Review: “Piratz Tavern” in Silver Spring, MD
Yesterday, for mother’s day, my mom had only one request for the traditional dinner: she wanted to go to the Piratz Tavern, a pirate-themed restaurant in downtown Silver Spring.

Adventure Prep: Grand Finale, World Saved? Roll Credits!
There we are, this is going to be the last Adventure Prep post of the current campaign. A lot of things were said since that September 6th night where I pondered how to salvage a campaign that started on the wrong foot. Now I’m planning how to end it. Last game, the PCs met with […]
