One Sentence NPC Update
I haven’t forgotten about you. The One Sentence contest closed last week end. I formatted all entries posted on the blog and sent them to Johnn Four for processing. As soon as I hear from him, I’ll let you know. We’ll post the edited entries here and on Johnn’s site (I think). P.S. Did ya […]
Comment issues: Defensio gets the Boot, Akismet called back in
I’ve been having incresing troubles with Defensio spamming my fellow blogger’s comments and Trackbacks. Since the last thing I want is to create a hassle for readers and delay their comments, I’ve booted Defensio out and reactivated Akismet. If any of you are experimenting similar (or other) commenting issues let me know at chattydm@chattydm.net. Sorry […]
So you wanna write a RPG Blog? Part 1: Why?
Blogging is a strange beast. There are literally tens of millions of blogs on the internet. I’m sure most are inactive or are nothing more than Bot-driven post-stealing Google Ads strewn smears but it’s still a very impressive number. Even in the restricted niche of RPG blogs there seems to be scores of blogs (my […]
Watchmen Trailer
If you haven’t heard yet, the Watchmen trailer is out! I believe it’s showing before The Dark Knight, in which case I’ll be very excited to see it on the big screen at midnight tonight. But do you really think you’d have to wait until then to see it, of course not! You can check it out […]
Moderates have fun too!

D&D 4E: First Major Round of Errata
Wizards has posted errata and updates to the 4th Edition D&D core rulebooks, and there are quite a bit of changes / fixes. Head over to the Wizard’s site and check out the text pdf’s, I’ve printed them out and am wondering how exactly I am going to efficiently going to use them. Some highlights […]
Stop Having Fun: My Game is Better than your Game
Spinning out of Chatty’s discussion on the “Tyranny of Fun“, we see that what a lot of the argument boils down to is that people have different playstyles and tastes, and different games meet those playstyles and tastes. However, many of the “Edition Warriors” out there attempt to frame it as a matter of one […]

For the overview of what all of this means, see the original article. Therein you will find my analysis of the HQ, Troops and […]
Tidbits from E3 that I have liked
Since, for some reason, our tickets to E3 never arrived, I’ve been following the news through a few of the big video game blogs, and picking some things out that interest me: Xbox 360 will be able to stream Netflix movies if you have a subscription. I’ve never gotten the streaming video to work on […]
