So my next online Daggerheart game will be a conversion of one of my favourite DnD one-shots featuring out-of-control vampires. It sorta puts the monster back in Monster energy drink. So I’m playing around with a neon visual style. What do people think?

It’s time to return to the dungeon, adventurers! Dungeons & Flagons is back for a March mission at The Beer Engine in Titahi Bay. This beginner-friendly event is open to anyone over 18 on March 18th. For more information, or to book, go to events.humanitix.com/dungeons-and...

I've gone and done it! I've finally put up "Yacht Rock - The Roleplaying Game" on itch. I've been playing around with this fun little project for ages. greg3711.itch.io/yacht-rock-t... It's nice and cheap, for now, because I still want some feedback from people.

I've just finished reading through a draft of the Gloomhaven RPG. I was sooooooo excited when I backed it 2 years ago. Now I have thoughts… You can go to my Substack if you want to read them open.substack.com/pub/foreverg...

The last few sessions I’ve run have had a lot of folks 40+, and some of those folks are new to roleplaying games or coming back after decades away. I'm also told quite often, “I’d love to give it a go, but I’m a bit old.” Nope. Never too old. If you’d like to try - get in touch

I've been pretty busy over the last couple of months. But I haven't stopped running sessions. So now there's time to breathe here are the stats of the most popular classes people have been choosing for my games up to September this year.

It's a good Father's Day when you get a copy of this! Now I've got the physical kit, I can bring either Dungeons and Dragons or Daggerheart to your place if you want an adventure with your mates in the comfort of your own home!

Last week's "Learn to Play Daggerheart" session got some great reviews - thanks to those players. I had so much fun, I'm running the session again on Wednesday, 17 September. You can sign up here: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

A really fun “Learn to Play Daggerheart” session last night! A full house of players really got into the game’s Fear and Hope mechanics. Our bard player even created a haiku about another player’s character! Who’s keen to be part of another “Learn to Play” session?

Only limited places left for this Wednesday’s “Learn to Play Daggerheart” session. My first one sold out. You can still book your slot here: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Something turned up from Italy today! It's the physical copy of the game I helped work on, Medieval Tales from Europe. So excited to open it. And it arrived in time for me to run the game at Roll for Hope next month!

With an Under 15s D&D session at Bea DnD Games this Sunday the iPad is out and I’m working on turning the game prompt I get from Michaela at BeaDnd into a fun one-shot. You can read her prompt and book your favourite teen or tween in here www.beadndgames.co.nz/collections/...

A new “Learn to Play Daggerheart” session opened for the evening of August 20. You can sign up here startplaying.games/adventure/cm... #daggerheart

August 27th’s “Learn to Play Daggerheart” session is sold out. So I’ll open another one up tomorrow…

Barbarians are characters literally fuelled by rage. It’s their main ability that fuels all their other features. I reckon they suit players who like combat and moving the story forward with action and thinking about consequences later. If you play a barbarian, what do you love about the class?

This is my ranger Half-Ear. I seldom get to play him. But rangers were one of the first Dungeons and Dragons classes I fell in love with. I was always a sucker for Aragorn as a kid…What was the first class you fell in love with?

This Friday night, start your weekend with a Dungeons and Dragons adventure at a beach resort! Beach Watch is a 3-hour online adventure that sees your characters battling evil on the beach and beneath the waves. Just US$15 a ticket. Sign up here: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Bards are a popular Dungeons and Dragons character type. Here is why I reckon people like them: - They are good all-rounders - They are naturally charismatic and do well in conversations and roleplay If you play a Bard, why do you like them? #dnd #bards

Here’s a short story in pictures and quotes about what DMing for kids is like (and why I love it).

