EP 51 Underwater Adventure
I'm BACK! Maybe the hardest set-piece to run, Underwater Adventure.
I love underwater adventures if I put the time in. If I don't, they become a hazard to the campaign, just like jumping in the water if you can't swim. Today I want to break down the hazards of running tabletop RPGs underwater, so let's do this.

I'm BACK! I know some of you will cringe during this episode so let's pull off the bandaid.

EP 48 Marking your Books
I'm BACK! I know some of you will cringe during this episode so let's pull off the bandaid.
Episode 48 is all about Marking up your Books, and I know it is blasphemy to many but hear me out. In 1995 I purchased the 2nd edition Forgotten Realms Campaign setting from a garage sale. This 168-page book was more than a $4 purchase. It changed the way I look at the margins in books. Of course, there are tips, tricks, and an update on what EFP has been up to!
