Malls as dungeons? Old hat.

The new hotness? Convention centers as dungeons.

Just look at that hellish floorplan. Now imagine it packed wall to wall with people. Also, maybe a dragon in Exhibit hall F? Awful.

That realization that you never hit play once you put your headphones on.

It's been three hours.

Got a player who can't always make it reliably? Well, now there's a class where their absence is a feature. Sort of.

They're not stepladders, they're the ladders who stepped up
Some new (?) tech to track persistent states via random tables with memory. Like Ladder Tables, but simpler in execution.

Behold, the Stepladder Table!
Stepladder Tables
I am not certain that I am the first to have this idea. In fact, I most certainly am not; there's nothing new under the sun (especially in R...

People underestimate the importance of being able to relate to your character. The fantasy of being something unique is cool, but some of us find it easier and more immersive to play what we know. For some, that's a human fighter. It's not always about escapism.

Oh, you don't have a character card? That's fine, I guess. I mean, boring, but fine. Not everyone likes cool things.

What's that? You like cool things? Of course you do! Go on and talk to my buddy, Izzy. They'll help you on the right track.

Treat yourself. You deserve it.

"It's rigged"

There, saved you a four part epic.
I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience.

It's a 4-part series (I know, I know). One article a day. Today's lays out my goals and puts the focus on awards in general.

Get his autograph! Forge his checks!
Barkeep on the Borderlands is in its 2nd printing! It is now perfect bound with a spine and has much more consistent colors in the interior.

To celebrate, the next ~50 orders of Barkeep or the Barkeep Bundle will also come with a random autographed “print proof” page
