I Am The Laziest Die Roller
My gaming tables tend to be as organized as my computer desk . . . which is to say, "Completely not organized, oh help, I just pulled a load-bearing pencil and now I'm buried." As a result, I don't necessarily have the dice I need at my fingertips. But I'm...
A Bundle Of Goodness For A Good Cause
If you've perused high-quality RPG books in the gaming biz in the past couple of decades, you've likely run across Owen K.C. Stephens (who, among a jillion other credits in the gaming realm, had an ongoing column – Icosahedron Adventures – that's part of the Pyramid Volume 2 HTML Archive)....
The Best _____ You'll _____ This Week

Wiz-War And STLs
Recently, Steve posted his notes from the Wiz-War design. At the end, he mentioned the Wiz-War STL files for printing your own miniatures, which are available on Warehouse 23, as is a nice package of matching wizard busts to display on your shelf. Phil Foglio himself recommended Kim Beaton for...
What To Do When No One's Doing Anything
I recently talked about what to do when it's not your turn. What if it's not anyone's turn? That is, what do you do if the game is over, but the game session continues? The easiest course of action is to immediately reshuffle the cards or whatever is needed to...
