Questing for Tabletop Adventure Games
It is only AFTER release that I realized what makes Adventure Hour! so special. I mean, I already knew it at some level, but often intuition comes before introspection. That's why it's intuited. Let's take a look. Outside Summer of 2020, I'm a summer camp counselor at the YMCA. There are so many things are … Continue reading The all-terrain adventure game

Since coming back the States six years ago, I've accumulated more and more stuff. Games, clothes, documents, random tech garbage, … Continue reading Minimalism
Found this on the cover of the instructions for a game from called "WORST CASE SCENARIO: Game of Surviving Life." I just think it's funny. Imagine this in front of Dungeons and Dragons, Shadowrun, or Call of Cthulhu game... When a life is imperiled to a dire situation is at hand, safe alternatives may not … Continue reading Goofy game introduction

If you could take the time to give your opinion, it could drastically improve the game and the advice … Continue reading Give your opinion to help make a GREAT role-playing game for kids
Diamond-headed Dragonslayer The name "Dragonslayer Adventures" has been dropped in favor of "Adventure Hour!" "Adventure Hour!?" you ask. "Isn't that already available for free?" And if you clicked either of the links above, you know this is still the case. But what you might not know is that the game is getting a new coat … Continue reading Adventure Hour! – In development!
This is THE image that got me into teaching on Outschool. It's the header for a D&D class based on Legend of the Sleepy Hollow created by Megan.
