Yo!

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.

  2. Request: 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.

  11. I liked Space Captains too.

    I 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?

  12. I loved Imperishable Fame. After just having taught my students about Indo-Europeans, Hittites, and Aryans, I feel like kicking some pastoral nomadic butt!

  14. 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.

  17. was getting real nervous.
    I 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?

    I 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.

  22. Welcome back and I'll take a look at anything you post, but notes from your D&D game are always welcome.
