Music for roleplaying
I wish “Music for Roleplaying” had been one of the first sections I added to GameWyrd as perhaps it would have had a higher profile and been more successful. I still think the internet would benefit from a music database/recommendation service for gamers and scenes. Lately sites like Last.fm and Spotify have helped though. Last.fm […]
The Friendly Face of Fear
Oh my gwad. This is an original article from 2001 back when I was exploring the possibility of writing editorial dialog for web sites. I paid no attention to the writing. It was all about the HTML construct and whether the concept worked. The Friendly Face of Fear “The Friendly Face of Fear” comes in […]

Sapphire College for Elf Maidens
In response to the Book of Erotic Fantasy Wizards of the Coast updated the rules and regulations around the use of the d20 logo. Needless to say; GameWyrd set out to break them! “At Sapphire College sexy elf maidens frequently engage in wanton bathroom activity! They do so twice a day!” Apriale Raytho’lor: female elf; […]
