    I do have to wonder how many of us started that way: presented with a cool-looking rulebook that we got a couple of mechanics out of and then just winged everything else for years. I feel like I learned most of the rules from B/X and 1st Edition via osmosis. Didn't keep us from having a great...

    Welcome, Greg! I'm a Portlander, too. Living on a farm sounds idyllic, perhaps because I've never done so myself, but living in the country looks lovely. I've been breaking into solo gaming a bit myself, though I have difficulty sticking with it since I'm easily distracted and have a LOT of...

    Thank you, Stephan! I've had a very pleasant birthday weekend thus far, celebrating the last year of my 40s with some delicious BBQ ribs. I hope you've been enjoying Curse of Strahd! We've just recently finished the first chapter, "Death House," and I've found the gothic horror atmosphere of...

    Out of curiosity, @ExileInParadise , what do you use Sections, Pluses, Minuses and Free for? I'm intrigued by your use of "Sandbox" here.

    Quotation Marks and Link Syntax Issues

    Yesterday I started using Campaign Logger on my iPhone's Safari browser. For the most part, it's working splendidly. However, I've noticed a problem in that it doesn't recognize quotation marks as a way of containing a single tagged term. For example, I'll enter: @"Archmage Uthellon Aermaruil"...

    How to write Session Summaries

    Here's the template I've been using for my CL Log entries: Title: [Module Code] [Session # for this Module] [Session Title] Ordering: [Session #] Session #: [Module Code + Session #] Real World Session Date: [mm/dd/yyyy] Who's Coming: [Player names] In-Game Calendar Start: %mm/dd/yyyy 0000...

    I didn’t change the colors for a long time since I’m perfectly happy with all orange. However, since the option is there, I figured I’d have some fun with it. Here are the name and color changes I went with: @ Dramatis Personae I wanted to choose a red hue to indicate my cast of characters...

    How to write Session Summaries

    As much as I would like to write up what is essentially a novelization-style recap of the session for my players, I simply don’t have the time (and my ADHD makes it harder to be a good steward of the time I do have). Much of the time I end up waiting until the last minute to type something up...

    Nobody's here except me so far. I may manage to make converts of the others, though, since almost all of us also GM and are looking for a good central hub site to share campaign information. Short, relatively spoiler-free versions, though: D&D 5th Edition Greyhawk campaign, set in the Yeomanry...

    Hello, everyone! I'm Devin (he/him), 49 years old in April, with a Bachelor's Degree in Comic Art that I'm still paying off. Hi. I've been a GM since almost the very beginning of my gaming hobby way back in the early 80s when my parents bought my older brother and me the Moldvay Red Box Basic...

    Well, you know, Silent Hill isn't so much a place you come from as a place that you go to. Or, rather, that comes to you. That said, I'm in Oregon, so no stranger to fog!

    I stumbled upon the option entirely by chance and decided to take a wild stab at it. 😄
