Calisco Civil War
January 19th, 2022
I wasn’t planning on putting this Mission Sheet up, for the tenth phase of our Band of Blades campaign, as it deals with the Fort Calisco mission, which isn’t handled like other missions. But here it is anyways, since the sheet was mostly complete (I’ve finished fleshing it out for posting purposes) and you can see how we ran the mission in our campaign. As normal, this post includes some additional notes on meta-game events that affected play.
General information about these sheets and a full archive of previously posted sheets can be found on this page.

Paying Pros
September 12th, 2021
There is a lot of outrage, upset, and scoffing recently over the idea that it is OK to pay gamemasters to run games for people. I find these reactions misplaced.

Is it really anyone else’s business to tell someone else it is wrong for them to make a living providing entertainment to other people?
Yes, traditionally gaming has been a hobby entertainment of friends sitting around a table having a good time. But why is that all it has to be?
