DnD Minigames:
Swear to Chthulu, I am still here and I am still writing! But I’m also moving a fuel oil tank from my basement.
A few helpful minigames that require zero prep time! Because I’m also DMing a lot and I came up with a helpful minigame on the fly that helped my players unwind after a dramatic battle.
Drinking Game: Outlast!
Everyone involved rolls a Con Save. This Con Save is your Endurance. You…

Transdwarfism
To what shall I compare the transgender movement?
Back in the late 2010’s through the 2020’s, ‘transdwarfism’ was all the odd rage.
It is late now to say what started it. Like with the structure of the pyramid found in many places around the world, it may have erupted simultaneously from many places over various peaks and lows of local psychoses.
But the localized lunacy of Little Miss Muffet may have been drowned out by equally-localized…

An Era of Indictments
What is an 'indictment,' and what does it mean that a person has been 'indicted' on several counts of anything?
Everyone can take a chill pill, because ‘indictments’ are not ‘convictions.’
Here. See for yourself!

The Professor: The FDA, Incentives, and Trust
The Professor rants about the FDA, how inevitable it is, why, and whether it does any good.
The Professor tapped his glasses on the desk. The students looked up from their homework.
“If there was no FDA, there would be a call for one.” He chewed his lip and frowned. A student raised their hand. “I’ll bite. Why?”He huffed and stood up. “Loathe myself as I might for saying this about any governmental bureau, because it is a good idea. Having a body independent of business with the…

No Useless Z Fighters
How would I balance a cast of unique characters against the need to highlight a main hero? Here are my thoughts on one of the most imbalanced casts in current history.
Yes, yes, I know, I come back from a two-month hiatus being overworked and writing another book, and my first project is an anime story rant?
Yes.
Because I write myself email blog posts at work when my boss isn’t looking.
She’s a great boss, but she’s also an effective boss. I don’t get away with things more than once when she catches me.
(mixes another Black Spot)
So, what’s this about Z…

Dungeons and Dragons: Three Types of Persuasions
How do I deal with multiple players wanting to try the same skill check?
Okay, so.
One player has lower skill checks, but he really wants to use them.
Another player has a singularly-high check on a shared skill.
And a third is a bard, which is unfair, but hey, that’s the game.
And they all want to persuade an NPC to give them information.
What’s a DM to do?
Figure things out, that’s what.
Three Characters
My first player, with great combat power but less in…

DnD Combat: Dumb Math and Unnecessary Drama
Using basic math to balance Dungeons and Dragons.
Disclaimer: those are two good things.
I stopped using the CR system a while ago. Granted, it was about a half decade after everyone else stopped using it.
Never is always an option, though.
In its place, I put math.
Disclaimer: I am not a math person.
Fortunately, WotC did make my math easy by making combat 6-second roundsmaking one minute of combat10 rounds.
Now, that is 10-15 decisions…

Charlie Bucket and Parallel Personalities?
How are the children in "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" related?
There are only two versions of “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” and that’s the original Roald Dahl book (“Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”) and the 1971 movie.
But there is only one Charlie Bucket among all the versions. The humble but hopeful, poor but valued, youngest member of the Bucket family.
There are four different dark mirrors of him, though.

This all came…
