For this Tabletop RPG post, I want to focus on tips for DMs/GMs who want to build their own fantasy worlds. I've built my own fantasy worlds since the mid-1990s, and I've learned from my mistakes as well as from the successes of others. So, as I work to create a new homebrew setting for D … Continue reading World Building 1: Start Small
I've been stewing over this piece for some time now, and it's something that has been prompted by the backlash Matthew Mercer has gotten for the death of the beloved character, Mollymauk Tealeaf.

Let's be honest, we're all tired of being big damned heroes who save the world from the forces of darkness, right? Slaying dragons, hurling balls of fire that wreak havoc on our enemies, and decapitating foes with a vorpal blade is old helmet. True heroes with an adventurous spirit want to live the exiting, suspense-filled … Continue reading Recettear: An Item Shop’s Tale – Steamed Games
There are few mobile games I enjoy playing, and this little game, Hoppenhelm, is one of them.
