DIY & dragons

Continuing my annual tradition, here are some of my favorite things from the last year.

I wrote a guest post on the Flashback Universe Blog!

Prismatic Wasteland has announced a new Blog Bandwagon.

To generate your own trendy book title, roll d20 twice and combine: 1 The Seven Abbots of Evelyn Costello 2 The Seven Ampersands of Evelyn Amsterdam 3 The Seven Castles of Evelyn Blackwood 4 The Seven Catacombs of Evelyn Hugonaut 5 The Seven Deaths of Eve…

Last summer, I invited everyone to participate in a Summer LEGO RPG Setting Jam.

This is my fourth year doing a round-up of my favorite media.

The 2024 Bloggie awards are here, and DIY & dragons is a finalist in two categories!

For Secret Santicorn 2024, Vile Cult of Shapes asked for "effects of prolonged exposure of Primal Darkness on various surface dwelling species."

Everything people make builds on what came before.

This is my entry in the Barkeep Jam hosted by Prismatic Wasteland.

The Summer Lego RPG Setting Jam has officially ended.

Hi everyone!

I want to officially announce the start of the Summer LEGO RPG Setting Jam!

My regular Friday night gaming group has been playing through Gavin Norman's The Incandescent Grottoes.

This is my third annual Year in Review post, so I think I can officially consider it a tradition!

Since I wrote my previous post, my friend Ava Islam reached out to Justin Alexander and engaged him in a productive conversation.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Since I wrote this post, my friend Ava Islam reached out to Justin Alexander and engaged him in a productive conversation.

The last time I talked about the book Future Evolution, I mentioned that author Peter Ward and illustrator Alexis Rockman mostly did not engage in the kind of biological speculation that the title of their book seems to imply.

COLUMBO: So, Miss Anna, you own many books!

Over at From the Sorcerer's Skull, Trey has an idea for a spooky season campaign setting that really intrigues me.

By now you've probably heard the good news, but just in case you haven't...

The last time I wrote about Barkeep on the Borderlands, it was but a young Kickstarter with dreams of fully funding, and my own involvement was merely the future promise of an as-yet unmet stretch goal.

Over the past year and a half, I've been writing reviews of all the books I finish and posting them to a private social media feed.

Last year I started what I hope will be an annual tradition, and posted reviews of my favorite things I read and watched in 2021.

For the second meeting of the Roadside Picnic Basket Book Club, Trey from From the Sorcerer's Skull played host, and invited me to discuss the dungeoneering aspects of Peter Watts' novel Blindsight.
