It's great having you here! I'm Andrzej and it's my place for sharing the hobby of tabletop RPG games, mainly from the GM perspective. If you are new to them and think about starting as a Game Master, you'll find plenty of my first-hand learning experience and hopefully some useful tips here. And if you're interested in some inspirations or session reports for your games, there's that too.
So, that was one heck of a positive message, that last one, wasn’t it, huh? Well, I guess there’s certainly a reason why I put “Drama” in my blog’s title. But drastic times call for drastic measures – and I’m planning on some drastic changes to how I handle this site and my roleplay-gaming activities altogether. Just let me pick up that low note I ended up on last time.
I’m a neurodivergent person, and this divergence isn’t quite what I thought or suspected it to be. I’m re-learning many vital skills, such as self-regulation, executing tasks, and so on. It all comes down to running RPGs, you see, as I found out just a couple of days ago. It drives many, many things.
The story about Forbidden Lands’ gods and religions added a lot to the campaign’s ultimate chapter – thanks to the presentation I haven’t come by in any other RPG.
I wasn’t idle, let me assure you. I’m hard at work on my ttRPG projects. I only need to unstuck from writer’s block, which I’m doing right now, as I’m writing this post already.
I Like to start each year with at least a few days dedicated to reflecting on my overall goals, the direction I want to move in, and the values I want to bring about in my life. This includes not only achievement-like, challenge overcoming but also – and each year even more importantly so – the life balance values. Creating stories for my games and running them at the table became a more and more meaningful way for me to exercise and avail myself of my creativity. Given that, I wanted to share what I set out for the coming Wheel of Time’s revolution and what I predict will happen regarding some of my favorite RPG titles.
I started writing this post a week ago – as I promised to some of you who have stayed in touch with me in the last couple of months. But then, over the weekend, I realized I had to do something equally as brutal as it was honest and benevolent. I had to kill my RPG campaign because of schedule conflicts. And I felt terrible. As Hendrix sang in the timeless “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” now I’ve gone and thrown it all away.
