Christmas cards this year

Just ordered these and I thought I would share, I am retired Army so I find this hilarious, may not be to everyone's liking but oh well, it is my card! 

Thank you to Steve for the inspirational comment "He's missing a laser pistol. 🔫 😉". Thanks! 

Chevalier Larmen's Grotto

color 

and b&w version

A Lair

A fancy version. 

Sans background.

And because Tim is afraid of upsetting the inkjet gods, a black and white version.

The Temple of Kalonius - ver 2!

 Cri Ke (over on FB) made a suggestion about forcing the players through the trap (room 7) and the flooded room (room 10) so I modified the map a little to encourage players to enjoy the various obstacles in the dungeon that their friendly DM has placed in their way to the BigAssTreasure. 

The Temple of Kalonius

Its been a bit, I have been busy and frankly, not really feeling RPGs much lately. Perhaps this will change. Made a simple map.

For those needing a GM ready map (eg, Vance or Shane), here you go. 

Also, for Tim, who is always afraid he will anger the gods of printer ink, sans background.

A Girl Called Samson - book review

 

I am going to deviate slightly from my usual gaming topic today. I have a 'mini book club' with a friend and she likes to read books I typically would not. We selected this book recently, a fictionalized version of a true story. A young woman caught up in the American Revolution who disguised herself as a young man to fight the British. I had read many Rev War books but few managed to bring the war to life, oddly from the viewpoint of a women, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

 

While this version of history is slightly romanticized (especially the ending), but I very much enjoyed this read, enough that I went digging into the actual history and the circumstances around Deborah Samson's stint as a young man in the war. 

History is amazing and our lives are enriched by learning about what has happened before us:
