An Old Description - A Personal History

Doing some quick sweeping up on this website and realized I hadn't updated the description in a while. A long while. Here's what it was:

A private blog for our D&D game. This site is only set up for a select few people to use and post, but if you would like to participate, let us know by posting a comment or creating a username on the forums.

When I started this site back in 2003, it was a partner site to a forum where we were going to run a play-by-post game. Besides me, the "we" in this case was my siblings-in-law, who were both young teens at the time. We had a few one-off sessions and a few posts on the free forum we set up that are lost to time. I was introducing them both to tabletop roleplaying games and having fun.

Since then, they've grown up and the games still continue. One of the twins, Katie is now running a game that I'm playing in. I'm a investigator barbarian (experiment) gnome. My kids also play in games, some of them more than one night a week. Along the way, one of Katie's friends who played her first game at a table I ran went on to get really into the hobby and became a community manager or Wizards of the Coast. I've made new friends playing D&D, and introduced old friends to the games.

This site has rolled along with these changes without really acknowledging them overtly. I've sort of migrated it to my DM musings as well as general #ttrpg news. It's time to update the description.

I'm going to talk about fantasy gaming, Dungeons & Dragons, being a dice goblin, ttrpg in general and my musings as a storyteller and game master. Welcome. I hope you brought snacks.

[VIDEO] A Complete Guide To The Most Misunderstood D&D Setting: Eberron

A massive, MASSIVE Eberron video is presented here from Pointy Hat on YouTube.

Don't miss out on the Pointy Hat's Cyran Folio: Dust and Dreams and also Pointy Hat's website.

I'd like to try Pocket Bard (the video sponsor) as well and post my own review at some point.

[VIDEO] Top 10 Websites That Will Level Up Your D&D Game - Deck of DM Things

The algorithm served me this good video today.

Several of these sites I'd stumbled on in the past, but hadn't really bookmarked them. I also didn't fully appreciate the full features of all of these tools, so I'm glad to get reintroduced to them again. I could do a write-up for each one and some of them should get added to my favorites links in the side column here. I've used the Fantasy Name Generator numerous times for inspiration. I've used Hero Forge to visualize a few PCs. And I've used Reroll for character design a few times also.

I will share the full list directly and leave a more detailed description for next time.

Guinness World Record - Largest D&D Game

The world record for the largest game of D&D with the most participants was set by a store in this mall. They had 200 tables all cooperating and a staggering 1,227 participants. Their original goal was 1,000 and by the end of it they were turning people away.

@teresa_jack This mall was dying… then the nerds moved in. What do you think about this retail experience? #nerdy #nerdymall #dnd #dndtiktok #tabletopgames #anime #animeconvention #cosplay #cosplaygirl ♬ A retro game-style BGM with a hidden meaning(1546779) - mie.
