I'll start this post off with some housekeeping, It's been nine months since I last posted on this blog. If I'm being honest, there's only one reason that I stopped posting.Pride.It bums me out when I look at the number of views on a post I wrote and see that only 2 people read the post. I've had some difficulty finding the niche for this blog. My previous blog, The Revolutionary Nazarene, was geared exclusively toward pastoral posts. I wanted pastoral and theological discourse, so I wrote it myself. I quit writing it because people weren't reading...

So... next week we should bring a backup character?
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex
It's Pathfinder Friday! Last week our weekly game was canceled because of the horrid ice and snow conditions that trampled through Central Ohio. This week, we were back on and ready to pickup where we left off in the Dungeon of the Fire Opal.
I'm not sure I have mentioned this before, but Dungeon of the Fire Opal is an adventure by Jonathan Tweet which was published in Dungeon magazine issue 83. Naturally, I've heavily altered the dungeon, first I updated it to Pathfinder, I switched some of the monsters out for other monsters and I altered...

"That skeleton hits HARD!!"
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex

When we last left our brave party of adventurers, they were preparing to leave the basement of the monastery in order to rest and recover from their wounds. They decided, however, to make one last turn before heading out and head down a path they hadn't traveled down yet.At the bottom of a small flight of stairs was a small room. On the wall of the room was a large bas-relief carved into the stone wall. The sculpture was of a large bone creature....

Looking Back: Friends Season Three
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex
I raved about season two of Friends. Most of the times I've started the series over, I've skipped season one and gone straight into the second season. As good as season two is when compared to the first season, season three is even bette...

The Crown of Command - My thoughts on Talisman
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex
A month ago, I made the trek to The Guardtower, my favorite store in the world, and used our Christmas money to buy a new board game. Holly and I love to play board games. Our favorites are Agricola, Lords of Waterdeep and Dominion, but we also own Powergrid, Settlers of Catan, 7 Wonders and Carcassonne.
My friend Nate is my board game sensei and my primary source of information. He had mentioned that he got a couple of the expansions for Talisman...

The Liberators of Thornkeep - Session Recap
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex
First off, a little background. I moonlight as a freelance
game designer. I’ve had five supplements published by Raging Swan Press.
Creighton, the publisher over at RSP wrote an advice column for freelance
writers and suggested that those who write should keep a blog. Well, that’s
good news for me because I already keep a blog! He offered some suggestions
that should be on the blog. In light of that, I’ll be adding session recaps
from my Thursday night game.
I am the GM for a group of friends, we’re using the
Pathfinder Campaign Setting, specifically,...

Booger-Eaters, Soap Operas, Beards and YES!! chants
Posted on 8:00 AM by alex
"This is literally just a male version of a soap opera," my wife astutely noted the other day as I was watching WWE. She's right, of course, WWE isn't really about the wrestling, anymore. In fact, they don't even consider themselves to be a wrestling company. They famously changed their name a few years ago from World Wrestling Entertainment to WWE. The men and women who compete in the ring aren't known as wrestlers, they're known as WWE Superstars and Diva...
