Any Feedback On Budge?

The Monster Adventure

February 11, 2011 · by Patrick Benson · in Creatures & Monsters

The movie Jaws, Frankenstein’s monster, Godzilla, and so many more examples are out there of how the monster is not just an entity to be battled but is the adventure itself. Unfortunately RPGs tend to promote the “See it and…

Where Should I Promote Budge?

February 2, 2011 · by Patrick Benson · in Uncategorized

Quick post for today, because instead of sharing information with you I am asking for your help. Where on the web should I promote Budge? To be precise, where can I find people willing to give me critical and useful…

Taking Five

February 1, 2011 · by Patrick Benson · in Writing
