I provide this with minimal editing and no context. Enjoy. :P IT SQUEAKED FROM UNDER THE COUCH Charles Groves sat in the corner of his tiny studio, hunched over a thesis of which he had spent many months of his life composing. And then he heard it. A squeak. One of perhaps terror or surprise. [...]

So to head off any misconceptions of WTF I meant in my post yesterday let me clarify a few things. I figure some of my points are pretty straightforward, so let me talk about the others. I hope we can legitimately play without map or minis. I said, “The last time this was actually legitimately [...]

Back in late October I proposed the idea of using Magic: The Gathering as a conflict resolution system for a story game. I un-creatively called it Magic: the RPG. Consider it an alternative method of playing Magic. :) Anyway, all two of my readers both weighed in. Shadawyn asked me “So when are we going [...]

My Kindle affords me the opportunity to read a great deal of Gothic horror now in the public domain. I’m currently reading Algernon Blackwood’s “The Damned,” which I suppose is more ghost story than Gothic horror, but anyway… I’d like to expand my reading: 1.
