# GROG Space Destroy Evil. Drink Grog. ![[_assets/cover-home.mov.hq.webp]] Welcome to Old Man Umby's gaming webportal for published tabletop RPG content, plus live online and play-by-post campaigns. # Old Man Umby Gamer. Designer. Writer. Publisher. Tinkerer. Pro GM. ![[_assets/oldmanumby.webp|Old Man Umby]] I follow a gamer-first philosophy. I love to create and play roleplaying games. I started playing RPGs on Easter Weekend in 1980. I've played and mastered many games, far more than I can recount here. I have my favs, but there are still many I would love to explore. I have many years of experience running "sandbox-style" long-term campaigns. I run online games as I would around a table; no slow-play VTTs. I use "theatre-of-the-mind" with the occasional maps in [D&D Beyond Maps](https://www.dndbeyond.com/games) or [Owlbear Rodeo](https://owlbear.rodeo). ## Latest Articles The latest blog and news articles from Old Man Umby.
