I have been a little busy with real world stuff these past
couple of months—the kind of things that are health-related—and so I have not
been as active on the blog as I would like. Sorry about that. But I am still
working, writing, and thinking about gaming and Dungeons & Dragons in particular. To that end, I will point you
to Matt Colville’s YouTube channel, because he eats, sleeps, and breathes this
stuff and I find myself in agreement with him, like, 98% of the time, when it
comes to running D&D games. This is very likely because we are about the
same age and have experienced many of the same things, and also we have very
similar tastes regarding First Edition Stuff (such as Appendix N) and how we
use it in gaming.
Colville is also very sincere and genuine in his discussions
(really a monograph) of running and playing D&D. It shows, and it’s one of
the things that makes him so likeable. It almost makes me forgive him for
mispronouncing “archetype” every single time he says it.
