Into the Glacier
I’m excited to share an actual play video of Planetary Convulsionary Evolutionary Dungeons & Dragons 4e, a take on the game totally inspired by Ron’s Barbaric Cataclysmic 4e. The doc I provided to my fellow players before we commenced is attached. I’m sharing for pure enjoyment, though there are some in-video “annotations” to moments in play…

4 More Sessions of Runequest!
My duet buddy and I played a climactic, explosive 14th session of Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha over the weekend, and I just had to share. I’m going to keep this as brief as possible (ha, I know, I know), but to get you to the scene I want to talk about you’re going to need…

Not Another Praxian – 10 More Sessions of RQG
Hard to believe my duet buddy and I are 10 sessions into our next arc of Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha! This is his first time GMing a long-form game, and he brings a humor, a whimsy and a humanism to our play that has consistently surprised and delighted me. It’s the longest game I’ve been…

Narration authority is where it’s AT
When it comes to my priorities as a roleplaying practitioner, the enthusiastic, zestful exercise of narration authority may be my #1. This is a bit surprising to me, because my ability to play has vastly improved over the last year by attending to other aspects of this activity. Over the past four months, it’s been…

Roleplaying Is an Emotional Contact Sport
So last night’s Burning Wheel game was a rough, instructive and ultimately rewarding one for me. To explain why (to myself as much as you), I’m going to have to go into some detail about what has happened so far. You can skip to the “Reflections” below if you just want the takeaways. Setting We’re…

Bringing It Home: RQG Sessions 12 – 13
I’ve been avoiding writing up the AP report on the last two sessions of our Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha duet. My buddy and I took a break from RQG to play a couple of sessions of Emet (from Doikayt: A Jewish TTRPG Anthology). With the two of us trading places and me no longer in…

Death at the Dragonrise: RQG Session 12
After a long-ish hiatus from the Runequest: Roleplaying in Glorantha duet, we jumped right to it when we started session 12 last weekend. And goddamn did we jump into the deep end. I’m going to relate the fictional events of play, then reflect on some questions of prep that the session raised. I’m planning on laying…

Dragonrise Schmagonrise: RQG Sessions 10 & 11
Whew! Another 3 sessions of the Runequest, Roleplaying in Glorantha duet under our belts. Though we’ve had some delays between sessions, we’ve internalized enough of the systems and setting that we’re able to get right to it when we start playing. In that spirit, I’m going to dive into this report. Some seriously consequential events…

Champions Now: One Perfect…Actually, screw perfect…One WILD Session
I’ve been fortunate enough to play six sessions of Champions Now with Sam and my brother Seth. I decided to refrain from writing a report until we’d seen the Now crest and crash a couple of times, and our last session brought our first arc to a conclusive, explosive end. Our Statements are: Powers are…
