    Use a burn down list to keep from running out of ideas

    ByScot Newbury March 9, 2015March 9, 2015

      When I came across the above tweet from SlyFlourish in my feed the other day I tagged it as something to follow-up on as it hit a nerve with me. In one of my many roles at my day job I manage projects and tweet speaks to a tool used in Agile Project Management…

    The power of three

    ByScot Newbury March 3, 2015March 5, 2023

    Today marks a rather special convergence, at least for me anyway. This is my 300th post on the blog, it falls on 3/3 and today, at 3:30, I have an appointment to pick up a ‘new’ to me vehicle – that’s a lot of threes and must mean something. To be honest, the number three…

    Add a little flavor to your tavern

    ByScot Newbury March 2, 2015March 5, 2023

    “You meet at the local tavern . . . . . . . ” How many times have you heard that at the gaming table? The tavern is one of those locations that every game seems to have and frequently used as a stop over, a way of meeting a contact, or just picking up…

    Going beyond the twists and turns

    ByScot Newbury February 26, 2015September 2, 2024

    Every group as their favorite characters, NPCs, and sessions they’ve played, of course almost every group as their least favorite thing about the game as well. In my group’s case it was mazes. Looking back on it I probably didn’t run the few I used as well as I could have and Mediaprophet over at Run…

    Who doesn’t enjoy exploring the sewers?

    ByScot Newbury February 19, 2015February 19, 2015

    Who doesn’t enjoy exploring a maze of tunnels, dead ends, and rooms full of creatures to battle? The GM that’s who. It’s something that a lot of GMs like to run, but it’s something that many of us don’t really enjoy planning out. The encounters are easy enough, but creating a map of all of…

    Home-brew seems to be the way to go

    ByScot Newbury January 20, 2015January 20, 2015

    A couple of weeks back I asked folks if they prefer home-brew or published settings and I would like to first thank those that took the time to comment on that post (or on Google+) – I really appreciate it. It would seem, based on the responses, that readers of the blog lean toward the…
