Adept Play
The Spelens Hus is nearly finished with our do-it-all game of Dialect, having completed the Third Age and soon to play the Epilogues. We’ve already finished at least one session with some debriefing and opinions about the game, all of which I’ve saved for a closing video by request, and it’s likely that the final…
I’ve been in interview madness for a couple of weeks. The first was with The Thirteenth Floor podcast, which hasn’t been posted yet. Then I was contacted by Pawel from the role-playing play, design, and discourse community in Poland, who have had the dubious luck to dig into my essays at the Forge and have…

This post continues the Gamma World game seen in Radioactive Wonderland and So easy to get turned around, driving through…
We have completed play for our Khaotic game! Including sessions 9 and 10, continuing from the material presented at What could go wrong? and Psychic social science fiction hits the “drama” button. We plan to finalize things about the immediate aftermath with some discussion next week, which may possibly include some dice-rolling, but I don’t…
