A fun thing about roleplaying games is that some of my oldest and most cherished shared memories with friends are of events that never happened.
“Remember when we [insert illegal, deranged, impossible, probably violent shenanigans]?”
“Yeah, that was awesome!”

The first and only time I played the Toon RPG was when I was a freshman in high school, at a sleepover party with a bunch of friends.
It was at an age where everybody is trying to be cool and all grown up, but it was an absolute blast and everybody got really into it […]

I’ve mentioned before that I like including helpful undead in my Mörk Borg games as a sort of curve ball tossed at the players.
But I also like making them the most *cheerful* NPCs the player’s meet. That just feels right to me. The worst has already happened, they’re dead. They’re now outside […]

I’m tempted by the new version of Apocalypse World, but ambivalent.
The most successful RPG campaign I’ve EVER run was with AW 2e. I suspect that was a one-time lightning in a bottle situation and that any attempt to run it again is doomed to be a disappointment […]
