Join MCG at 2026 conventions!
We have a great slate of conventions lined up for 2026, and demand for MCG games at these events is super high—we run hundreds of games every year, and virtually all of them sell out.
We’d love to have you GM with us!

I've said it before, and stand by it today: the moment your article/essay/whatever emits the word "I" or "me," that article/essay/whatever begins to suck. Only very rarely is this not the case. It is never the case for autobiographies.

As we all enjoy our holidays, we should try to remember the true meaning of Christmas, as shown to us by Dickens in A Christmas Carol: undead creatures torturing the rich with threats and sleeplessness until they treat people better.

Every Drink in “Casablanca” (1942)
I don’t think this silly piece of movie trivia belongs in my solemn and scholarly Medium account, but I bet it will be a social-media hit…

Those of you who know me, know that I can be something of an aesthete when it comes to the clarity of the ice in my whisky. Clear is best and directional freezing is the only way to get there. Tried it with an off-brand stanley- type mug that I found in a hotel room, and the results were... decent!

Maaaaan, I would be so into this if (a) I wasn't already awash in games and (b) I didn't have to bail on an Invisible Sun PBM about a year ago due to work.
Sword & Key also currently has an open casting call for a campaign of Invisible Sun from @montecookgames.com
This game will be GM'd by @archmageofdice.bsky.social and you can apply and see all details here: forms.gle/syfreTh79DFc...
This application will be open until Saturday, November 8th.
