Getting Away From What We Were

To Escape What We Hated Being I just caught wind of Elon Musk firing shots on CNBC. I wasn’t appalled. I wasn’t bowled over. I did, however, smile. Before you hop into my comments whether for or against Elon, let me explain something to you all. Some of you have forgotten the powerful tool called […]

On The Subject of Reason

In Defense of Fellow Chuds I want everyone reading this and, honestly, it’s time a lot of this was just put out there. I know there will be those that refuse to listen or play some kind of whataboutism games but I won’t be playing along at all. I’ve mentioned certain things in the tabletop […]

The Counsel of The Wise

Heeding Wisdom Can Guide You On The Path You’ve Chosen For Yourself In addition to being a full advocate for reclaiming your power and authority rather than just willfully or even unwittingly forking it over to the first, second, third or even fourth person to claim secret knowledge of the truth that’s out there, I […]

Some Paths Have To Be Your Own

Why Answering To Someone Else’s Standards Can Be Foolish Author’s Note: Before I begin, I finally decorated the altar for the Yule Season. I know, it’s just a tree but, when operating on a small scale such as this, every symbol, every thing you put down has to be toward maximizing what you have. I […]

Old Man Screams Into The Void

Purity Tests Now In The OSR? I was going through Dark Places & Demogorgons (pictured above) and reading through the types of kids that stereotypically existed back in the 1980s. Keep in mind, in the 80s, I was just a kid. Not even high school kid, just a kid. I was going through grade school […]

The Luring of The Innocents.

A Savage Journey Into The Heart of Cha’altian Triumph. I’m leading out with this picture again because I’m gonna remind you that the Cha’alt hardcover books are $130 shipped for the entire trilogy and you will get the PDFs to accompany them and that’s an all-inclusive price. Why is that important to the story I’m […]

Let's Talk About Cha'alt

A Look Into Venger Satanis’ Weird World. Pictured: Cha’alt Hardcovers. Cha’alt, Cha’alt: Fuchsia Malaise & Cha’alt: Chartreuse Shadows. Let’s face it, these days, the mainstay of Tabletop RPGs, it can be pretty grim-looking when you’re sitting at a table only to find that it’s populated with people you just weren’t expecting to be sitting with. […]

Just Keep On Swimmin', Everyone…

Why I Think We Have Better Days Ahead. Everywhere we look, the news is just dire, grim, dark, and, if every major outlet is to be believed, doom, destruction and a holocaust are on the way. Might as well pack it in. Give up. Throw in the towel. Tap out. It’s over and done. Auf […]

Tabletop Role-Playing: Therapeutic or Therapy?

Why Projection of False Responsibilities On The GM Can Take A Bad Turn Author’s Note: Before I kick this article off, I wanted you all to know that this game and it’s soundtrack are back in stock. It’s a fun game called Skate Wizards and you can get everything seen here, including PDF of the […]

The Panderstone Effect In Gaming

Why Neutering Pronouns In Games Isn’t “Inclusive” As Advertised There was a time where I’d have highly recommended that you play Dungeon Crawl Classics and even Mutant Crawl Classics. Goodman Games has done astounding work. Both DCC and MCC respectively are not only compatible with each other but they stay true to the 1970s Dungeons […]
