Oregon Trail, in Reverse

On March 15, 2020 By richardbakerauthorLeave a comment

Greetings from Baltimore! Boy, I picked a strange time to move across the country. After two short weeks in the ZeniMax Online offices, I was sent home (along with everybody else) to work remotely until further notice. While the caution is well warranted, it’s a little tough for me personally: I’m just starting to learn …

Thanks for stopping by! I’ve been busy writing and bus-driving and doing an odd bit of game design here and there.

Hello! I’m back after ten days visiting family. We spent five days in Ocean City NJ (my hometown), and five days in Yorktown VA (the hometown of my lovely wife). Somehow we’d managed to let three years slide by between visits to the East Coast, but we did a pretty good job of making up …

Okay, a really short and to-the-point post today: What I’m doing at Gen Con!

My Top 5 Spells

On July 12, 2019 By richardbakerauthorLeave a comment

Hello! Thanks for dropping in. A few months ago, my daughter Alex pestered me into running some D&D for her. I told her to find some players, so she recruited her friend Olive and her sister Hannah for the party. At that point, I was pretty much committed. I thought hard about which edition to …

Hi, there! As you might have guessed from my intermittent posts, I’ve been very busy so far this year.
