State of the Planes: July 2018

What a long, strange trip it's been?

Sometime last summer, I found out my Dad had terminal cancer and that trip ended in late February this year. Obviously, it affected the blog. And me. It's still affecting me.

But even before that I was having trouble finding direction with the site. I was more focused more on monetizing it than just enjoying it. I think I'm past that now.

You may have noticed quite a bit of Labyrinth Lord, here's the reasons: 1) I like LL. 2) It's easy to work up quick ideas, the way Cypher System was. I like making or converting monsters. It gets my mind working creatively. Hopefully you guys like it too.

But if you don't or you have any feedback, please post. And I take requests. I really do.

Try to stay cool out there.
