The ‘Goblin’ Cave I recognise that none of these resources or the process I am using is new and I am not suggesting this is the best way to do it. This is just what I am using to prepare for this style of game. I am using two forms of adventure prep for this

Nothing like a little admin to get you excited about playing RPGs, yeah? Well, you’re in luck. Cause that’s what this is all about.

2019 draws to a close. This has been a wonderful and terrifying year. During November I wrote another 20 thousand words as a part of a collection of short stories. The aim of Nation Novel Writing Month is to get 50 thousand done in the month, that felt almost impossible. But I was happy with
