I don’t that often rely on adventures written by others, usually I try to come up with my own stuff. But once in a while, especially when I am not feeling particular creative...
In the first post on this blog I actually said that I won’t be writing about computer games here. Today I want to make an exception from this rule. I have been an...
Being the game master, dungeon master, referee, storyteller, or whatever you may call that special position can be a lot of fun. But it also carries with it a certain amount of pressure,...
Recently I noticed a discussion on Google+ about whether gamers prefer PDFs or printed books. This subject crops up from time to time and I noticed that with the greater availability of tablet...
