About John Lewis

John has been roleplaying since Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition (the old blue box). He����s a fan of games "Powered by the Apocalypse", the Cypher System, and Dungeons & Dragons 5E. He also enjoys board games and miniatures games. He prefers game mastering over playing, due to his love of world-building, reacting to the crazy things players do, and his enjoyment of improv. If he had a gaming specialty, it would be coming up with complex and interesting plot-arcs that are tied to the PCs on the fly, with little or no prep. He regularly attends DunDraCon and KublaCon in California.

The heroes are agents of The Estate, but since the […]

New Year, New Campaign

Well 2016 was a crazy year for me but as we enter the new year my creative juices are flowing. Our gaming group was unable to get together consistently for a while so its been board games and card games for those that can make it. However, we’re all on the same schedule for the […]

MacGuffin Ideas

March 14, 2016 By John Lewis

MacGuffin Ideas

A couple weeks ago Sam wrote a cool article on how to incorporate a MacGuffin into your RPG plot [here]. We received feedback from readers asking for more specific examples, not of existing MacGuffins but of ones that could be used effectively in an RPG format. The collaborative nature of story-telling in roleplaying games can […]
