Why so silent? Well I'm starting a new venture, a 3D terrain venture which will be coming up on Kickstarter in the next month or so, here's a little teaser... Yes, it's on a 1-1/2" riser, and it is lit by LEDs from below... (Buildings are from the District 0012 Kickstarter)

All, Don't misconstrue my silence. As the father of 1/4 black children, I am 100% Black Lives Matter; one of them being in transition, and 100% Trans Lives Matter. I'm planning on doing a Special edition of Meanderings, with paid content by Black authors and artists. I accept acknowledge my white privilege.

If you're still watching this blog... Meanderings #4 is imminent, final piece of art for the Midaes patron is done, all that remains is wrapping up the sheet numbers, creating the PDFs, and finishing the cover text. It should be finalized before the New Year. In other news, I'm proceeding full speed ahead with a Kaer Crawl Classics design document, and to help me with the design between

I will be giving the blog an overhaul. What started out at a journey with my kids, has blossomed into publishing and all sorts of wonderful opportunities. My kids are turning 20 next week, they game with the friends that they got into gaming. Several of their friends are amazing GMs in their own right. Stay tuned. It's not going to be a quick overhaul as I'm a really busy person.

Well there's only so many hours in the day and after being sick, frankly the blog just took a nosedive. I'm back on my feet with Meanderings, with Issue 4 nearly complete (just need to finalize the art for the CS. Get a spot piece of art complete, finalize layout, and get is printed....easy right?) Issue 5 has some articles already under in work. Meandering the Streets of Bastion will be

There were so many great games I saw at Kingdom Con X. I'll just give a quick coverage of each.) First up: Zone Raiders - By Fractal Basilisk Studios (Tony Xiao)  (From the Kickstarter website) Zone Raiders is a fast-paced tabletop skirmish game where small groups of hardened survivors battle against each other in an unforgiving post-technological world called the Matroshka.

It is sad news that I post about Bob's passing. I found out on Saturday with my DCC game, that Bob passed on Tuesday, 3/12/19. I only knew Bob from the few games of DCC I ran at Gaming on Grand. He was a good guy, always helpful to new players and fun to game with. I will be memorializing his character from my game in the next issue of Meanderings. Topher the Gambler will become an Eternal

   If you've played Savage worlds before, and used Multiple Actions, you know exactly how disruptive those multiple attacks can be to the entire table. The guy who is built for combat will often go before everyone and waste most of the field before others can even get to act, in Savage Rifts it can be even worse, with Split the Seconds, and so many bonuses to offset those multi-action

G+ is in the final throws of death. So I'll be starting to post on the blog once more. Today, Savage Worlds, specifically Savage Rifts. If I've learned anything from DCCRPG it's that the dice chain is a wonderful tool. Savage Rifts is amazing, but it can be a bit broken...just a bit. Once you get to adding +4 to +6 to a roll, well you're automatically hitting effectively...But what if we put

So picked up Conan - Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of from Modiphius in a trade on Goblin Emporium recently. Once I started making a character (The first best step in learning a system), I realized, I need something to track this process. Here's a link to the Google Doc I'm using for character creation tracking. Conan - A Spreadsheet Undreamed

It just came to my attention that there is a new game store in North County. Gaming on Grand Located at: 237 W. Grand Ave Escondido, CA 92025 I haven't had a chance to visit it yet. From their pictures it appears to be a store which needs more stock. They do have an associated meetup group already for 5e DnD...I'll have to introduce them to the goodness of Goodman Games!

So who's playing? Man I've been playing quite a bit since launch. This week however it will be back to writing. I'll be on Destiny 2 occasionally. I play on PS4, as Whiplash1138 add me, add something geeky to the message so I know you're not a random stranger. When I was wandering around investigating lore, I ran across the Future War Cult area, wonder when they arrive? When does Xur arrive?
