Traveller: 3 Reasons to Include Ultra High Tech
Giving players some ultra high technology is controversial. That tech shouldn’t be easily available but they’re players and should have access to the cool stuff. It can be game breaking or game defining. While both sides have a valid argument, I come down in the side of including it for several reasons. 1) It MakesContinue reading “Traveller: 3 Reasons to Include Ultra High Tech”

3 Steps to Turn Published Adventures into a Campaign
As I mentioned last week, I am running an “office” game of Tales of the Yawning Portal. These are some really great adventures, but what they are not is a campaign.

3 Reasons to Run Published Adventures
For the JBE “office” game, I run Tales of the Yawning Portal for the group. I mean, I can’t run anything that we ourselves published because we know each adventure so well.
