Long time... no post.

 Hey all, 

I'm sorry I haven't kept up on posting here. I know I don't have many readers, and I probably have fewer now.

Listen, I can talk about my recent professional struggles, the personal challenge of raising a one-year-old at the age of 47, and all the ways my life is made more challenging by co-parenting 2 teenagers with my ex-wife. At the end of the day, I just may be too ADHD to post regularly. 

Anyway, I shall endeavor to do better. 

To anyone out there that reads this blog and is trying to run D&D for adolescents and kids, thank you. You are awesome. 

Clint

Beadle & Grimm, Budget Bespoke, and The Rod of 7 Parts

Okay, this is going to be one of those deals where you came here to get my crabcake recipe, but you have to listen to my whole life story and what happened with great Aunt Eunice during the depression to get there. I'm sorry in advance.  You're probably here to get the print files for the Rod of Seven Parts . If that's the case, and you have no patience for my story, just scroll down. I'll put a heading there. Otherwise, on to glory! I'm one of those guys who is super creative, motivated in short stints, has a full time job (but makes very little money), and can't get a side hustle going because of too many responsibilities and a bad case of ADHD. Why am I telling you this? Well, maybe we can help each other out. "Stay awhile and listen..." About My Stuff My first Budget Bespoke post was all about the stuff I made for my Dragon Heist game, including some original STL files I made in Tinkercad of all things.  Anyway that met with overwhelming positive...

Perfectly Perilous

As I've mentioned here before, I am a Middle School teacher and I have a D&D club during our school clubs period. This is a super popular club with great attendance and others waiting to get in. It poses a unique challenge, though, being a part of the school day, rather than an after-school club. Basically, I have 30 minutes once every 2 weeks, to introduce D&D to kids with little to no experience, who are with me for a trimester, roughly 6 - 7 sessions if we're lucky.  Free Club Kit Wizards of the Coast sent me their free club kit, which included the a copy of the recently released D&D Starter Set: Dragons of Stormwreck Isle, instructions and guidelines for club organizers, a quick demo and learn-to-play guide for Dungeon Masters, easy-to-read character cards, a poster to advertise your club, flyers, a Campaign Case: Terrain, and a Campaign Case: Creatures. This was a great start. Especially useful was the a quick demo and learn-to-play guide for Dungeon Masters: ...

Crazy Clinto's Handy Homebrew Hacks Part 2 - Go West!

I wanted to follow up on my recent post about homebrew hacks with some practical and free resources that you can apply today to create your own Gygaxian / Westmarches style campaign for your kids or students. I’m going to focus much more on materials and resources in this post than on theory and technique. I will link to some great articles and videos to cover theory and technique. This post was inspired by a recent video by Professor Dungeon Master and his son over on the Dungeoncraft channel. That video was inspired by a recent video by Questing Beast about time keeping in your campaign. For your convenience, I've embedded the Dungeoncraft video here: On the off chance that the above video didn’t give you a good handle on what this kind of campaign is, here’s the original source of this term, Ben Robbins explaining in detail. The Setting & Your Home Base I talked a lot in my previous post in this series on creating your homebrew setting. I’m not going to rehash all of tha...
