Why Designing a Convention Adventure Differs From Designing a Home Adventure or One for Publication
I run games at various conventions, and writing an adventure for convention play is greatly different than for your home campaign or for publishing.

Monetization of Project Sigil & The Future of the Digital D&D Brand
I found an excellent article at Rascal.news that offered some insights into WotC's new VTT, codename Project Sigil. Most of the article is behind a paywall, but I think it was well worth the buck I paid ;)

Is D&D for Everyone?
There is a discussion on ENWorld where it is asked "Is D&D for Everyone?" I think the answer is YES, but not every group or every campaign is for everyone.

ShadowDark Wins FOUR Gold Ennies, Including Product of the Year
The Ennies are certainly more of a popularity contest than other industry awards. Still, Shadowdark won FOUR Gold Ennies, including Product of the Year, which renews some of my faith in the system.

On the Importance of DMs: Mike Carr, AD&D 1e DMG, 16 May 1979
On Sunday we talked about WotC changing what Rule 0 has been known to mean over the years. Today, we look and Mike Carr's words describing the responsibility placed on the DM and the skills that they will need to hone.
I know there is an argument that without any players, there is no game. The truth is, players are many and DMs are few, and if you DM is unavailable, you have no game session. If one or two players are missing, the game, likely goes on.

Why it's Finally Time to Ban Once and For All
I don't like banning folks, as it means I've failed to correct someone. I've been known to tolerate shit that others won't because I like to believe in the best in people.
Sometimes, you just need to ban. Trolling guests, trolling hosts, mocking the community and even trolling yours truly, but in the comments of another YouTube Creator's Channel.
They won't be missed, no more than one misses a foot fungus once it's gone.
Banished back to the toilet that begot them!

Is WotC Changing D&D's "Rule Zero"?
Rule 0 is one of the cornerstones of D&D over the years. Having trust in your DM, GM, Referr, Judge, or whatever your game refers to the person running your games is part of the social contract players and GM's have with each other. WotC seems to want to change that.
