Not about our games

or even face-to-face games, but I still think Terra Nova might be of interest to some of you.

Thrunk goes Klunk

First fatality in the new (Jeff and Andy) campaign: Jeff’s character Thrunk Shillelagh got pinned in a corner by a trio of skeletons and hacked to bits. Andy’s character Link was running pellmell for the exit of the dungeon, and so wasn’t in any position to try first aid or to recover the body. Remember […]

Russell sez

Buried in a comment that nobody but me will read, so I’ve copied here: It looks like I’ll be running a few Sunday D&D games while I’m on the East Coast.

Some said it could not be done, particularly since […]
