Had this idea bouncing around for a type of space adventure/horror(?) game. You are arriving late to a star system that humanity had sent several waves of colony ships millenia before you got there. This is a hard-science fiction world, so no Faster-Than-Light travel. You arrive there the old fashioned way (Generational ship that took […]
So I’ve been reading Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft and watching PhDnD’s fantastic YouTube series where he selects one of the ‘Domains of Dread’ from the source books (and also comes up with a couple of his own), explains the basic premise of it, provides a lot of inspirational media to ‘get an imaginative grip […]
“They say patience is a virtue, Clara” Bluenote quipped thru the commlink as her legs instinctively squeezed his titanium haunches – her free hand swiping the water bottle from its coaster. The starting box that was once filled with the sound of metal servos and pistons as their mounts had gotten into their positions was […]
So, when I played D&D as a kid, one of the modules we had which we played thru about a dozen different times was “Keep on the Borderlands”. Although, the Keep itself was just a “home base” of sorts, where the real stuff went down was the Caves of Chaos™ Pretty much every evil creature […]
I wanna write a ransom note / clandestine meeting generator. I was thinking about spy movies gangster films, and other bits of media where they have the trope of receiving instructions for a meeting or money drop or something along the lines of “meet me at noon in the park. you’ll see a blind man […]

That last one is important. While no villages ever spawned, I was able to build my own village by curing zombie villagers. But, […]
here’s the text of the word doc we got today from Jesse Itzler. Hope to remember to do this before the end of the week. CREATING A PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT AND A CONTRACT WITH YOURSELF: Great to meet everyone yesterday!! I wanted to share two things with you as mentioned: My personal mission statement and […]
I was thinking about immortality on the drive to work today. Not the usual sci-fi methods of extended life medical breakthroughs or genetic manipulations or cyborgs or cryo-freezing or even brain-uploading… Well, maybe that last one. I was thinking about the phrase “they’ll live on in our hearts”. This referring to someone living on in […]
So, the lottery was up past a billion and a half dollars recently. That’s 1.5 Billion, with a “b”, or as I like to think of it, “1.5 Sagans” Now, many people would ponder what to do with all that money, and I joined in on the fantasizing along with everyone else I know. I […]
There’s this great meme I’ve seen (and posted once or twice) It reminds us all to check our sources, especially when it comes to people using the names and reputations of those we admire to manipulate us.
