RetroRoleplaying: the Blog Posted on by

Interested in the First Edition of the world’s most popular tabletop fantasy roleplaying game, but put off by its seemingly random mechanics and design elements?

RetroRoleplaying Blog Moving to WordPress

RetroRoleplaying: the Blog Posted on by

I’ve finally decided to bite the bullet and move this blog to a self-hosted WordPress site. Blogger has been great, but I would really like to revive this blog and I think moving to WordPress where I have more control and more options will help. By revive this blog, I mean talk about games again instead of just the projects I’m working on. Unless you are really into my current projects, this blog has become boring and I need to shake it up a bit. More importantly, I need to shake me up a bit and get out of the … Continue reading →

The Forgotten Game: Microlite20 Comprehensive Edition

RetroRoleplaying: the Blog Posted on by

Queue the Twilight Zone theme song. I was cleaning up the projects area of my hard drive this morning. I found a game, Microlite20 Comprehensive Edition, that I apparently worked on and finished in 2015. I somehow forgot about it. All it needs is layout. How could I have forgotten an entire game? I know we were dealing with a lot of doctor visits for my wife that year, but still, how could a complete game have slipped my mind? I vaguely remember putting it together for players in my old Waco group who wanted a version of Microlite20 that … Continue reading →

Summer Heat Wave Fund Drive (with Old School Donor Giveaway Items)

RetroRoleplaying: the Blog Posted on by

It’s been about two and a half years since I’ve had to do a fund-raising drive to help pay for my wife’s many medical issues (oral cancer survivor, spine issues, and now multiple sclerosis). This is due to moving to a state that expanded medicaid so my wife has insurance that actually covers most stuff. So we no longer have 20% co-pays on her MRIs, CT Scans, and other expensive procedures she has to have regularly. Unfortunately, there are some things that are not covered. Most are not a large expense. However, the current example, glasses, is a large expense. … Continue reading →
