The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. What book should I read next? Nobody actually asked this, but I'm going to make some recommendations anyway, because I'm in a mood to dispense wisdom, and I think that recommending books to read is about as wise as it gets. So if you're looking for general life advice, then I recommend David Allen's Getting Things Done. If you're looking for a good graphic novel, I reckon you can't go far wrong with Saga.

The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. May 17, 2015. Current and Upcoming Television. I hesitate to say we're living in a golden age of television, but from where I'm sitting, it certainly feels like it.

The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. November 6, 2013. Agents of SHIELD, Season 1, Episode 6: FZZT. If you haven't seen the episode yet, probably best not read the rest of this. Suffice it to say that this is the episode where, for me at least, the show comes together.

Max Gladstone: Full Fathom Five
http://dukestreet.org/archives/004909.html
The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. Max Gladstone: Full Fathom Five. Earlier this month, I reviewed the first two books in Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence. I have now, finally, finished reading the third, Full Fathom Five. I say finally; it was only released on July 15th. But two weeks is a long time for me to take to finish a book - I was savouring it, stretching it out, and making it last, which I almost never do. In the same way as. The N...

The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. Current and Upcoming Television. I am up to date, more or less, on Agents of SHIELD. I am somewhat behind on Flash. Rather more on Arrow. And very much so on Gotham. I'm watching Agent Carter. With my wife, and I think we're about five episodes into that. I haven't even looked at Orphan Black. Although I do intend to. And House of Cards. You'll note that House of Cards. If you haven't seen it already....

Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence
http://dukestreet.org/archives/004906.html
The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. Max Gladstone's Craft Sequence. The first ones I'm going to look at are Max Gladstone's Three Parts Dead. And Two Serpents Rise. The first two books in the Craft Sequence. Some spoilers are inevitable, but I've tried to keep them to an absolute minimum. The TL;DR version: Both of them are excellent books, read them. Is details the initial work of Tara Abernathy for an international necromantic firm called...

The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. January 17, 2005. These are some feats and devices I developed for a steampunk-oriented character in my D&D campaign world. It looks like they might be useful to a player character in an upcoming campaign, so I figured I might as well post them here, where they can be useful to other people as well.

Doctor Who: Deep Breath
http://dukestreet.org/archives/004910.html
The Wizard of Duke Street. How to Organise Excellent RPG Campaigns. Keeping an RPG Campaign Journal. Doctor Who: Deep Breath. It is possible that I will be paying more attention to the Twelfth Doctor. Spoilers, of course, follow, for the first episode of Series 8: Deep Breath. There were no stand-out moments where I was going "this is fantastic! As one other aside, I think the dinosaur was wasted; there could have been far more done with it. As it was, there was "Look! And then it just sort of went away.
