I’m excited about this interview because Bill is not only a fellow member of the gaming industry, he’s also a good friend and a fellow gamer par excellence. He and his wife Tammy have been running games at Genghis Con

Greetings readers! Yeah. The Hero System will use ALL of your D6’s. Today’s blog post is going to be the first in a series of blogs about the Champions game system. It should be no surprise to longtime readers that this is one of my favorite and cherished RPG systems. This is just one reason

Greetings, readers! Today’s subject is going to be another controversial one (and is bound to ruffle some feathers!), because it involves the Ennie awards program for 2013. In a previous blog post, I covered different awards for the tabletop RPG industry, including the Ennies. And at that time, I considered the Ennies to be a
