Hello world – The First Rule:

Everyone has to start somewhere. 

So – the internet needed another blog.  I am quick to provide.  The purpose of this website will be to discuss the process of running and playing tabletop games – board, card and role-playing varieties.

I anticipate that there will be three major categories of stories here to start with: (1) game reviews – newer games, books or expansions for existing games I know well enough to comment on intelligently; (2) articles on my process of preparing to run and play games – focused on running D&D 5e, but also preparing to run a party games or anything else that I think will make an enjoyable read; (3) Rules Lawyering – breaking down specific rules and mechanics from the games I play to review the rule in detail, its purpose, its effect, why I think the rule is good or bad and how I might adapt it to another game or system.

My goal is to write three updates a week – starting Monday, March 23, 2015. Over the weekend I’m going to work on some art for the header and sidebar to fill out the page and get it ready for viewing.  Color scheme needs work.  Feedback welcome.

Thanks for reading this far.
