While wandering around the GenCon 2008 exhibit hall, one booth caught my eye: Cubicle 7 Entertainment, which had signs all over the booth advertising the upcoming Dr. Who RPG. I’m a huge fan of the new Dr. Who series, so I had to stop and ask about it. (I also remembered playing in a Dr. […]

Critical Hits Podcast #9: Actual Play with James Wyatt
During GenCon 2008, Bartoneus, ChattyDM, GamingSteve, and myself had the privilege to be in a D&D session run by James Wyatt, author of the DMG (who we interviewed later on in the con– this is the game we referenced at the beginning of the interview.) It was a straightforward dungeon delve, with Wyatt starting the […]
Memorable Death/Moments in Comics…
… done with Peeps and Bunnies. Strange and quite clever. My favorite after the cut.
Chatty’s Bedtime Campaign: Bend it like Nico!
Oh yeah, he was expecting it tonight. As soon as teeth were brushed and pyjamas were worn (i.e. an old T-shirt of mine… Enjoy every second of the time when your kids hero worship you, it won’t last), my little 6 year old Laser Knight was ready to continue his adventures. Chatty: Okay so you […]
One-Sentence NPC contest winners
Way back in late June, Johnn Four and I launched a big contest to get readers from both sites to submit one sentence long NPC descriptions. Summer vacations and Gen Con interfered and the results have been long coming. Well, I’m back and tonight’s post will be to announce the winners and prizes for the […]
The Defense of Laser Clerics and Infinite Wizards
We take a short break from our GenCon writeups to bring you some commentary… ChattyDM likes laser clerics. Tommi does not. There’s one unaddressed tangent to the issue that I really like in relation to 4e. In previous editions, magic was a limited resource, and it was restricted. Wizards memorized spells that did specific things, […]
Epic Laundry Basket: Console Music Games
I finally Bought Rock Band for the PS2. Start playing Guitar Hero and Rockband at Medium. You’ll thank me later. 21 words.
Interview: Randall Bills from Catalyst Game Labs, Publisher of Classic Battletech
As Dave and I roamed around the exhibition hall at GenCon 2008, we had some interview set up but we also took it upon ourselves to do a few interviews and talk to a few developers about games that we really like. For me, one of the first games / booths I gravitated towards was […]
Gen Con 2008, Lessons Learned
I started Gen Con 2008 with some doubts about my ability to go up to designers and say hi. I’m an extroverted, exceedingly chatty person.. but when I’m not introduced to someone, I clamp up real good. Except, something happened to me somewhere during the second day. Probably during the 126 players chaosfest that was […]
Inq. of the Week: YouTube of the Year?
Sorry for the delay, between site issues (which unfortunately might not be solved yet) and our massive GenCon coverage, i was delayed in announcing the nominees for YouTube of the Year! Doing a YouTube every week is what really knocked me into doing a schedule for Critical Hits and (I think) a key part of […]
