Note: Today seems pretty packed with pics because this particular style of design and art appeals to me a lot, so please excuse this indulgence. &#8230; <a href="https://briebeau.com/thoughty/2020/07/dissident-whispers-with-jeremy-childrey/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Dissident Whispers with Jeremy Childrey"</span></a>]]></description>

I recently had the pleasure to read and review James D’Amato’s Ultimate RPG Character Backstory Guide, which is currently available online for purchase! James contacted me for the interview, but in true Beau fashion I took forever to review it (sorry!).

I was immediately enthused by it, excited to see all of the different games showcased there. There&#8217;s not a lot of interestingly showcased and easily accessible game material history/curation, and the creator, Stu Horvath, shares a lot of great information &#8230; <a href="https://briebeau.com/thoughty/2018/03/quick-shot-on-vintage-rpg/" class="more-link">Continue reading<span class="screen-reader-text"> "Quick Shot on Vintage RPG"</span></a>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[What was your inspiration for The Astounding Antagonists? In comic books and films, people with superpowers commit violent acts in the name of justice. A while back, I started thinking about heroes, and how they might be designated as criminals or villains if their idea of &#8216;justice&#8217; differed from the status quo.
