Yeah. You heard me.
Start. Up.
But really... I'm looking down the barrel of writing contests, I was invited to run games at GenCon, I'm trying to branch out and play more and get involved in the indie tabletop scene.

I'll be posting Part 1 of my Let's Play of Wolfspell, an awesome game from the Patreon-pushed World's Without Master RPG Zine, later tonight. Hopefully, it is the start of
