The time it takes could be spent playing or, if you are like me, sleeping after a late night session.

The last thing I feel like doing after a gaming session is calculating XP.

Why Railroading Is Damaging Your D&D Game

I was playing a game the other week and experienced railroading in the extreme, which I hadn’t experienced in a long time, and it left me frustrated and deflated with the rest of the game.

(I have since left that campaign due to not liking the rules, but that’s a whole other post.)

The game started great.

YUMDM is the brand name behind the D&D zine, d12 Monthly. A monthly zine that is influenced by the physical magazines of old (like Dragon, Pyramid, Shadis, Warlock, and White Dwarf).

Some links in my articles are affiliate links. This means I earn a very small commission on any product bought after clicking the link to the external site. This doesn’t cost you any more, but it does help me fund the making of the zine as I tend to use that money to buy stock art from other indie creators.
