As always, you can find links to the entire series here. Another quick note: Life Has Intervened, and while I’d still like to do collaborative blog posts with my other three players, they’re going to have to wait until things get a little less crazy. Coiled Among the Rocks The […]
Jenny This article is called “I Don’t Really Care What Gary Gygax Had to Say.” Like so many other articles, has a somewhat misleading title, but the content is quite good. I think I’d have titled it “Please Don’t Use Gary Gygax’s Opinions About Gaming to Try to Prove Someone […]
This was originally going to be the next post in the player collaboration series from my game, but something interesting came up in Grant’s game on Saturday that I wanted to call some attention to. Before I can get to that, though, I need to give some context. Though I’ve […]
Grant YES HELLO HI I AM BACK HOW ARE YOU No, seriously—sorry I’ve been absent from the past couple Weekend Reading posts. Things have been … intense … at work. But who cares? Let’s do this thing! An old gem I found a while back: A Reddit thread with food historians […]

As always, you can find all of the posts in this series here. Warming Up the Engines After about six months of poking at this world (which I still haven’t named – shame on me) I’ve decided to try running a game set in it. Fortunately, assembling my PC group […]
Our Weekend Reading series (brought to you by our Patreon backers) continues with a curated selection of articles—and a few other things—from around the Internet that interested us this week! We’re currently on an every-other-week schedule (again.) Jenny Through my regular internet browsings, I came across a lovely short comic about angels titled Gloria! […]
As usual, all of the posts in this series are collected here. A couple of notes: This post supersedes a couple of previous posts in the series. In particular, this covers the salvific events of the campaign world and its messianic figures, and it also removes Oath of Vengeance as […]
