All,
Don't misconstrue my silence. As the father of 1/4 black children, I am 100% Black Lives Matter; one of them being in transition, and 100% Trans Lives Matter.
I'm planning on doing a Special edition of Meanderings, with paid content by Black authors and artists.

If you're still watching this blog...
Meanderings #4 is imminent, final piece of art for the Midaes patron is done, all that remains is wrapping up the sheet numbers, creating the PDFs, and finishing the cover text.
It should be finalized before the New Year.
In other news, I'm proceeding full speed ahead with a Kaer Crawl Classics design document, and to help me with the design between RSTiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10547912293171181111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835545021286545342.post-65598674591030694582019-09-22T22:06:00.001-07:002019-09-22T22:06:11.000-07:00modernizing the blog.
I will be giving the blog an overhaul.
What started out at a journey with my kids, has blossomed into publishing and all sorts of wonderful opportunities.
My kids are turning 20 next week, they game with the friends that they got into gaming. Several of their friends are amazing GMs in their own right.
Stay tuned.
It's not going to be a quick overhaul as I'm a really busy person.

It is sad news that I post about Bob's passing. I found out on Saturday with my DCC game, that Bob passed on Tuesday, 3/12/19.
I only knew Bob from the few games of DCC I ran at Gaming on Grand. He was a good guy, always helpful to new players and fun to game with.
I will be memorializing his character from my game in the next issue of Meanderings.

If you've played Savage worlds before, and used Multiple Actions, you know exactly how disruptive those multiple attacks can be to the entire table. The guy who is built for combat will often go before everyone and waste most of the field before others can even get to act, in Savage Rifts it can be even worse, with Split the Seconds, and so many bonuses to offset those multi-action RSTiltonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10547912293171181111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7835545021286545342.post-73064269213881733322019-03-07T21:05:00.003-08:002019-03-07T21:05:52.624-08:00Plus is Dead...soon - So A Savage Rifts rule tweak.

So who's playing? Man I've been playing quite a bit since launch. This week however it will be back to writing. I'll be on Destiny 2 occasionally. I play on PS4, as Whiplash1138 add me, add something geeky to the message so I know you're not a random stranger.
When I was wandering around investigating lore, I ran across the Future War Cult area, wonder when they arrive?
When does Xur arrive?
