The Edge Bar and Grill wasn’t technically on the edge, as it was inside the safety fence. Adventurer’s League Silverwings Troop was on the outside of that fence, looking down. “I don’t like this,” Foster said. The ranger scuffed his boot against the side, knocking a stone down in to the abyss beyond. “I thought [...]

What D&D campaign doesn’t have the party fighting a rat swarm or dire rats sometime early in the game? As they approached the place the farmers said the rats were, Foster called a halt and sent Lyp on a head to scout. As the halfling disappeared in to the tall wheatgrass, Foster turned to look [...]

Annie watched from the shadows, waited to see if he’d be back today. If so, then good news for her and the old man. People distracted were easy marks, and a bit more ration meant things would be a bit easier for a day. The rich folk who came through the market always seemed to [...]

Okay some people have said that it’s a bit confusing what I’m asking from players for the Shattered Earth game, and as I’m still looking for responses and players, let me clarify: The idea is to mimic table top role-playing style over the internet, in real time.

Two dwarfs, Harriet and Lottie, lay in the magicite field, the purple glow of the crystal trees surrounding them. Mining tools were placed carefully nearby, out of the way and orderly.

“It’s like this,” Jimmy said. ”You wear the gauntlets of orge power, or the belt of giant strength — never both, you hear? You grab a crate, and you toss it up in the air so it falls through the hole. That’s your job, okay?” Lex looked at him. ”Seriously?” He looked down the hole [...]

Here’s the thing: I need more pen and paper tabletop gaming in my life, even if we need to replace the pen and paper with screens and keyboards, and tabletop with Skype. I have a few people who have expressed interest, but I’d like to formalize it and extend it to semi-strangers on the internets. [...]
