Giving Thanks – Gaming Edition

November 24, 2016 Mook 0

Happy GURPSDay, everyone, and for many of us, a happy Thanksgiving as well. In the spirit of said holiday and its accompanying introspection, here are some of the gaming-related things I am thankful for (since this isn’t a blog about […]

The Briefcase Story

November 10, 2016 Mook 9

Happy GURPSDay folks. Lots of great GURPS material posted out there today (as there is every Thursday… and, really, every day!) To bring some levity to this week, I thought I’d post something fun and light. In the spirit of The Bunny […]

The Bunny Story

July 7, 2016 Mook 4

Happy GURPSDay everyone! It has been a crazy holiday week, and I’m under a pile of to-dos, so I would like to share with you, apropos of nothing, one of my favorite gaming anecdotes… the Bunny Story. I think most gamers, at […]

GURPS: The Synthesizer of RPGs

June 30, 2016 Mook 0

Happy GURPSDay to all, and to all a happy GURPSDay! Today, I’m continuing to muse a bit on just why it is that I enjoy GURPS so much, to the point that it is the only game I’ve GMed in decades, and […]

Printing RPG PDFs to Hardcopy Books

March 16, 2016 Mook 35

GURPSDay has again descended upon us! I’ve written about printing out RPG PDFs a couple of times before, so instead of just making a third post for this latest project, I’m pulling them all together into a single uber-post. A few […]

Star Wars in my Bones

October 20, 2015 Mook 1

Is it a bit silly to get misty-eyed over a 2.5 minute movie trailer? Maybe. Do I give even a single, tiny whit? Not even remotely. It’s only the barest of overstatements to say that “Star Wars” was my religion. […]

Fate – Printing Through Lulu

May 11, 2014 Mook 1

Since the GURPS Omnibus I got from Lulu turned out so well, and I’ve been reading more Fate lately, I decided to put together a single volume of Fate Core, the Fate System Toolkit, and Fate Accelerated for personal use. Here are […]

Finally Done!

June 6, 2011 Mook 1

Nearly 2 years ago, I emailed a query to my favorite game publisher about a possible PDF book. I was 90% sure I would get back a polite form letter thanking me for my interest and sending me on my […]

Frank Frazetta Passes Away

May 10, 2010 Mook 1

Seems like one of the few things that ever gets me to post is the death of someone I admired. Today’s turn of the wheel is Frank Frazetta, who, from early reports, appears to have passed away this morning at […]

In Memory of a Fallen Hero

March 5, 2008 Mook 6

So Gary Gygax died yesterday, at the age of 69. I know that for very many of you reading this, your first thought is ‘Oh that’s too bad – who is Gary Gygax?’ He was the co-creator of the role-playing […]
