This is it! The end of the road for our heroes! But did it end in triumph, or in tragedy??? Once again, my merry band got together on Discord for a voice-driven session of Ragged Hollow Nightmare. But I upgraded us a little bit by live-streaming a battlemap using MS PowerPoint. I streamed the working […]
In this session of Ragged Hollow Nightmare, the nightmare begins! Thanks to the global pandemic, we played online for the first time. Everyone called in via Discord, which worked great. I displayed the area maps in a “maps” channel, and everything else was voice-only. But how did the party fare in the doomed temple???
My gang has continued playing Ragged Hollow Nightmare (and are loving it!). I was told we would be missing some players, so I whipped up a side-quest for the folks who were coming. But then everyone showed up anyway! So we went off-book for my side-quest, but I may put the side-quest into a new […]

So, if you’re interested in doing that but can’t think of any actions, […]
Yesterday I DM’d a one-shot with my wife, two daughters, and my dad using a little homebrew system I made the day beforehand. It went really well! The system was easy to use and everyone said they had fun, so I’d call that a win. I’ll keep noodling with it before I think about posting […]
Hey everyone, I have created an OSR version of my Dungeon Age adventure “Saving Saxham“. This basically means I removed all of the D&D Fifth Edition (5e) mechanics from the setting, monsters, and treasure, and created new creature stat blocks similar to those found in other OSR-friendly content. “Saving Saxham” is Pay What You Want […]
