Process Map Campaign Design
One of my players has been working on learning to GM and has been asking me questions about my writing processes. I’ll be honest, my processes are few – there’s not much to my GM’ing beyond “tell a good story”. The way I run my games varies pretty widely depending on the group, system and […]
Campaign idea I’ll never use – Ex Machina
The party is comprised of scientists, military technology experts, etc. The game begins with everyone in a helicopter over a jungle being given a briefing – they’re about to be dropped into an extremely remote testing facility where artificial humanoids have been living in an isolated commune. The company wants a full study of AI […]
Home Made GM Screen

Last summer, Ben Gerber of Troll in the Corner posted about his Extra Life team and mentioned that he was looking for more members and I thought it sounded like great […]
On Podcasts
I complain about podcasts a lot because I listen to a lot of podcasts. It’s amazing how many podcasters can’t do the basics of podcasting – turn off the TV/radio in the background, edit out your long pauses, and tag your fucking files properly – and no, “show-####-####” isn’t a proper tag scheme. That said, […]
Zombies in the Snow
A while back, a good friend of mine was getting fired up with his transition from film-making hobbyist to film making professional. He started an ambitious project to do 12 film works in a year and somehow, I forget the exact circumstances, I ended up working with him on a script for a 6-part episodic […]
Buy GENERALA!
GENERALA has been available on my games site for a while now. Recently I updated the system with poisons and bard skills, and a new dungeon is in the works. All of the documents, from character sheet to covers, got updates. I got more downloads since the update than the previous version got in its […]
Bard-en your horizons!
If you’ve been thinking to yourself, “Man, I’d really like to play GENERALA, but what that game is really missing is an obnoxious support character class” then have we got some big news for you! GENERALA Bard Skills are here! Honestly, I can think of nothing more appropriate to the ridiculous, over-the-top play of GENERALA […]
