  • The Virtues of a Kitchen Sink

    Countless monsters and lineages, an eternal interplanar war between Devils and Demons, Gods and Titans everywhere, and it still looks like medieval England? Forgotten Realms is the punching bag of nearly all worldbuilding enthusiasts in the D&D community. Today two recovering worldbuilding addicts sit down and discuss the many merits of this big messy setting here medieval lords, dragon kings, space fairing pirates and little silly robot guys all seemingly coexist for the sake of adventuring fun!

  • And That’s A Fact

    Do you ever feel like the world is doomed? Life gets harder, people get meaner, and nothing works like it used to?

  • My First Campaign
