In which Chatty DM rambles about the cool things brought on by blogging. On July 24th, 2007 after 2 failed attempts on MSN Space and Live Journal, I finally made a jump to blogging using Google’s Blogger. Having no clear idea what to actually talk about, I started rambling about my future campaign, online tools, […]
Archives for 2007
Congratulations, Original Sultan!
A hearty round of congratulations from everyone at Critical Hits to guest reviewer and frequent commenter Original Sultan who was married this past weekend. We wish him the best in his life to come (aided by his new magic ring that has many powers and bonuses, I’m sure). As an added bonus, here’s an embarrassing […]
Inquisition of the Week: Best Game of 2007
We’re going to run the poll for another week to see if more people will come forward to defend the honor of 2007. Reverend Mike makes a great point that it might not be as good as we hoped with the Writer’s Strike messing up the movie and tv schedules. I should also point out […]
My D&D Flavour: House Rules for Badass Heroes.
Tommi made a post suggestion in my last Adventure Prep post: “How about a brief summary of the house rules you use for those who have not read everything you have ever posted”? I’m happy to comply…. except for the brief part. 😀 The core of the rules we use is D&D 3.5 with a […]
Holy Green Giant Clay Golem!
This is a short mini-post just to showcase my latest D&D Miniature acquisitions. As I usually do, I buy 2 boosters of each and every D&D mini series they make. The latest one, Desert of Desolation is full of goodies for my future game sessions. Look a Bone Devil, a Spined Devil, a Fire elemental, […]
Game Doctors: Tales of the Arabian Nights
A friend and member of my design group Jacob started a series of articles under the heading of “Game Doctors” to try and fix published games under our watchful eye. There are a few games that we’ve started playing quite often, but being the perfectionist game designers we are, have made a few changes. So […]
Review: I Am Legend
Even though I Am Legend came out in theaters two weeks ago on December 14th, many people have not seen it yet possibly because of the mixed reviews it has recieved. Ever since we saw the first teaser that gave no indication of anything other than Will Smith being alone in the city, my wife […]
Adventure Prep: Of Planescaping and High Intensity Hacking, Part 1
Here I sit, mentally preparing myself for the next half of our D&D 07-08 season. As I promised my players almost 5 months ago, I’m sending them Plane-hoping in the Great Cosmic Wheel. I’m done reading Planescape and while I love the setting’s potential, I was rather irritated by the late 90’s “Storytelling is a […]
DM Chronicles, Session 8: Heroic Conclusions
Previously in Phil’s game: Our Heroes beat the leader of the Cult of Sehan and various other aberrations in an ancient tomb that predates modern Ptolus. After a short rest on Andach’s island, they returned, searching for a way to that pool of glowing green slime that may or may not contain Sehan. They had […]
Want an Avatar by your Comments?
I’ve decided to switch over to Gravatars, since the SexyComments plugin that I use makes it easy. I initially used it with MyBlogLog avatars, but ever since they were bought out, it seems to have gone totally fubar. I know a couple of you have signed up for accounts with MBL to use avatars, and […]
