Within a month of announcing that I was running for judicial office, my long-time law partner ended up in the hospital. Within two weeks,Continue reading “Checking In”

Greater Couatl (5e Warlock Patron)
I’m a player in a 5e Eberron group. We’ve played on most Fridays for over a year now, and it’s a great group of folks. My character is a dwarf1 celestial warlock, whose patron is a couatl. Couatls are prominent in Eberron lore, and last week, our DM had the party travel to the PlaneContinue reading “Greater Couatl (5e Warlock Patron)”
Let me be absolutely clear…
I reject any and all forms of bigotry, whether based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, country or culture of origin, or anything else my overworked brain has forgotten among the above. As it is important to be precise about these things, in this case I am specifically calling out anti-Semitism, Holocaust-denialism, and Nazi apologia.Continue reading “Let me be absolutely clear…”
Minor Updates to BFJB 2.0 and CCoM PDFs

A Brief Update for 2021
Šumma awīlum marrūtim īriš-ma itêšu ubbiršuawīlum ša marrūtim īrišu iddâk u itêšu marrūtīšu akkal. I’ve known I’ve needed to post an update for the past few weeks, but I’ve put it off repeatedly. Why? After a prolific year and a half, I’ve fallen into a habit of un-productivity; I just haven’t been able to focusContinue reading “A Brief Update for 2021”
The Doom of Ešnunna…still happening?
Those who have been paying attention to Babylon On Which Fame and Jubilation Are Bestowed since the first edition days will know that almost three years ago I began writing a supplement focusing on the kingdom of Ešnunna.
