Welcome! This is my D&D Blog

Hey everybody! This is my shiny, new Dungeons and Dragons blog. Here I will write all about this amazing game. I decided to start this blog for a few reasons:

1. The most important thing is to get me to write. I have a crap ton of words in my head and every so often I have to empty it out.

2. As a way to keep two, and maybe three, ongoing group's adventures straight. I will recap the story for each group, update character's progression and tell amusing anecdotes.

3. To make announcements about upcoming games, looking to add players or general D&D stuff.

4. I will also write about my process creating home brew adventures, working with my players to make custom classes, reviews of any books I get or find and other random stuff that comes up.

So, why would you read this thing? After all there is a limitless amount stuff to look at on the internets. Dungeon and Dragons? What is this nerd crap? Well, D&D is storytelling in a fancy form. I hope you read this blog because you enjoy reading stories. D&D is pure world building. Every Game Night is living story that gets molded, shaped and is constantly changing. And not just by the DM, the players are adding to the world I have presented to them. In fact, the players and their characters are the most important thing about the world I build. How they interact with other characters, the environment and each other moves the story along and in the process, give me more seeds to plant for the next chapters.

So, a little about me; I grew up playing Advanced Dungeon and Dragons in middle school and moved to 2nd Edition from there. I took a few decades off , playing once every few years. I have had ideas and stories and characters swimming around in my brain for all that time. I finally made the decision to get it all on paper and run a game. I bought the 5th Edition books, graph paper and setup My Lab in the Nerd Loft. I have Home Brewed all my adventures so far, using printed material as inspiration for encounters and Bad Guys. I will write this in depth later in another post.

Yay, post number one is complete. The next few posts will be about the two groups I am running, about the players, their characters and what adventures they had. Thanks for reading and I be back soon.
