Day 16 of Dicember 2021 is Unholy. I have a two-pronged approach here that I hope fans of evil and fans of wordplay can enjoy: An unholy game element (it is profane and evil)....

Halfway through December means halfway through Dicember also! I’ve got to say, it’s been a fun couple of weeks. It feels wonderful to be going about the business of writing...
-
This month’s challenge continues to be a lot of fun. The sole reason I’ve been able to enjoy it and make a go of it consistently is the low pressure, low stakes sort of...

Back again with another batch. This one is a little bit different from the last go-round, though: whereas with 2-5 I mostly just collected my Dicember posts from my social...
-
Warning: If you browse this on terrible mobile internet, it’s gonna be slow, because some of these images are annoyingly huge. That said: It’s time for more Dicember posts! My...

It’s Dicember! Er, December! It’s -ember! Dicember is a challenge akin to Inktober, but less specifically for graphic art and more specifically for role-playing game nerds to...

Well, how better to get back in the swing of things than to return to the ways of old on my blog and post about some cool tabletop role-playing game sales? There seems to be...Linked by the ring

I already know this will be a series of blog posts. I know that because I am only like 50 pages in and I have said “This would make a great dungeon,” or “This is a blog post,”...

No, not the rap album. I tricked you! The d12 is an extremely cool die that I find very satisfying to roll and extremely pleasing to look at. Naturally, this means it needs...
-
I guess this post serves as a love letter to that queen of the polearms, the Halberd. I’ve always had a fondness for them; even before Gygax and his meticulous tables of...
-
There, upon a luxuriant bed of furs and straw, the fitful rest of a sweating burgomaster is plagued with visions. Shadowy figures chant and chase and close in on all sides...
-
I made this for Daniel Sell on Twitter as a joke but I may as well put it here. For those using screen-readers, it is: Angry Troika Pirate Bitter, wave-worn sailors of the...
-
Human history is unbelievably long and, as we all know, simultaneously a tiny infinitesimal speck in the timeline of the universe. So much has happened; so much more is lost...
-
I am – due to a combination of the way my brain works and the current unprecedented pace of my job, which rewards encyclopedic knowledge of extreme minutia in my field – unable...
-
I finally read Troika, by Daniel Sell, the other day. It’s been very popular since its inception and has spawned game jams a-plenty, a thriving Twitter following, approximately...
-
Hello, everybody! You’re looking at the first post exclusive to DungeonsAndPossums.com! I went and bought a domain, got hosting (thanks for the tip, Luka) and learned some...

As a long-winded nerd, there exists the desire to make a blog post titled “On Brevity” into a long, and very in-depth, examination of word counts and page counts versus...

Another still from Gangs of New York (2002), also without permission from the production company. We’re back! I wrote some stuff last week to encourage folks to supplant...
-
Still of the Dead Rabbits from Gangs of New York (2002), which is absolutely posted without written permission. Thieves’ guilds are a staple of fantasy fiction. We see them...

The world is pretty scary right now. You don’t need me to tell you that. Probably, you’re reading this from your house, where you’re supposed to stay put and spend time doing...
-
or, “I AND MANY OTHERS WROTE THINGS AND YOU CAN BUY THEM” (I am one of the numerous writers and artists) I’m a little late trumpeting this because a lot has gone on for me...
-
It’s that time again, friends! Here before you are three more blogs I would like more eyes to fall upon, even if they’re already getting more views than I could possibly send...
-
Awhile back I bought one of the coolest books I’ve ever found, George Cameron Stone’s “A Glossary of the Construction, Decoration and Use of Arms and Armor: in All Countries...
-
I mocked up a little fulfillment calendar to help me keep track of things for the stuff I backed this year. I can’t imagine it’ll be helpful as-is for anyone out there, but I...
-
Here’s a blast from the past, of sorts – last year I withdrew from the wide world of RPGs to focus on a big job change and a lot of anxiety, but just before I did, I posted up...
-
It’s supposed to be ice cream? I guess? Trey Causey, one of the wonderful, snake-like heads of the Hydra Cooperative, posted a pair of articles over on his blog in the past...

GM’S DAY SALE IN EFFECT 03 MARCH 2020 – 14 MARCH 2020 It’s that time again, friends! The annual day for appreciating your referees is finally upon us. For most of this blog’s...

Thanks to TSR for this map from D1-D2 Descent Into the Depths by E. Gary Gygax, used utterly without permission. Over on Twitter, I often fill time with brief little 1d6 tables...

We are nearly free from the orgiastic grasp of Zine Quest 2020. I don’t know about how y’all like to party for Zine Quest each year, but for me, this is a sadomasochistic...
