A TTRPG Blog Worth Considering
Fearful Fun In The Fog Fatherfog is the latest offering from Tuesday Knight Games, being a fairytale horror adaptation of the Mothership "Panic Engine."

So, I was excited when I first heard this was coming, and I'm happy I was able to get it to the table this week…
Musings on Mistakes Made in the Woods Last week I was hiking in the jungle on Guam for work. We were looking to relocate archaeological sites that hadn't been visited in a long time based on 15-year-old GPS data. As one does, I was thinking a lot while out there about how to apply my experiences hiking to exploration in old-school adventure games. There's a lot to think of there, like how much it…

This is my final entry to the current blog bandwagon before it closes soon. I previously posted a keyed version of the incredible map Amanda Lee Franck did for this bandwagon and also a consideration of the way ocean navigation is handled in the module XSOLO: Lathan's Gold. I thought those would be my only contributions this round, but then Typhoon Sinlaku hit the island where I live, and I was…

Post-Typhoon Mini Review I'm making this post to keep up with my weekly review series but, Saipan, the island where I live, was struck by Super Typhoon Sinlaku this past week and we're still in recovery mode here, so this is going to be a very short one. My family is fortunate that, while we had some flooding in our house from a broken window, we were able to clean up quickly, and we're doing OK…
