Your Dice Will Betray You – Shattered Glass
Shattered Glass by Christopher Chancy

Evolution of a Role-Player
In a fantasy world, paths can lead anywhere for an adventurer. The paths I have taken in my own adventures have led me to change. Over the decades I have spent in role-playing games, Continue reading “Evolution of a Role-Player”
Alignment Confinement
Giving credit where credit is due: a big thanks to my good friend, Kenneth Gerety, for the title Alignment Confinement. You are a Wordsmith.
Good vs. Evil. Light vs. Dark. Order vs. Chaos. Human vs. Monster. Struggle and conflict are bread and butter in role-playing games. The strongest and most prevalent of these is most likely Good vs. Evil. So what spins one’s moral compass in a role-playing game? Continue reading “Alignment Confinement”

This is how I came to start playing Dungeons & Dragons on Roll20.net. Continue reading “Dungeons & Dragons on Roll20.net”

The Crackle of Dice
The crackle of dice as they roll across a table-top…
It is a sound like no other, familiar to all who engage in pen-and-paper role-playing games, which combine the turn-based strategy format of mainstream board games with the dramatic elements of improvisational, round robin style, storytelling. Continue reading “The Crackle of Dice”
Hey – It’s Your Turn Again
Player attention – sometimes it can be a bit difficult to maintain at the game table. Players aren’t always in the game 100%. There are unavoidable interruptions – pets or children want attention and sidebar discussions take place. That is okay – real life matters. When a group sits down to play though, there’s the expectation that adventuring and role-playing will take place. Stories are meant to be told, after all. Stay with me on this… Continue reading “Hey – It’s Your Turn Again”
