Deck of Many Things, age 18
I had been playing D&D since age 9 or so, when Ian M__ of Middletown, a classmate of mine, introduced me to the game. We soon left town, and I couldn’t find anyone else to play D&D with through high … Continue reading

Bait the Daywalker – Battle Royale
The best offense is a good defense. I was walking through the wilderness from one town to the next, so I could hopefully drop off my latest cool weapon from the deep (a Holy Avenger). I was running along and … Continue reading
ZAngband and other roguelikes
ZAngband is winnable. That’s the allure. It’s wicked hard. It’s not always completely fair. There are certain intrinsics that are required before venturing past certain points in the game (If you see a little blue “e” and you don’t have … Continue reading
Bait the Excessively Lucky – better than good
I have a second Zang character running at the same time as Bait the Daywalker. The other character’s name is also Bait. But this new character is having an exceedingly good run of luck. The first trip down to the … Continue reading
