Why the five games chosen for Violent Resolution?
Over on the GURPS Forums, someone wondered why I’d chosen the games I chose. Why those in particular? Well . . . If you’re doing gaming you HAVE to do D&D. Whether it’s D&D5 or Pathfinder is your call, but that was the first big popular system and more or less remains so. D&D is…

Dragon Heresy: Group1, Session 2 – Bandit Camp
Just ran “Group 1” through the second session of the Dragon Heresy playtest campaign.

Pathfinder read-through – Chapter 5: Feats
A retroactive (and oft-repeated) introduction: After an actual-play hiatus where I was mostly writing and playtesting for GURPS. I was invited to play in a Pathfinder game, and after a few sessions, it was time to buy the book and learn the rules! I decided to try and read the Pathfinder rules cover-to-cover and see what inspiration strikes,…

When told the reason for daylight saving time the old Indian said…
‘Only a white man would believe that you could cut a foot off the top of a blanket and sew it to the bottom of a blanket and have a longer blanket.’
Speaking from bright and sunny Arizona, what is this “Daylight Savings Time” you speak of? 😀
We've got plenty of daylight, we see no need to save any.
