The rescue and murder squad
There is a problem over there, and since we have arrived, we can say “there is a problem here.” We may resolve it nicely, we may resolve it fairly, we may resolve it cooperatively, but resolve it we will, and if none of the above work, we will do whatever it takes anyway. The latter…

Circle of Hands Venture 5 of 6+
We were finally able to get back to our Circle of Hands campaign after a ridiculously long hiatus of 13 months. The blame for the delay can be laid solely on the varied demands of my schedule and the limted range of options open due to divergent time zones. This was Eloy’s first time to…

Monday Lab: Long form play
Here’s to participation, as this was the biggest attendance yet for a Monday Lab, and I really liked it. Everyone had a chance to chip in, and if we didn’t discover any One True Answer, well, some reasonable questions were unearthed. It’s tough to discuss long-term play without either idealizing it as role-playing’s most-sought goal…

Monday Lab: Intuitive Continuity continued
It’s been a while, but the new Discord functions are serving my needs to renew Monday Labs! To review the concept, these are discussion topics which patrons (any level) can participate in. They used to be organized beforehand at the Patreon itself, but that was a little clunky – now, at the Adept Play Discord…
