Near the beginning of my (now almost over) internship in New York City, I spent two weeks reading through nearly every Shadowrun book I have on PDF. The motherboard on my gaming laptop had died, and my backup computer is almost ten years old (can’t play games, can’t connect to the wifi, etc), so there […] Read more
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on this blog. I make no excuses, other than I’ve been busy. Busy with an internship that I’ve been meaning to post about, busy with living in New York City (also meant to post about that), busy with Borderlands 2 and a dozen other things. I’m not running […] Read more
A couple of gentlemen from a game I’m running. The one on the left is, at present time, deceased. Read more
This song is sung in the Shattered Lands, quietly, trying not to be heard by the local warlord’s men. Oh, there’s soldiers in the street tonight When the warlord comes to town Lock the door and close the shade When petty kings come down. They’ll take your coin and you’ll be glad They […] Read more

This has been for a number of reasons–I’ve been trying to get a job for the summer, I’ve been working on Blood Coin Days, I’ve been writing up article pitches and submitting them to Cracked.com–but I figured all that was no […] Read more
We’re going to be playing Shadowrun in the fall, a game that I have wanted to try for a long time now. Knowing that we’re going to be playing it, and having heard that learning the system is like picking up a second job, a bunch of us got a head start on character creation. […] Read more
So I wake up today and see this posted as a comment on my About page. Hey man! My name is Oliver Raymond, I’m from Melbourne, Australia, And I fucking dig your Gutterpunk setting, I’m interested in how you run your urban adventures, as I’m intending on starting up a gritty, low-magic, urban fantasy campaign […] Read more
I think I’ve figured out what my summer project is going to be. More details will be forthcoming. In the meantime, I’ve drawn this. This drawing/ad/cover/thing is, in fact misdirection. The character pictured does not use a sword in this particular story (or at least she doesn’t in the current draft). Consider it a character […] Read more
