The Virgin DM Monologues: TrapMaster? No, try TrapBastard!
13 Nov By 3 Comments
I’m getting more comfortable with this whole DMing thing. Thankfully, I have good players (when they’re behaving!) and Hybban is basically a walking talking reference for all RPG rules, EVER. Did I mention he knows the math for everybody’s characters better than they know their own? Yeah, it’s helpful. Mildly disturbing, but helpful. Either way, [...]

The Virgin DM Monologues: Prepping for Game #1
17 Oct By 16 Comments
I made the crazy decision that I wanted to try my hand at DMing. How this notion got into my head, I’m not quite sure. Either way, I opened my big mouth (both in real life and on the blog), so here I am! Because I want to share the crazy process of what goes [...]
