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

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...

Arts and Crafts Summer

Yes, it has been a long time since I have posted. I’m a teacher, and summer vacation is a schedule disruption. I don’t know what that means for other teachers, but for me it means I have a whole lot more work to do than during the school year and none of it allots time for me to sit in front of a computer and bang out a blog post. Summer is when I work on all the projects my wife has for me to do around the house and farm and for the catering business. Yes, we live on a farm, but I don’t farm it. We run a venue in the middle of all the farming. Nonetheless, there is a lot of work to do. This fall, I started connecting my class to another teacher's to make an integrated STEM experience, so that's keeping me busy. Did I mention my wife is due in November, and I'm a 46-year-old man with no kitchen in my mid-renovation farmhouse about to have a newborn?  Also, my regular D&D sessions get all messed up during the summer because of family vacations, varying custody schedules ...
