Epic AdventureOn Modules, Sandboxes, and Western MarchesSend us a textI remember opening up “Keep on the Borderlands” the first module I ever ran. It came in the D&D Basic Set and I thought it was very cool. The players started out in a keep, a perfect base of operations. It had a tavern, a blacksmith, a provisioner, and a chapel. Everything a growing adventuring party needs. From there the players would travel to the Caves of Chaos and explore underground lairs of beasts an monsters. You know, the dungeons of dungeons and dragons.To be fair I don’t really...2024-09-1846 min

Epic AdventureCreating a TeamSend us a text“Teamwork makes the dream work” was quoted by leadership expert John C. Maxwell in his book by the same name. The actual quote read: “Teamwork makes the dream work, but a vision becomes a nightmare when the leader has a big dream and a bad team.” What does this have to do with adventuring in our table top games? Well, actually, everything. A team is a group of individuals working together who collaborate on related tasks to achieve their common goal. Hearkening back to the beginning...2024-07-1041 min