Here is the last of my common D&D beginners questions. Do you have any others? #dnd

It's day 2 of answering common D&D beginners’ questions #dnd

Saturday, July 19, is the debut of my new mini-adventure, Crypt of the Elven Queen. It's 3 hours of puzzles, undead, corruption and a wronged Elven Queen looking for revenge. All experience levels welcome. Click the link to sign up: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

Day 1 of answering common questions people have about getting into Dungeons & Dragons #dnd

Not as many chances to play with me this month. I’ve got a bit of other entertainment work on. But there are two great online D&D adventures I reckon you’ll love #dnd #lfg

It’s the popular kids - Sorcerer, Wizard and Fighter vs the ugly ducklings - Monk, Paladin and Druid in the battle of the pre-gens. The classes to the left get the most love in my games while the classes on the right get no love at all. Which side do you pick for your party? #dnd

Today’s one-shot saw our intrepid group of Under 15s adventurers battling on a sinking barge to steal a chest of magical ingredients. With seconds to spare and an audience of baffled parents waiting, a last-minute Moonbeam stopped the evil Wizard and saved the day!

Doing my prep for this Sunday morning's adventure at BeaDnD. This is a screenshot from the Game Master app, where I run my In-Person D&D games. This Sunday at 11am will be a session for Under 15s, and there are still spots available. Click the link below: www.beadndgames.co.nz/collections/...

Reading through Daggerheart again and I’m really digging it. Simple characters, narrative driven free flowing combat and the dice mechanics for fear and hope are cool. Who is keen on trying it out? Or have you already?

Last night’s KiwiRPG week livestream had sea shanties (in English and Octopus), fully actualised Maui’s dolphins, flares being set off in submarines and a wine cellar in a research vessel. If you missed it and want to watch Odyssey Aquatica in action you can here: www.twitch.tv/videos/24900...

This may not have been my greatest moment but there was a reason…honest

Ever wonder what adventurers do when they aren’t exploring dungeons or fighting dragons? I’ve created an adventure to find out. On Saturday 28 June join me online for the beginner friendly D&D adventure “Beach Watch”. For more details and to sign up head here: startplaying.games/adventure/cm...

I'm hitting Substack again with a vengeance! This time to talk about why I love the RPG Odyssey Aquatica so much...https://open.substack.com/pub/forevergmnz/p/playing-the-game-odyssey-aquatica?r=2l6kat&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true

I've finished reading through Dallas: The Television Roleplaying Game, and I have thoughts! Check them out on my Substack open.substack.com/pub/foreverg...

I found this on the internet! It is real! Is it a roleplaying game? Sorta. I’m reading it now. More thoughts soon #ttrpg #dallas #1980s

What day is best to play?

Had a great time and met some cool people on Saturday at Love Local. Some highlights: - Seeing how many people are curious about D&D - meeting someone who worked on White Dwarf magazine and one of my favourite other Roleplaying games, Pendragon, back in the day - Getting a personal Kava delivery!

Just one day before the doors for the Love Local expo get opened and I prepare myself for the tidal wave of interest! Or bemused looks #dnd #porirua

Why am I dressed like a sea captain? Why the serious face? Its a teaser for a stream I’m running for KiwiRPG week in June. More details coming soon! #KiwiRPG

Thinking about getting into online D&D? Here is all you need…

I'm sharing my top 5 classes for beginners over the next week. And now, the final entry in my top 5 - the Bard. Bards get to do a bit of everything, they can fight a little, cast spells but what makes them great for beginners is that Bards tend to be good talkers.

I'm sharing my top 5 classes for beginners over the next week. It's time for the classic magical class - the Wizard. Yes, you’ve got to remember what all your spells do, but even for low-level characters, the Wizard feels powerful.

I'm sharing my top 5 classes for beginners over the next week. It's time for the first magic using class - the Druid. Druids have got the healing magic then there is the kicker - shapechanging! Being able to sneak around like a tiny spider or fight like a jungle cat makes any session memorable.

I'm sharing my top 5 classes for beginners over the next week. Now for the next one - the Rogue. This class can be simple and sneaky or get a little more complex with spells or psychic powers. But it gives you some cool, high-stakes options out of combat, like sneaking past guards or picking locks.

I'm sharing my top 5 classes for beginners over the next week. Here’s a fave of mine - the Barbarian. These rage-fuelled tanks are never far from the action, don't have too much to think about or remember, and are hard to kill (so you won't find yourself dying during your first session).

Here’s where I play my online games. What's your set up like?
