On Wednesday, I found that there was time to run a role-playing game session for the class while giving them a focused objective language wise. So I bought my D&D books.

Some galactic gamemaster at his office
I have posted loads of loads of tabletop role-playing game blog articles. They can all be found in this blog tag. Therefore, this tag covers everything from actual play write-ups to RPG artwork to homebrewed stats to miscellaneous weird crap.
Combat Missions Game
During semester break week, I was assigned to the team that would be teaching a class for a contingent from the Royal Malaysian Army. For my “role play” segment of three hours, I decided to design a card game that doubles as a rudimentary roleplaying game (RPG). Two nights before, I spent up till 0200 hours designing the mechanics and […]

Savage Worlds: A Simple Job

Otherworldly Creatures of Issyka
Christopher Mennell aka The Secret DM, commissioned me to create a host of otherworldly creatures for his fantasy setting of Issyka. It had been a while since I drew fantasy creatures.

Some Dungeons and Some Dragons
I spent most of Saturdays this past two semesters teaching extra English classes. This semester after I was paid, I ordered the Dungeons and Dragons Player’s Handbook and Monster Manual from Book Depository. I was told by many that the fifth edition rules handles very well and figured it was time for me to purchase D&D books. Book Depository has […]
