Every year the GenCon / ENWorld RPG Awards (The ENnies) finds itself mired in some controversy or another. I think this is good for the awards as it keeps them in the public eye, and none of the controversies have been very rough. Previous years included a semi-public battle between a [...]

[Dungeonslayers] Stephen Bretall, the White Knife

Dungeonslayers is a free RPG in the feel of old-school D&D-style dungeoneering games, but with a modern, light rules set. Definitely a great game for someone looking for something like the retro-clones without actually playing using a retro rules set.

[Redemption Night] Jared Ward, murderous husband

Since I wrote up the actual play report about Redemption Night as my last post, I figured I should actually get around to including the character I made for the game in question, as that’s the real purpose of this blog.
All the characters in Redemption Night are people who have committed heinous sins and then [...]
