I’m still alive.

Meet Herp and Derp…

Posted on January 29, 2011 by Matt Savage

Well, what did you think conjoined beholder twins were going to look like, anyway? Last night’s Friday night LFR seemed to go well – my table certainly did.  Today should be good.  Unfortunately, I won’t be there till tonight – … Continue reading →

So it seems more and more that I’m bitching about D&D.  I’ve heard more than once “Well then, why don’t you just quit playing D&D?” If you have to ask, you just don’t get it. I bitch because this stuff … Continue reading →
