One might surmise that, when a book is published, it stays around more or less forever. This is only rarely true. In fact, the vast majority of my published work is out of print currently, and generally no longer available in any format. There are many reasons for this. In several instances in my work, […]
Read MoreHowdy! It’s been more than a year since my last blog post. I hope to get back to blogging on a more regular basis now – perhaps not quite weekly, but two to three times a month if all goes well. It would seem we have some catching up to do! Since last time, I’ve […]
Read More(First Time in Decades, part Two) When I started out running a D&D-based game for friends a few months ago, I was thinking about converting the adventure into something I could publish. I talked about that game back in March, in this blog post: https://billbodden.com/2019/02/11/first-time-in-decades-part-one/ Since then, several things have transpired. First, the game came […]
Read MoreI’ve been working on getting more material together for the community content programs of various tabletop RPG publishers. While it rarely causes a vast sum to fall into my hands, it does involve a steady — if modest — stream of income to roll my way. The newest project is an adventure for Dungeons & […]
Read MoreA group that I game with regularly has decided to have me run the game for a while. I’ve run games as a Game Master/Dungeon Master before, but it’s been years — too many years — since I’ve run a D&D campaign, and there are more than a few things I’d forgotten about running a […]

In the past, I’ve gone as booth monkey for Onyx Path, but this year they didn’t need my help at the show, so I volunteered to run three sessions of my convention one-shot, set in […]
Read MoreAs you read this, I’ll be on the road to the PAX Unplugged gaming convention, taking pace at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in downtown Philadelphia from November 30 through December 2. I’ll be driving a van full of Onyx Path books and booth supplies to the show and back again next week, and it’s an […]
Read MoreOn the way into town, I swung by a local supermarket. I wanted some bananas for the weekend, and also there was a box of a dozen doughnuts waiting for me. I worked out a deal with one of the locals, Jeff Watson: in exchange for a Wisconsin Badgers ball cap, he would buy me […]
Read MoreLast year I was invited to be the Gaming Guest of Honor for 2018 at Great Falls Gaming Rendezvous in Great Falls, Montana. I accepted, and ever since had been planning my trip. I’d never been to Montana before (or the Dakotas for that matter) so there were things I surely needed to experience along […]
Read MoreI was looking over the list of things I wanted to experience: films, books, TV series — all of it. It turns out that there’s more I want to see, read, and do than the time that exists to do it in! I can’t keep up with all the films I want to see. We […]
