Sharing the things I love!
Merry Christmas, Happy Yule, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa and Happy New Year to you. I m still alive and kicking, although life has been kicking me around more than usual. 2025 has been rough. I m hoping 2026 has better days to come.
Whooboy Now I know why I like the 1977 LBBs simple, quick and not a lot of thought, unless you wanted to deep dive into things. CT77 doesn t have rules for grenades. That s kind of funny, considering Marc Miller was an Army grunt like me, but :shrug: One my players in my Battlestar Galactica [ ]
I ve had this question occur a number of times in my campaigns and it just happened this week for my on-going Dungeon23 campaign. This campaign sticks to the 1974 OD D rules, no supplements or other bits. If I use a reference, it s usually going back to Chainmail to get inspiration and a sense of what [ ]
There s a moment, about an hour before sunrise and standing outside, that I feel a hush and an anticipation. It s as if nature is gathering itself, opening its eyes and getting ready.

When I set out to run a game based on Battlestar Galactica, Classic Traveller was my first place to go to find a system that I could use to enable the setting. I d never run CT, only dreamed about it back in 1978 as I read through the Little Black Books. With no experience, I [ ]

She stepped forward nervously, and then a strange, mechanical [ ]
Early May is less than 3 weeks away, and a lot of planting is going to happen! I ve got my community garden plot and my own backyard container garden for vegetables for the family. I started planning back in January. I set up that my goal would be to grow mostly vegetables that are storable [ ]
My game sessions these days run at about 2 to 2 1/2 hours, every other week. That s just the reality of online/remote gaming and our busy lives. I m grateful for the time I do get to play, and I definitely don t want to waste players sessions! Recently, we had a very intense series of sessions [ ]
I recently purchased a Hawk Kwik-Grab Crossbow stand. I found it hard to hang the crossbow like a regular bow while in a tree and retrieve it as easily as a bow. It s not easy to keep a crossbow in the lap and I don t like putting it on the ground when I m in a [ ]
There may have been a scene recently in my AD D campaign that looked a little like this The PCs stumbled onto a map of a treasure location. The note that accompanied the map gave clues that this was a rich haul. How hard could a few kobold bandits be? thought the PCs and off they [ ]
