I’ve gotten some unsettling news, on top of all the pandemic induced issues of the last several weeks. My last two annual physicals my PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) has been elevated. Since it stayed elevated, my doctor advised I see a urologist. The urologist said if it was him, he’d have a biopsy instead of … Continue reading Revising Plans→
Last night, I re-join the group I played with in a four year AD&D [Affiliate Link] campaign, Graveyard of Empires, Wednesdays on Roll20. We transitioned to Stars Without Number [Affiliate Link], in the campaign A Plague of Angels, after the conclusion of the AD&D [Affiliate Link] campaign. I had too many life things going on … Continue reading A “Return” To Gaming→

Gary Con XI in 2019 was yet another awesome experience! Here’s the companion podcast episode. I rode with Steve Fridsma, from Grand Rapids, MI who I met last year. We were supposed to play in two AD&D [Affiliate Link] games, but the first one was unexpectedly cancelled, so I offered to run the Gamma World … Continue reading Gary Con XI Recap→
I purchased the G+ Exporter license for $20 to get unlimited downloads on December 22, 2018. While Google has the feature Google Takeout, it has issues and does not easily do what one wants. It has a default option of HTML, but the HTML is far from W3C compliant. JSON is the other option, but … Continue reading G+ Exporter mini-review→

I plan to continue running games at every convention I attend. Gamehole Con was the same weekend as UCon. Since I go to Gary Con over Marmalade Dog, … Continue reading 2018 – YEAR OF GAMING IN REVIEW→
Over the years, I have written about the Wednesday night AD&D game on Roll20. This past Wednesday, after 4.5 years, 1 year to the day in game time, and 221 Sessions we finally faced the big bad and won. I shared some of my thoughts about this on the podcast here. I find it only … Continue reading End of a Campaign→
My last post was about the 9th anniversary of the blog, which was yesterday, July 18th. Another cool event yesterday, in addition to session 210 of the Wednesday night AD&D game on Roll20 was the release of The Black Isle, AKA Eilean Dubh. The Black Isle is the fruit of an OSR collaborative project that … Continue reading The Black Isle Released!→
Wow! Nine years ago, July 18, 2009, I posted my first post on the blog. Internet outage prevented this article going out yesterday on the actual anniversary. A large truck drove by and broke the line for my DSL yesterday afternoon, and it didn’t get fixed until today. I hadn’t started an article yet, so … Continue reading 9 Years of The Blog→

Some just need to be deleted, and others I need to figure out what I was trying to say and finish the post. I’m not sure … Continue reading 2017 In Review→
