Howdy, folks! I'm not dead and neither is this blog. My first semester as a fulltime grad student has been kicking my ass. I haven't even had a chance to play any D&D since friggin' August. But I did get a draft of my Lamentations of the Flame Princess module to Jim Raggi, though I still need to redraw the maps and maybe take one more quick pass on the text. But it's written.
Anyway, I'm going to try to get back in the saddle with regular updates here. Either later today or tomorrow I'm going to try to work up something on the canonical monster list in B/X D&D. Past that, I'm not sure what I'm going to write about next. Feel free to offer suggestions in the comments.

These chunky pies have a pastry that's a touch too firm for me, tipping
over into a biscuity crunch, of which I am not fond. The filling is much
better, wi...

Naval Combat? Your next ConstantCon game? The Viability of Giant Chinchilla's as mounts?
ReplyDeleteI second naval combat, it's something I'm working on too
DeleteRequest: If you feel like it, go back and chat a bit more about experience from exploration. Pet topic for me, looking for more input from the OSRsphere.
ReplyDeleteAs far as topics go, howsabout sharing something you've learned as a grad student and how it related to gaming? :)

I suggest you write some actual play reports from the G+ Caves of Myrddin game you're about to run.
ReplyDeleteTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Fan-Fic!
ReplyDeleteI'm with JMS.
DeleteLet us know when you are going to playtest Broodmother at the Aerie (or Gopher)!
ReplyDeleteThe card based game of mediocre space captains.
ReplyDeleteMore about Space Captains. Definitely more about Space Captains.
ReplyDeleteOh and good luck at grad school.
Are you running games on g+ again?
ReplyDeleteWelcome back, now I need to get back on my own blog-o-burden.
ReplyDeleteI liked Space Captains too.
ReplyDeleteI dig anything you (or Zak, hint hint) write regarding GMing and at-the-table thoughts/advise/musing.
Hell, go read the 5e stuff on the Wizco site about then rant a few paragraphs. That would be fun.
What's your grad program?
I'm studying for a master's in English Lit at Illinois State Univeristy
DeleteI loved Imperishable Fame. After just having taught my students about Indo-Europeans, Hittites, and Aryans, I feel like kicking some pastoral nomadic butt!
ReplyDeleteTAHT'S OKAE JRIENTS - YUO HAD A GOOD RUN BUT NOW ARE TIME TO RETIER FROM A DEEANDEE BLOG OLDMAN. GO OUT LIKE A BOSS WIHT ONE LAST EPIC POAST!!!1
ReplyDelete-NUNYA
Good luck at grad school. I remember how tough it was, so even though I had missed the blog I certainly understand. I hope it goes well and that you have some time to post.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm just glad you're ok. Was gettin' a little worried. ^ ^;
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to life from a fellow blogzombie ;3
ReplyDeleteGood luck Jeff!
ReplyDeletewas getting real nervous.
ReplyDeleteI am gearing up for a Arrakkis campaign, possibly using Encounter Critical as a ruleset (psi-witches and all that). My take on it is to mix Dune with some French sci-fi ala Rene Laloux (Fantastic Planet, etc), Carcosa, and some typical D&D tropes (maybe sounds like Planet Algol?)
How would you run a Dune campaign?
Glad you're alive, El Jefe.
ReplyDeleteA report on gaming in the steam tunnels under the campus.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you do a Star Wars post. Any thoughts on the news that you might have, but also... whatever happened to your Encounter Critical Star Wars game that you were fired-up about once upon a time? That was cool.
ReplyDeleteHooray! Nice to see you back and alive!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and I'll take a look at anything you post, but notes from your D&D game are always welcome.
