Off Topic

I live in Alberta.

It's been a while since I did a dinosaur post around here, and if we're going to get back into the groove, let's get serious.

Somebody having to step away from a recurring session of Dungeons and Dragons is something every party will have to contend with eventually.

There's a tradition behind Wizards of the Coast's Unearthed Arcana which goes all the way back to the original Advanced Dungeons and Dragons line of games, before even 2nd Edition AD&D or the consolidation of both lines into what we called 3rd Edition.

Every Dungeons and Dragons Dungeon Master has been there.

This post was inspired by two things: seeing that Riot Games are getting back into making tabletop games, and the recent announcement of the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount, a sanctioned Wizards of the Coast product featuring the campaign setting seen every week on Critical Role.

If you have enjoyed our previous streams, like the one from December, then rejoice, because the Blizzard Watch D&D crew is going to be back this Saturday, January 4 for more D&D fun with me, their friendly DM.

Tabletop Role Playing Games have really seen a bit of a resurgence lately, thanks to programs like Critical Role, Stranger Things and The Adventure Zone.

I have never played a single The Witcher game, although I am old enough to remember that the game comes from some guys trying to make a Neverwinter Nights module based on the books.

Look.
