After publishing my last post, I spent some time thinking about my statement that I was “gaming in a bubble.” After some reflection—and a few conversations with friends—I realized some nuance is in...
Welcome back to my 40-year retrospective as a gamer. If the early years were defined by beautiful chaos, 1993 was the pivot. At that time, my gaming schedule was highly irregular. We’d get...
A new Stars Without Number (SWN) supplement dropped five days ago, and I missed it! How could I? It’s not like any important event happened this past weekend around February 14th, or that...
Welcome back to my 40 Years a Gamer retrospective. In the last post, I looked at the first game I played. But today, I want to talk about the early years of playing...
I just saw that Far West Redux is live on BackerKit, and it hit me with a wave of nostalgia. I was a backer of the original Kickstarter way back in 2011. If you know...
I’ve been interested in the history of tabletop role-playing games (TTRPGs) in Puerto Rico for a long time. Back in 2017, I started an initiative to track down exactly how Dungeons & Dragons...
Nostalgia. We’ve been riding that wave for a while now. While I have certainly been guilty of buying into it, there is an argument to be made that if we are always revisiting...
Rise from Your Grave! Geeknic 29 is Back from the Dead Klaatu… Barada… GEEKNIC! It has been too long, but the stars have finally aligned (and we remembered the exact words this time)....
Someone recently asked me when I started playing D&D. When I told them it was the mid-80s, their eyes lit up. “Wow! The 80s. You had the Stranger Things experience.” I stopped reflecting...
In Part 1, I talked about my love for Worlds Without Number and how it scratches that specific itch for fantasy d20 gaming. But what about everything else? What about pulp sci-fi, weird...
If you follow my Sunglar’s Musings Facebook page description, you might have noticed I mention reviews there. Well, it is time to deliver. I am writing this post here and a similar (Facebook-friendly)...
Preamble: This post is closely tied to a post I wrote during RPG a Day this year, for day 21, Unexpected. It inspired me to dig deeper into adventures I’ve run as a...
Hello friends! Welcome back. Continuing my celebration of 40 years in this hobby, today I want to move from the “proto-history” I wrote about in my last post to the actual history. The...
Hello friends! Welcome to 2026. This year marks a special occasion for me. This coming July will mark the 40th anniversary of the very first tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) session I played. My...
As 2025 draws to a close and I take stock of the past year, I feel this year has been challenging. Nationally, internationally, the world feels on the brink of dark times. I...
Stop me if you’ve heard (read really) say this before! I am a lucky gamer. I have been playing role-playing games for going on four decades. Our gaming group has been meeting every...
So, we come to the end of RPG a Day 2025. Allow me to get a little sentimental. I’ve been participating in RPG a Day for 11 years, and this process has been...
