*A version of this story appeared on my previous blog, Adventurer Misadventures. This is a short story about my long-running character, Aeniyah the Acanthus Mage, and how she learned the perils of chasing bad guys into public Starbucks bathrooms...

Adventures in Dungeon Painting
posted by Caitlin
Back in April (2013) I was [REDACTED] dollars into the Dwarven Forge Kickstarter, amongst a few others. A few weeks ago, I received the bits and pieces of my soon-to-be-epic-dungeon terrain, and like a small child during a holiday that will not be...
Administrata

Time for a little bit of administrative updatedness. (Yes, I know that’s not really a word.) First, we’re sad to share the news that Lisa, one of our founding princesses, is retiring as a regular author. For a variety of reasons that...

Nerd Rage
posted by Caitlin
Ben Affleck is going to be the next Batman. DC’s Lobo is getting a new look. Robocop is being rebooted. What do these three things have in common? Geeks are losing their goddamn minds over them. It’s a little something we call NERD RAGE, and it...

An Ode to Ravenblood Games
posted by Caitlin
This is an ode. An ode to my FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store), Ravenblood Games. When I left college, I left behind most of my gaming folks. I was RPGless—a tragic state, to be sure. After a while, I got antsy. I needed my gaming fix. I decided to...
My Gamer Turn-off: What do you mean, you never played (insert title here)??
posted by Margaret
Yeah, you guys know what I’m talking about, and I’m sure it’s annoying to you too. “What do you mean, you’ve never played (title)?” “You haven’t seen (TV show/movie/play)? You’re not a true...
