My Original Blog

Here is a shameless link to my very first blog on Role Playing Games - written from my own experiences over twenty-plus years as a DM (Dungeon Master).  Still very much a 'work-in-progress', I hope it will become something folks find amusing, informative and interesting.

So please feel free to take a look if it has you in any way, shape or form, curious about the whole rpg thing from the mind of a reflective DM.  Click 'The DM's Screen'.

Sketch Book of Old

A page from an old sketch book.  I've included this one as the tarantula in the sketch is my very first tarantula.  I named her 'Phoebe' - she was such a lovely thing, very placid and beautiful.  Sadly no longer with me, but her memory lives on ...
