This morning’s #BooksAndBrews hour is #Traveller game GM prep, as Session 0 is only 29 days away! ☕🚀

I love Traveler’s random character creation, but I’m debating using the alternate system for the #PiratesOfDrinax campaign.

Choices. Choices. Choices. Which do you all prefer?

This morning’s #BooksAndBrews has me flipping through a stack of old Dungeon Magazine issues. ☕📚

Debating kicking off a 3.5 game in a few weeks, thinking 3rd or 5th level for a tight five-session run. Maybe the Dales? Maybe the Gate? …decisions, decisions. 🎲

This morning’s #BooksAndBrews is less reading, more flipping through #DungeonsAndDragons 3.5 as I plan a five-session game. ☕📚

Insomnia brain is not built for deep reading, so vibing instead. A nap is definitely in my near future. 😄

Forgotten Realms? Eberron? Planescape? …decisions, decisions. 🎲

Today’s #BooksAndBrews is all work-focused: #DeltaGreen playtest prep. ☕👁️

One player is burning the candle at both ends, so I’m double-checking Willpower and exhaustion rules. Then it’s on to gear, since they’re trying to pay for a few things.

And one player has already had to make a SAN roll after uncovering something disturbing… so I’d say we’re off to a strong start. 😄🎲

This morning’s #BooksAndBrews is a trip into 1930s Los Angeles, more #DeadCityBlues research and keeping the gears turning. ☕📚🌴

The game’s coming along nicely, and I’m locking in the sweet spot between grounded history, hardboiled noir, and magick. That balance is the key and it’s starting to sing.

Taking a break for #BooksAndBrews, cracking open Book 4 of #TheBlackCompany, #ShadowGames. ☕⚔️

Been enjoying this research, reading, and diving deeper into the world. Soon I’ll be shifting gears into Phase 2 playtester feedback… which should be a blast in a very different way. 😄🎲

I’ve been thinking a lot about the books I enjoyed as a kid and feeling the pull to revisit them. So I’m kicking things off with a classic: The Illustrated Man by Ray Bradbury. 📚✨

There’s something special about returning to stories that helped shape you and seeing them now. #BooksandBrews

Today’s #BooksAndBrews is really more of a #BoardGamesAndBrews. 🍻🎲 Broke out a stack of my Munchkin stuff and started flipping through them again, still such chaotic fun.

What’s your favorite Munchkin and why? Or have you never played one?

Reading Dennis’s Unnatural Engine ruleset this morning and I’m once again struck by his design sense. It’s clean, crisp, and concise, everything exactly where it needs to be. 📚🎲

Definitely need to get this one to the table soon. #BooksandBrews

This morning’s #BooksandBrews: Makers & Shakers: A Hidden History of Black Americans in Booze. ☕🥃

It was a gift I’m excited to dive into, maybe it sparks a new scenario, or maybe it’s just the joy of reading something I love.

Thank you, Jill!
