• Click here for an in-depth post about how to speed up play in D&D where I describe cutting away core parts of the game that you think you need, but they're getting in your way. Click here for a more concise version.
• Click here for my analysis of the D&D 5e (2014) core rule books focusing on rules that give the GM (or DM) the authority to run the game their way and change what they want about the rules, setting, etc.
• Click here for an explanation about how and why to do speech / social interaction (without dice) in a TTRPG.
• Click here for a very succinct explanation of what alignments are and how to use them because no one agrees on them.

• Click here for a thorough, conversational, slightly irreverent, and grounded analyst about class design in TTRPGs.

Aw crap, that's all nerd stuff, isn't it?
