Black Out

This site went down temporarily after I received a terms of service violation email from Google. I have no explanation nor theories to offer, but I'm glad I don't have to start all over. And yes, as you can see, it's all back now. Lesson learned: back up everything even if it's in the cloud.

Pit of 52 Rouennais

Herein lies all the means you require to fight. Grab a weapon from the rack and prepare to hone your skills of battle. My services as Doctore are free and I expect no recompense. Your gladiatorial tools shall be a regular deck of cards. While the rules are simple, they easily lend to role-play. You can play as a dueling swordsman weighing your opponents every move as you count every card your opponent plays. Or you can play as a folk hero instinctively robbing your foes of victory while playing cards chaotically and relying on luck alone. You can play the wild ax swinging barbarian who throws down spade after spade at each opportunity. Or you can play the cautious defender baiting out your opponent until the perfect opening by beginning with diamonds and hearts until their spades run dry. Not only can you role-play a character but the rules of the game lend to a storytelling experience where a blow by blow tale unfolds without effort. So let's get straight to the rules now. Eac...

I present to you 2017's reading list. Some are for research, some leisure, and others inspiration. Many of these works will be an impetus for articles written here throughout the year.

The Return of Rolecasters?

I 've been musing about podcast ideas and possibly reviving Rolecasters . I'd want completely overhauled setup, objectives, direction, and content matter. So once all of those fall into place, I guess we'll see if the name "Rolecasters" still fits. My dedicated co host has moved on to other endeavors, but has pledged her support as long as she doesn't have to do anything. Honestly I've missed the weekly+ shows and all the great friends made along the journey. The rate at which we produced content back then would sink my currently running projects, so if there were a return it would be with a more leisurely cadence, especially since it would be now be a solo project on my part. While I continue to mull over the prospects, I thought it would be appropriate to share an almost decade long cherished podcast, Mysterious Universe . Their focus has always been on entertaining storytelling and, upon reflection, the majority of tales told are incredibly pulp. Alt...
