Once again, in Barrowmaze...

I am planning, plotting, and scheming...always so...because I am obsessed with roleplaying. I think about it when I'm reading novels, when I'm watching fantasy shows and movies, when I fall asleep at night, when I get bored at work...

I want to run Barrowmaze. I hate COVID-19, and adult responsibility. These twin viruses conspire to keep me from gaming as much as I'd like these days. I know, I've been whining about lack of roleplaying here for more than ten years now! I can't even comprehend that, even as I write the words. Once more unto the breach, indeed. Every day, every daydream about roleplaying, is a sally toward the breach again. Over and over, I throw my mind and imagination into the fray. 

But I want reality to replace my fevered imaginings. I want laughing faces and beating hearts and slitted eyes of suspicion at a gaming table. I want hands rolling polyhedrals, heart-clogging foods and snacks, the underground smells of a basement. I love it. I have an unhealthy desire for it. I will make it reality again. 

So, Barrowmaze. I lurk through your benighted, silent halls on the daily, and nightly. I crave to unleash your undead hordes on unwitting and foolish adventurers. I plan and prepare to dungeon master once again. Someday, I will see the looks of apprehension and joy on the faces of players over the top of my DM screen. 

Once more unto the breach, dear roleplayers!

Meanwhile, in Barrowmaze...

Diggy Diggy Hole!

Careful...this will get stuck in your head for days!

Hail the ODM (Original Dungeon Master)! Thanks for all the adventure over the decades! 

I Backed MAZES, and So Should You!

Ever heard of Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying? If not, go check out the Kickstarter for a deluxe hardcover of the game (and much more). This neat little RPG was created by the excellent folks at 9th Level Games. Like me, they are local to the Philadelphia area. They also happen to be the same talented people behind Kobolds Ate My Baby and other games.

I highly recommend you back this KS, which funded in two hours! It has an old-school feel but with modern mechanics that emphasize starting every session at "the Door to Adventure"! Need I say more?
