Three members of the group opted to go hunting, found a den of wolves and two characters died. The remaining two characters explored the sewer and got a little sick. That's a very brief summary of what happened last Sunday.
I feel a little bad about...

After the (un)death of two key characters in the game, the remaining two (plus one) made their way back to Rome to evaluate what had happened and what their next moves would be.

We had another interesting session. It was a good session, in my mind. What stands out to me more than anything else was the players' willingness to put the roleplay of characters into a different category than the interaction between the players. Jason...

Alexis has a great post up today. He says it's satire, and I suppose it is, too.
Regardless, if any of these things ever happened in one of my games I'd be sure that my players had been replaced with dopplegangers.
I feel that I have brought this on...

I haven't posted my system yet, because there isn't much of one, but here goes. This is not entirely my system. I learned it from a guy named Bob that I gamed with 20-some years ago. He was a good DM and ran a good group and shaped a lot of my DM and pl...

These are five categories that I included on my references worksheet prior to starting this campaign. These categories are in addition to the food, mineral and animal references I've posted in the past. I've never talked about these, but I think now is a...

Discussing the Dungeon
Posted on:

I've had bigger groups in the past and while it was fun, that fun never lasted. Last session I had two remote players and new in-person player. The two new additions worked out very well.

After a successful test of the new Skype beta, I'm happy to add another remote player from Bellinghamburgersandwichwithcheeseandbacon, Dave. Using Skype I can host up to five remote players. I don't know if my Internet connection can handle that kind of ...
