What another table personality article? Hello, again folks, I know it has been a bit since I have written with the electronic quill. There are few reasons for this. I have been back and forth at the VA (Veteran’s Hospital here in the USA) with various health issues. I have also been very busy on the side with working on …
What’s On Your Shelf?: More than Chirine’s Workbench
View PostWelcome to the Abandoned Land: The Compleat Arduin and the legacy of Dave Hargrave
The jump to Arduin took it out of me. I arrived in an alley of the city of Talismonde shaking from the effort. Arduin is one of the most distant of the planes of imagination, and there is no easy road to take there. Even the talismans of passage–never exactly common–have become coveted, prized, nigh-impossible to come by. Fog …
Modern Gamer: Kickstarters and gaming, the Good, the Bad and the Ugly!

Nerdy Nummies-A Real Serious Cookbook
There have been a number of cookbooks that use geek/nerd culture as their gimmick. Including official Star Wars books. What caught my attention with Rosanna Pansino’s The Nerdy Nummies Cookbook is before the book even gets into the recipes. She writes how she’s a visual learner and has therefore arranged the book to be easier for visual learners. If you …
Always Room for Gelatinous Cube DIY
Don’t ask me why I find the gelatinous cube to be an amusing monster. It’s anything but amusing if your party encounters one, yet I have a love for them anyway. I’m guessing it’s due to being a part-time DM (and despite being a part-time Player). So, I was delighted to find a Youtube video by user Blandco with instructions …
