A couple of days ago I mentioned that my wife and I played hooky this past weekend on Friday, but then on Saturday we did some more things, one of which I would never have expected to do if you’d asked me about it a couple of years ago.

A long time ago: A Star Wars Story
This past weekend, my wife and I played hooky and headed out to a local gaming store, the Compleat Strategist in King of Prussia, PA. And therein lies a story…
My Morning, revisted.
Trigger Warning: medication, illness, discussion of mental illness.
A few years ago I did a post about things I had to do in the morning, and since that’s changed, I thought I’d update it a bit.
The D&D World I’m Building: The Magnificent Mimic Inn and Tavern
Near the Traveler’s Gate, the most used entrance to the Imperial capitol city of Calliasha, on the Grand Boulevard that runs from the Gate to the Imperial Palace, there is a tavern and inn called the Magnificent Mimic. It is actually run by, and partially formed by, a mimic colony that decided there were better ways to get what they wanted, and it’s a very popular destination.
Taeliana, The D&D World I’m Building: The Gods
So, like entirely too many D&D gamerunners, I’m in the process of building my own game world for running adventures in.
Transitions: It’s been a while. And what a while it’s been.
I know it has. I haven’t posted in a few years. And there are a lot of reasons.
- A dearth of creative flow.
- Mental health issues.

The Final Run – A Shadowrun Universe Story
Gregory Darwin – Grondanar – was my first Shadowrun character. Strong and huge, we joked that if they made a prebuilt archetype for him it would be “Troll Bunker”. He carried a huge backpack so that when the team mage inevitably passed out from spellcasting, we could just put him into the rucksack and keep going until he woke up. He also got some bioware to increase his intelligence, took some correspondence courses, got a license for real estate, laundered a lot of his gains as Grondanar to the accounts of Gregory Darwin, and ended up getting into construction.
By current game year of 2080, though, he’s pretty elderly for a troll, and I thought it would be nice to start a campaign by making one of his fondest wishes come true.
Making It Work – a story of The Night
And finally, she rested.
Wrong Turn – an Eiko story
The moment she woke up, Eiko Takashima knew things were weird.
She was lying on something that was hard, warm, and slightly angled. In fact, her feet were hanging off into space. Her face was warm, her eyelids had light shining through them, and her hands felt oddly heavy. She then remembered that she was wearing the BREAQER gauntlets, and then the memory came flooding back.
