An impromptu rant - maybe the real balance we should strive for is game responsibilities between players and GM.

I answer a few calls and ramble about self reflection.

A smaller gathering prompts a go at a rules lite game, Into the Odd. A walkthrough and thoughts on it.

Morale mechanics in B/X. How they work, how to use them, and why they’re important for capturing the old school vibe.

Reaction rolls: an important aspect to getting an old school feel. How I use them and mechanical tweaks.

Colin Green from Spikepit has a great idea and a silent commute helps to get my imagination going...and jogs my memory.

Some quick thoughts about Luck mechanics in RPGs and what I’m currently using for Whispered Tales of Gore.

I take a look at one of my old games from the 80’s that doesn’t get much discussion: Thieves’ Guild from GameLords, Ltd.

What’s this? Singing?!? A call in? Character generation: rolling vs. building.

My 1st call in! Plus, I describe the three “E’s” players can focus on to make the game more enjoyable for everyone at the table.
