Opportunity Actions: Blog Like It’s The End Of The World ’11 Timeline
This past Monday was “Blog Like It’s The End Of The World”, a yearly event where people pretend the zombie apocalypse has struck. I participated in it last year (right here at RPGMusings, no less), and have decided to make a tradition of it. This year, I posted both to Twitter and Facebook. I’m including [...]
Why You Should Be Reading The D&D Comic
There’s a perception, both outside the gamer community and to some extent within it, that all roleplaying fans are also comic nerds. It’s not always an accurate assumption, even if there does tend to be a lot of overlap. I’m what you could call a casual comic book fan, as are many of my friends. [...]

Opportunity Actions: Dwarves of Shallowgorge – Campaign Builder
Deciding that it’s never too soon to turn a compelling story into a game, I’m moving forward with a campaign model involving miners trapped in a collapse. I’m going to walk through my process, detailing elements that inspire me. My next post about this will be an actual campaign outline going from start to finish.
