign: Gröll: A beer brewed by the Nimothans. Served hot on cold days, warmed gröll can also be mixed with bread or grain to make a stand-alone meal... a beer-porridge of sorts. Bill W.

    Jeremy Crawford Talks Xanathar's Horizon Walker

    Here's hoping that there will be a spell-less Ranger in this book, and a spell-less Bard, too... ...I want less magic in my game, not more! It's way easier to house-rule a class (or whatever) to add magic to it, than it is to deconstruct and remove its integral "magicness".

    Dark Conspiracy Returns in 2018…

    Because Aliens. That's what I liked about the 1st edition of this game. The world seemed to be functioning fine & dandy - somewhat "normally" - until you started stumbling on Dark Secrets... Transforming it into just another post-apocalyptic setting doesn't really push my buttons.
