WIP Wednesday – May 17
Hey all, Sam and David here today. It's the middle of the week once again. We don't have a whole lot to talk about, at least not compared to last week, but since we have cool plans for this weekend, next week will probably have more to talk about. Each week we like to do… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – May 17
Tabletop Tuesday: Pathfinder 2ECharacter Creation
Hey all, Sam and David here. Okay, so we had purchased the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook at Gen Con a couple years ago, when it had come out of playtesting and was available in hardcover. But it just sat on our shelves, waiting for us to pick it up and try it out, ever… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Pathfinder 2ECharacter Creation

Hey all, Sam here. Welcome back to Manga Monday, which means it is time to review another volume of a manga I've been reading.

Hey all, Sam here. It's a weekend of focusing on creative writing...and you know what? I'm totally okay with that.

Next… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems (Part Two) by Jessica Brody
Weekend Writer: Save the Cat! Writes a Novel: Chapter Two – The Save the Cat! Beat Sheet aka The End of All Your Plotting Problems by Jessica Brody
Hey all, Sam here. So my plan had been to make today's Weekend Writer post cover the next two chapters of the book, but considering that Chapter Two is over 50 pages long, I feel like that would end up being way too long...which means that I'm going to go for another double dose of… Continue reading Weekend Writer: Save the Cat!

Tabletop Tuesday: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Monopoly
Hey all, Sam and David here. Hopefully at this point, you all realize that we are both huge geeks. We own a pretty nicely sized tabletop game collection in our home. Our dining room is primarily a game room, not an eating room----we mostly eat on TV trays in the living room. Our dining room… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Monopoly
