Now Posting on my Talismundia Blog

Most of my posts henceforth will be on my Talismundia blog, which covers my new campaign setting of Talismundia:

Talismundia

I plan to support Talismundia with Shadowdark and perhaps with an OSR Clone or Simulacrum (as Labyrinth Lord 2E seems to have faded away, I'm not sure which flavor to use going forward; I might just make my own).

I do not foresee many, if any, further general gaming blog posts on my part.

I've really nothing more to say on the general state of games, or even anything specific.

It has all really pretty much been gone over, sometimes again and again and again. 

But as I've said before, never say never...

The One True Way to Play Dungeons & Dragons

Players new and old are having some difficulties these days deciding how to get their Dungeons & Dragons game on. It is all about Old School versus New School. Edition Wars. The OSR is fractured. Hither and Yon we hear of “Gaming Cults” and “Cults of Personality” gathering.

Which rules would Arneson want us to play? Which rules would Gygax want us to play?

What about Holmes or Moldvay or Mentzer or Cook or… whoever have you.

Where, oh where, can I find the One True Rules so I can play Dungeons & Dragons the Right Way?

This is simple, people.

There are no rules, only rulings.

If you and your friends are playing a game and having fun, you are playing it right.

No more, no less. Anyone who tries to tell you different is either trying to sell you something or stroking their ego.

If you play Dungeons & Dragons* and have fun – you win!

* Or any other role-playing game, whether with one page or a thousand pages of rules.
