This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Looking for an old blog...

There was a blog back in the day, where it was written as the exploits, trials, and tribulations of a DM from the late 80s into the 90s or so.
Some of the things I remember:
-a very weird Call of Cthulhu session in a washroom, where there packed in and a Billy Ray Cyrus poster...just..staring.at.them.
- a Lords of Creation game where one of players insists he bring his motorcycle onto the sub they had
- he tells of a session during the Gulf War where it degenerates into two players yelling at each other "No blood for oil!" vs. "Down with Saddam!" or something like that
- another CoC game where the main NPC is the ultimate Mary Sue
- a road trip to a con (i think) where one of the passengers is arguing with our narrator over if he has anything else but Tom Waits to listen to on the tape player

Does anyone remember this blog?
Send a link if you do. I want to read over it again, because I recall it was a hoot. Almost like a real life Knights of the Dinner Table.
thanks

Man, that has been a while. Al Bruno III's Binder of Shame. All I remembered at first was the phrase "A Day at the Inn, A Night at the Racists," but duckduckgo got me there.

That's the second link. The very first is broken, but the rest seem to work.
