I am a Dungeon Master trapped in a school as an ESL teacher, running experiments to survive.
These blog posts are my notes: small trials in storytelling, game mechanics, and classroom magic.

If you are a fellow Dungeon Master trying to make boring lessons feel alive again, you are welcome here. Read along, or call out to me.
