Old Files and Transitory Thoughts

When I first started getting into playing role-playing games back fourteen years ago I tended to go online a lot searching for articles that I could use and that would inspire my imagination and improve my games. Often I would copy these into a folder I lovingly called my "DM Toolbox." The thing is that after fourteen years the Toolbox has become more akin to a junk drawer filled with all kinds of odds and ends than anything useful. 

I need to remedy that.

My plan is to explore some of those resources on here every so often and see if the articles are still worth using or if they should be deleted off my hard drive altogether. You'll be able to tell when I'm doing these articles as they'll be indexed as "GM Toolbox" on the blog. This should make it easier for people to search them. 

More later.

We Were Strange Before You Thought it Was Cool

I was sitting down this evening and thinking about playing Dungeons & Dragons when it occurred to me that I hadn't done a Greyhawk poster in a while. So I figured that I should fix that tonight.

The question though remains: how do we bring more eyes to Greyhawk? How do we get Dungeon Masters who have never plumbed its depth to start exploring it's caverns, forgotten citadels, and foreboding tombs?

Silly Elf Games and Bullshit Schedules are Meant to Fall Apart

There are nights, like tonight, when I find myself wondering what the fuck I'm doing with my life. I have a full time, regular, job which has allowed me to be able to provide for my family. And that's wonderful. It is. But I spend a lot of time worrying about things that don't matter and that only hamstring my efforts to be better at this life thing.

There isn't really a point here. I'm just worrying about things that I can't control and the things that I can are just causing my head to ache.

Anyway.

I'm thinking that I'm going to just do things that make me happy creatively for the next few weeks and then I'll try something else. 

Life, Mother Fucker. Life

Well I Just had Tremendous Fun on The Greyhawk Channel!

Did the show on the Greyhawk Channel. Had a lot of fun even though my microphone had me sounding like a hillbilly Kermit the Frog. Still fun.
