Depending on how long you have been a reader here, you know that the biggest inside joke here is that whenever I say I’ll stop posting for some time (for whatever reason), it’s usually the best sign that I’m on the verge of starting a posting storm. No wonder I wrote 400 posts in one year. […]

Vote for the Ennies
(Image Source: The Ennies Website) The Ennies is the Roleplaying equivalent of the Oscars. All fans can vote for their favorites. I just voted and I encourage you to do so. You have until August 6th. You can vote here. Yes I submitted this site and I didn’t get nominated, my friend Yax did… (for […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 5: Then What?
In the last 2 weeks, I wrote a primer about starting a new RPG blog. While I knew it wasn’t going to be all that original, I thought that would-be RPG bloggers could benefit from it. It turns out they did as I’m already seeing a few new RPG blogs cropping up (Here’s one and […]
3rd Party D&D GSL/OGL Publishers
Since there have been two major updates in the past day, here’s the list of companies that I know of (and let me know if there’s any I’ve missed, I’ll try to add them) that have or specifically have not signed the GSL. I’ve also tried to source them in some way. Necromancer Games: Staying […]
Rage, Song, and Shapeshift are all coming back
ENWorld is reporting, via the WotC 2009 catalog sent to retailers, that you’ll see the return of some familiar faces in PHB2: the Players Handbook 2 will include Druid, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Bard, and Swordmage classes (eight in all). New races will include the gnome, the half-orc, and the goliath. Cynics can now engage their “only […]
“Free comic like instant courage — only find it on Internet.”
A few pieces of random Watchmen mania (Watchmania?) First of all, this is genius. Second, a Chip Kidd-designed Watchmen extras book is awesome. Finally, while playing around with my new video iPod, I came across a Watchmen “motion comic” on iTunes. Only the first episode is up, but it’s free, so I checked it out. […]
We be Chatty Geeks
So 24 hours (and about 80 comments) after publication, a lot has been discussed about yesterday’s post. I don’t want to spend more time on this. I feel it’s time I put my money where my mouth is and leave discussion about the D&D edition transition behind me and start focusing on the near future […]
Why You Shouldn’t Watch Firefly
Many, if not most of you, have already viewed Joss Whedon’s Firefly series and the follow-up film, Serenity. This article is not intended for you; however, let me say that I’m sorry. I now feel your pain, because some supposed “friends” convinced Bart and I to view the series. I had many reservations about it, […]
Some Pleasant Overlap
I’ve noticed lately that there seem to be two groups of people who really enjoy 4e, and who are coming back to it after years of not playing D&D: WoW Players Eurogamers Now, I think I’ve shied away from pointing this out because early on, these were used as derogatory statements against 4e. (I still […]
(Not)Understanding The D&D Geek
I think everyone can agree that Wizards of the Coast has issues with 4e and it’s digital initiative. Yesterday’s announcement of the demise of the Gleemax Gamer Social Network experiment and the continued fan backlash over everything 4e is eating up at Wizards’ reputation as the trustworthy keeper of two of the world’s most popular […]
