My Weekend – A Weekend with Good Friends Even before the days of COVID, which confined us to our homes for months, I was moderately active in the online convention scene, or what little there was back then. To be fair, it was relatively lively, with at least one virtual game convention each month, if not more. As the years progressed toward 2020, the number of events increased. An explosion of events occurred once we all found ourselves in lockdown.

Feast of the Forest [The Companions of Arthur – Pendragon 6th Ed.] Feast of the Forest Author: Jason Lee, David Waldron Publisher: Chaosium Page Count: 31 Available Formats: PDF PDF (DTRPG) - $4.99 Five knights have fallen from the moral and chivalric code that sets them apart from those beneath their station. The moral quandary they now face is one of their own making. Lost in the misty fens of East Anglia, these knights, now turned to banditry in the service of Saxon warlords, are about to confront their past sins in a most unusual way.

From Concept to Chaos: My First Published Call of Cthulhu Scenario Back in late January, a friend reached out with an intriguing offer: Would I be interested in writing a Call of Cthulhu scenario for an upcoming compilation? His new publishing company was curating unpublished creators with a passion for steampunk and the Mythos. As someone firmly rooted in the latter camp and someone who finds it hard to say no to a friend, I accepted.

Looking Back at Virtual GROGmeet 2025 Over the weekend of April 11-13, I had the pleasure of attending another online virtual roleplaying game convention. This time, I participated in Virtual GROGmeet 2025, hosted by The Grognard Files podcast. Additionally, Scott, my podcast partner on Titterpigs, and I were invited to host the opening event, an RPG-themed pub quiz on Thursday the 10th, which was a lot of fun.

An Update, Finding My Muse, and the Way Forward, Oh My! Our regular readers may have noticed that we have fallen slightly behind recently. This is partly due to some evolving real-life situations. Specifically, some readers may recall that I am a federal civil servant. Although I am currently employed, my status could change at any time. As such, I have been somewhat disinterested in my hobbies. However, the good news is that I have turned a corner, and my interest in my hobbies is returning.

The Legend Continues – The Legend of Sleepy Hollow The Legend of Sleepy Hollow Author: Washington Irving Publisher: Kids in the Attic Page Count: 33 Available Formats: PDF PDF (DTRPG) - Pay What You Want ($1 suggested price) Since its original publication in 1820 by Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow has been read, reviewed, and republished endlessly. While the story is a classic, publishing another in-depth literature review can add nothing to the discourse.

Looking Back at BSer Con 4 Over the MLK weekend, I had the good fortune to attend BSer Con 4 virtually. As the name implies, the convention is in its fourth year of operations and is organized by the fine folks at the BS Landia Discord server. What sets this event apart from other online events is its small community-centric vibe that permeates every aspect. BSer Con spans three days, costs a mere $5, and has a relatively small attendance.
