Tonight I am going to GM my very first session of the Dungeon Crawler Carl roleplaying game from Renegade Game Studios. But it's not just any game session. It will be a live actual-play session in front of an audience at the Helium Comedy Club - Atlanta.

I've DM'd plenty of Dungeons & Dragons games in front of an audience at comedy clubs and cons. But this will be my first time at the helm of the Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG. And, I'm a little freaked out. To my knowledge, this is the first-ever Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG actual-play show. No pressure.

I’m gonna go ahead and throw this out there… Gaming convention planners, you really should consider inviting me and my Catacombs & Comedians actual-play show to your event. There’s some seriously hilarious hi jinx in store for our shows.

So, what does a nerd like me do while his wife and kid are away on a week long cruise? He creates a new tabletop roleplaying game. (Actually, he transfers a bunch of chaotic notes and half baked ideas into a tangible ttrpg.)

So, these vague reels of Nathan Fillion and other members of the Firefly casts has excited about a revival of the tv series. Me included. We’re all going to be really disappointed when the upcoming announcement is for just a Firefly fan cruise.

When I wrote this four months ago, I had no idea how on the nose it would be.

Reading through @dantaylor.bsky.social’s Dark Regime tonight, a TTRPG all about fighting tyranny. Good stuff.

I created DARK REGIME to express my anger and disappointment about what is happening in our country in a format that generally offers me an escape from such madness—the tabletop roleplaying game. DARK REGIME is a dystopian hack of forbidden hope and antifascist fury.

My birthday is December 19th. As a gift, I would love it if you bought yourself a copy of my novella, PIRAT TALES, paperback, kindle, or audiobook. Or buy a copy for a loved one. It’s available on Amazon. If you want to do a little extra, leave a review if you liked the book. Thanks.

There's no real way to confirm if you are actually from Portland, Chicago, Washington DC, or Memphis. So... What's stopping you from taking advantage of this deal? (Hint, hint. Nudge, nudge.)

Hey, friends in the TTRPG community. Over the last few weeks I worked feverishly on my first Mörk Borg hack and it’s antifascist as fuck. Like many of you, I’m both pissed & scared regarding the state of things in this darkening timeline. I guess the project was an attempt at a therapeutic exercise.

As of today, it is now available on DriveThruRPG. It would be greatly appreciated if you would check it out and share it with your communities. (DriveThru link in comments.) Or if you like, I can send you a complimentary copy. Any questions, let me know. Thanks. www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Completed a first pass (writing & layout) of a Mörk Borg ttrpg hack. Idea came to me 10 days ago. Had to get it out of my system. Could say my passion for subject matter drove me. It's the first ttrpg that's interrupted by annoying presidential tweets. #morkborg #ttrpg #antifa #antifascist #fcknzs

Throwing this out there as I do every football season. I wanna bring together a group of fellow TTRPG creators (writers, publishers, artists, streamers, etc) for a Fantasy Football League. "Fantasy" is right there in the name. It's what we do! I can't be the only TTRPG nerd who also enjoys football.

Dan Taylor

It'll be a kickback league with fun trash talk and commiseration. I'll even provide a trophy or plaque for the winner. No cost to join, but fun side bets between players are encouraged. So if you're game, let me know. Hoping to get at least 7 of you to join me, but the more the merrier. What ya say?

Thirteen years ago tonight I drank my last alcoholic beverage. My favorite neighborhood bar was closing for good and I made the decision that it was time for me to give up drinking. I drank a lot, and I drank too much. I was not one to have just one drink. Once I started I went too far.

So I decided that it was time to quit. And I did. Just like that. It wasn’t difficult. I didn’t struggle with sobriety. I’ve never relapsed. Booze was not my friend. I thought it was. It wasn’t. So, cheers to me. 🍻
