Renwyn had a problem, he was trapped. Ordinarily this wouldn’t be much of a problem as he was very good at getting in and out of places. Today however, he was stuck. The Thieves Guild had sent him down into this cavern to search for relics stolen from the Temple of Heroes. The good news was that he had found them, the bad news, was that they had found him.
Starter DMing

Got my game face on..
Getting started as a Dungeon Master of any type can be a complicated process. How do I know? I’ve been attempting it since I was 18. I’ve had a couple of successfully run games and a couple that crashed and burned horribly. Expect this. While it may not be true for everyone, or even most people, I’ve found that 50% of games will die or end before everyone is satisfied. In my case that means with the story ended while far from being resolved. There are a number of reasons why games crash and I’ll discuss Gamme Killers in another essay. Right now I’m going to just focus on stumbling blocks that I, as a DM, have come across.
Palladium trying a Crowdsourcing approach

It’s semi old news, but I’m used to being a week behind.
The guys and gals over at Palladium Books need our help. With the economy where it is, and with how their motto seams to be “Well, we made that book over 20 years ago – we’re still going to print it so you all can get a copy of it” (which, by the way, makes them awesome), they’re strapped for cash to actually put their new book, Rifts World Book 32 – Lemuria – out.
So they’re giving us an opportunity to help and get some nice free stuff out of the mix. The basic $5 will get your name in the book as a donator, or for the same $5 you can put a memoriam in it. For $20, you get a better spot in the book, and a PDF version. $50 gets you a limited, only available now Hard Cover version to go along with that, $75 gets you the leatherette, cooler looking hard cover version, and then they combine all the above in one way or form until you get up to $500 for all 3, a list as a benefactor, then a ton of signatures, free unique art, the owner of the comapny will call you and ask your opinions, etc. etc. etc.
So check it out here if you want to look and help out. I’ve been looking into the whole crowdsourcing thing recently, and am surprised that more companies don’t use it.

This is more of a “how I’m doing it” little article. I’m just going over what’s been going on in my life, and how game fits into it.
For starters, let me set the scene – (more…)
Dealing with Writer’s Block

After 4 hours of memebase and no new ideas...
A lot of people who want to be dungeon masters or game writers experience a problem, a dread obstacle which faces any who engage in the literary arts. This hurdle is commonly known by the name of Writer’s Block. Tis a dastardly thing which strikes the minds and fingers of those who attempt to put word to page.
