I play in a Roll20/Google Hangout AD&D first edition game. We recently started back and forth strings of alliteration in our online comments about write ups of our sessions, etc. I took it much farther than the others. One player posted a link to a poster of a blind monk on a blind beholder, to … Continue reading Alliteration Through The Monster Manual, A to Z.
Someone on my G+ post about Saturday’s blog post about prepping to launch a Patreon said they’d like to know what my process is. I will endeavor to lay out how ideas come to me.

(I am thinking of Bugs Bunny facing one of the … Continue reading YOLO
