• First Impressions – One D&D Character Origins pt. 1

    Earlier this summer 2022, Wizards of the Coast made a few announcements. One of them was for the next iteration of Dungeons & Dragons. Instead of going with a new number as they previously did, they opted for rebranding it as One D&D, a backward compatible edition that built on the feedback and rule additions… Read more

  • Playing – Avatar Legends the RPG

    Part of my Gaming Goals 2022 is to try out five RPGs new to me this year. A buddy backed the Kickstarter of Avatar Legends and it finally came to be. He’s run it for our table a couple of times and we might even be trying a short adventure ‘season’. I’ve got a few… Read more

High fructose corn syrup came in as the second ingredient and sucralose in there at the end, so there is a fair bit of sugar lurking in this bottle. I’ve had some really sharp tasting root beers but this one… Read more

  • From My Table – Hit Points Shape Experience

    From My Table – Hit Points Shape Experience

    There are many mechanics to track the health and survivability of a player character and the creatures they encounter. For the moment, I’m focusing on the Dungeons & Dragons model as it is a pretty simple system and it is mirrored in many others. Hit points, as defined in the 5E Player’s Handbook (pg. 12),… Read more
