Out Of Ideas

Okay, I’m just gonna level with folks: I don’t have anything to write about tonight. It’s, like, a quarter past 8 p.m. and I just finished the work I started at 7:30 this morning. I haven’t really thought about what to write today. I kicked around a couple of ideas before I sat down; I

Wait, Do I… Like Batman?

I do not, generally speaking, think of myself as a “Batman guy.” When it comes to superhero comics–and especially DC comics–a lot of people are either Superman Fans or Batman Fans. I’m a Superman Fan. I love Big Blue because he’s an aspirational character: he’s good. Always. That gives me so much joy and so

Old Growth, Part 3

Heya, folks! Let’s check back in with our brave party of Lionel, Grell, and Valeryn, shall we? When last we left off, the trio had fought there way through a camp infested by mold-monsters and zombies. Unpleasant stuff! As our third session picked up, the group spotted a strange figure staring at them from the

Marvel Champions: Wasp Breakdown

Folks! I’ve been reading a lot of comic books and you know what that means: it’s time to talk about my favorite comic book card game, Marvel Champions! Today I’m talking about the unstoppable Wasp, Nadia Van Dyne! As a reminder, these breakdowns don’t cover Aspect cards or strategy, they’re mostly about how well the

A Quick Post

Hey, so, guess who felt so yucky yesterday that they wrote this up and then forgot to post it? Oops! Alright, so, I held off on writing this post ahead of time because I intended to write it about the third session of my current campaign, which I just held last night. Spoilers: it was

Old Growth, Part 2

Last week I wrote about the first session of my new campaign. This week, I wanted to follow up by talking about session 2! We picked up right after the big cursed wolf fight, and I have to say, I was a little touched by the way the characters reacted to what had happened; Grell

Old Growth, Part 1

It’s happening! My glorious return to the world of tabletop games if finally happening! Over the last few weeks I’ve managed to run two sessions of my new campaign, “Old Growth.” Today, I want to talk a little bit about how the campaign is going so far and how I’m adjusting to running things again.

Building Superman in Pathfinder 2E

I love creators like Monster Monday and Danger Rooms & Dragons that use tabletop systems like Pathfinder 2E and D&D 5E to create beloved pop culture characters (and monsters). I decided I’d push myself a little bit and try my hand at doing something similar. As a challenge to myself, I decided to try to

Starting a New Campaign Tonight

I’m going to keep this one a little bit short because, frankly, I’m feeling a little anxious today and I want to distract myself with something other than writing my ostensibly-TTRPG-themed blog. Why am I anxious, you ask? Well, because I’m actually starting my Old Growth campaign tonight. It’s going to be the first time

Revisiting Marvel’s Avengers

I have been comic book-ing like crazy lately. I’ve been reading every Tim Drake story I can; I bought some DC: Future State trades; I’ve been all about superheroes, basically. So, when a friend of mine wanted to hang out and play some Marvel’s Avengers the other night, I thought it sounded like a good
