Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Done a lot with my summer, but I never seem to get around to the hard creative work. So I’m reading a book on self-sabotage, The Mountain Is You by Brianna Wiest, and hoping it helps me. Got to get out from behind the creative (writing) block I’ve been having. 020

Probably some old school fantasy. 131
Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 26/06/2026The summer game group hiatus has stricken my regular RPG gang. People going on trips and vacations and such. We’ve paused the Shadow of the Weird Wizard game with one more adventure left. 010

Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 21/03/2026Great game night last night. Finished our first master tier adventure for Shadow of the Weird Wizard RPG. The heroes slew a really tough dragon in its lair. Lots of super heroics - spell throwing, a paladin with a fire aura, specialist warriors doing brutal damage with two handed weapons… great fun. 020
Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 23/02/2026First battle with a dragon in last Friday’s master tier adventure for Shadow of the Weird Wizard. Fighting on open ground definitely favors the dragon. Players did well, but some almost died. Thankfully they hurt it badly enough that it retreated. Time to beard it in its lair next session. 120
Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Had a fun game session tonight with the family. Playing the Hyperborea 2e RPG by way of the Gunderholfen megadungeon campaign. I’ve got a ranger, a warlock, and a magic-user. A little t of mapping, some fights with kobolds. ‘Twas a good evening. 150
Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 18/01/2026Started running this, our first adventure for the newly minted master level heroes, Friday night. I’m really enjoying this Shadow of the Weird Wizard campaign. PCs are getting pretty powerful at this level, so I’ll be interested to see if I can really challenge them with this one. 030

Bryan Smart @smartone.bsky.social · 24/12/2025My RPG year in review: I’ve really only been running three games this year. Shadow of the Weird Wizard for the Friday crew (just reached 7th level), Hyperborea for the work group (very rare), and old school D&D for the family (also very rare these days). Having a great time when we do play, though. 091
