I ran my first RPG tournament. I ran Carnival of the Damned. I read through it all and just did the encounters in order until we ran out of time. These were the rules I posted ahead of time for everyone to see. The prize for winning the tournament: $25 store credit to Comic Kingdom!…

Session Report: Goodman Games World Tour 09/24/2016
For the last Saturday of the month we did a Goodman Games World Tour game. I had my good friend Ed there from the EdOWar blog there ready to run in case we needed a second table. We got a late start to the game due to a wreck on the highway. We only ended…
Prepping For Goodman Games World Tour 09/24/2016
I know my buddy Ed from the EdOWar blog was planning on running a level 1 adventure. I decided to do the same. I picked a shorter adventure out of Dungeon Crawl Classics #89 Chaos Rising. I chose to run Elzemon And The Blood-Drinking Box, a level 1 adventure. I wanted to make sure I…
Local Gaming Community: Growing It
In an effort to try and get things more organized in one place I have created a Facebook group for the Reno Dungeon Crawlers Guild. This does several things for me. 1) It gives people a single spot to come check where and when the next game is. 2) It allows me to get away…

Thoughts On Starting A Local Gaming Community
I was introduced to Dungeon Crawl Classics on Free RPG Day 2016. I had heard of it before, but never really given it a look. After some old school gaming from the awesome GM EdOWar I realized how much I truly enjoyed old school play. Fast forward to Free RPG day this year and I…
Some Background On The Murderous GM Part 2
In 2012 I started playing Heroclix. The game was interesting, and straight up PVP. I was also fascinated by the fact that we got to play as superheroes! I enjoyed the game, and even managed to occasionally win. The store we played at on Wednesday nights also hosted a D&D game. I tried to ask…
Understanding Basic D&D Stat Blocks (For Use With A DCC Game)
There’s an update at the bottom Giant rats ahead! Here we have a stat block for giant rats from a Basic D&D module. I’d like to use this module in my DCC game. So upon first glance I can see that there might be between 2 and 5 giant rats. IF there is 2 They…
