  • What do your campaigns look like?

    My campaigns are as follows:


    1) Once a month: my home/family campaign currently being DM'd by Mrs. Daily DM.


    2) Once a month, an online Tales From the Loop online game


    3) Weekly on alternating Tuesdays, my D&D group that was running the Inglorious Ingrates (they're on hiatus), and is now running Dungeons of Drakkenheim


    4) My weekly Sunday Adventurers League group that is wrapping up the Eberron: Oracle of War campaign, and for which I am finishing up a West Marches style campaign called Selsuria: the Savage Marches.


    5.) My weekly Sunday evening Dungeons of Drakkeneheim online game


    6) My weekly Monday evening Eberron: Oracle of War campaign


    In any case, I will occasionally write about these campaigns, usually in the form of a game summary of a particularly interesting session and/or thoughts about the direction of my various campaigns. Additionally, I'll be writing on occasion about my campaign writing woes and such when I have writer's block and showcase my (poor) attempts at painting miniatures.


    Note that I also sometimes dabble in Battletech and other RPGs, so you may get some stories and such from those as well. Frankly, it depends on my mood and if anyone reads this obscure corner of the Internet cares to see it. We'll see.


    Posting Schedule:


    I generally post twice a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm possibly going to pick up a third day, likely Wednesdays where I will go back to showcasing my miniature painting projects."

  • Who are the members of your DM team?

    The Daily DM


    The Daily DM has been a dungeon master and writer since the age of about 13, giving him about 29 years of experience with the craft. He has a degree he doesn’t use and writes full-time. He suffers from multiple sclerosis and writes The Blog to stay active and keep busy. He also runs several D&D games any given week, including his Sunday Adventurers League, his Tuesday group (the Inglorious Ingrates), his monthly group (This Party Kills), and two online groups, one weekly and one monthly (whew!). He lives south of the Mason-Dixon Line with his wonderful family and pets.

    Based out of San Diego, Riley is a freelance copywriter and amateur philosopher. He is thankful to be applying his passion for imaginative role-playing to help D&D-related businesses communicate their value in the best way possible.
