Yesterday, I got to play my first ever Pathfinder 2e game. I picked up a Pathfinder bundle aeons ago, but never really looked at it since although we were going to play Pathfinder next (this was after a years-long 3.5 edition campaign wrapped up), about half the gaming group had children and if that, as … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Preprinted Adventures (or, “Store-bought is fine!”)

Tabletop Tuesday — Frosthaven Arrives! (Or, “It all fits back in the box!”)
It's here! Okay, so it will be a surprise to absolutely no one that when Frosthaven arrived, I did a squee. I'm fairly certain, in fact, that the squee was so intense it knocked squirrels from the trees and made the dog flee the room. Then I tried to lift the box from my front … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Frosthaven Arrives! (Or, “It all fits back in the box!”)

Tabletop Tuesday — Story Engine, or “What to do when your idea well dries up before a session” (part two)

The first, the Deck of Worlds, … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Story Engine, or “What to do when your idea well dries up before a session” (part two)
Tabletop Tuesday — Deck of Worlds, or “What to do when your idea well dries up before a session.”
Right now, I'm narrating three campaigns, though one of them is in a holding pattern. I'll be running a Mutants & Masterminds one-shot for an upcoming charity play (check out Bag of Giving, by the way), and I've got two Star Trek Adventures campaigns ongoing, like I mentioned last week. And while I'm generally Mr. … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Deck of Worlds, or “What to do when your idea well dries up before a session.”
Tabletop Tuesday — Supporting Characters, or “The O’Brien Effect”
Hey! It's Tuesday, so it's time to talk nerdily about games. Over the past few months, I've been running two Star Trek Adventures games, a Tabletop Role Playing Game put out by Modiphius, and I have to say I've been freaking loving it. Both my games are currently set in 2371—which is the first season … Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday — Supporting Characters, or “The O’Brien Effect”
