Some time ago I wrote about a Kickstarter I was backing Mass Transit IV Maps and More. I was really excited following the project, seeing him reach his goal and the stretch goals....
I have played Magic: The Gathering almost as long as I have been playing RPGs. There have been a few long pauses as time, money, or interest have flagged, but it is always...
I want to start by saying that I apologize for any harm I caused by my last post. The original “open letter” has been written while I was angry and frustrated, something you...
The following is some kind of open letter that I wrote on Google+ a while ago. In the light of recent events I decided to repost it here. If you are interested in...

Yesterday the D&D Next playtest package has been made available – at least for the lucky few who were able to download them. It seems WotC’s bad luck streak when it comes to...
Repeatedly people have asked me to write an article about German roleplaying games. I have to admit I avoided to write this post for a long time, mainly because I don’t feel that...
Yesterday I attended the Role Play Convention 2012 in Cologne. I actually didn’t intend to go there at all but then I had the opportunity to join Marcus Burggraf (aka ChaoticGM) and his...
