Dispatches from the Raven Crowking Volume 3
elcome to Dispatches from Raven Crowking's Nest Volume III. Pull up a chair¸ set your drink near your hand¸ and let's talk. That's pretty much what this is. Chatting about games in general¸ and Dungeon Crawl Classics in particular.
As the name implies¸ Dispatches has its genesis in my blog¸ Raven Crowking's Nest. Dispatches has a few advantages over the free blog versions of the same material. First off¸ the material has been re-edited¸ cleaned up¸ and in some cases expanded. Secondly¸ and perhaps most importantly¸ it is in print so that you can keep it on your gaming shelf. Finally¸ Dispatches will contain some new material as well…a "thank you" for your continued interest!
I have opinions - lots of them! - but I'm going to dispense with the "IMHO"s and "IME"s¸ and assume that you¸ the Gentle Reader¸ are smart enough to know that I am talking about my own opinions and experiences. And¸ if I am wrong in that assumption¸ feel free to tell me so!
This volume focuses on articles related to creating sandbox environments. Although these articles use the excellent Dungeon Crawl Classics system¸ the general principles are adaptable to almost any game system.
