I realized the other day that I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks. 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
The players in my Pathfinder game came across the Face in the Mountain earlier tonight, an ancient being from before the time that magic was split into arcane and divine. It answered one question from each of them, replying in riddles. I know that most of my players didn’t write down the riddles, so this […] Read more

This is, instead, intended for my Pathfinder players. This is a visual representation of some of the stuff found when the players went through […] Read more
The Pathfinder game started last Saturday. It went well, though it was a little slow at first. I had the brilliant idea of having the characters start separate from each other in several different groups, which turned out to not work so well, but as soon as everyone met up and introduced themselves things started […] Read more
A (not particularly detailed) map of my campaign world. Click on the picture to make it larger so you can actually read the stuff written on it. Warning: the file is kind of big. Read more
A vote was held last week on what we wanted to play next quarter. The decision was that everyone wanted to play a new D&D-style campaign set in the same world as the old one. So, while it looks like we’re not going to be revisiting the adventures of our former party of characters, we […] Read more
It occurs to me that I haven’t posted anything on here in some time. Let’s remedy that with this picture and short discussion of the enigmatic figure known to the players of my D&D game as “Mr. Rich.” I put the name in quotation marks because it is likely that this is an alias of […] Read more
