The Dolent City@thedolentcity.bsky.social · 2d agoThis Game Demands a 200 HP Dragon After last night's 4e game, I felt the need to rant. The session didn't go how I wanted. Who is to blame? Me? The players? The system? A little bit of each I think. www.thedolentchronicle.com/posts/this-g...
That was surreal. I’m not supposed to be older than anybody Oh well, jazz was fun, grandpa Nikita approves

The next time you sit down to start writing a list of 10 gods and 1 evil god, stop. Don't do that. Do this instead. Get 3-6 friends who play RPGs that aren't part of your current campaign. These are your setting's gods. riseupcomus.blogspot.com/2026/08/the-...
