Four Zero

Today, almost to the hour that I'm posting this, I have been playing and designing D&D for 40 years.

Rather that wax poetical about the beginning or speak of the time spent, as I've done at other times, I think I will just say, it hasn't been long enough.

Apart from the book I'm editing, I have two other books in the works regarding the subject of game play and design.  I am considering accepting that the creation of modules for other people may be something I'm forced to do.  And I am rethinking other possible ways through which I hope to continue to add content to a discourse which has not begun to reach its zenith, not in my mind.  Far from feeling that I am on the periphery of the community, I continue to feel that I am breaking new frontiers, discovering new countries, meeting new peoples and forging out a game that will change the way people think about D&D.

Fifty years, here I come.

  1. That's awesome, man. Congrats.

    Earlier today (about three hours ago) I found myself jonesing for your articular brand of madness and almost, *almost* considered pony-ing up the Patreon subscription. I might still...just need to find a line of credit that'll foot the bill!

    Excited to hear more about the new books on design, by the way.

  3. I just found this blog today.
    I’ve been away from DND and RPG scene for about 25 years (fell into miniatures!!) and discovered this whole scene last month...
    I feel like I’ve missed so much, but catching up is awesome, not having to wait for the next post.

    I’ve been inspired to dig out my AD&D stuff and make a Grimdark Greyhawk campaign (based on the decade old idea that Greyhawk is post Apocalyptic).

    Great stuff here, I’ll be back
