Somewhere between September and October of 2007, I wrote a series about comparing a RPG gaming group to a workplace project team. The analogy was rather solid and I got a lot of good feedback on it. Since then, I was pointed toward Kyle Aaron’s similar work over here. There, he pointed out a key […]

Heroes, Paragons, and Epics
In the run-up to Fourth Edition, WotC has promised that they will be doing updates and previews three times a week. (I promise we won’t post about every single one, just the interesting ones.) Today’s update is a doozy: it’s all about the three tiers of play. It describes, generally, what you can do at […]
Boardgame Reviews: Gathering of Friends 2008
I’m back (but not yet recovered) from the Gathering of Friends, the annual 10 day long boardgaming convention. This year, I mainly focused on playing prototypes, workshopping, and general hanging out. Thus, there wasn’t as much time to try all the new published games that have come out recently. Still, I had a list of […]
A RPG Truism
Over at Twenty-Sided, Shamus posted about The Sims and how some people enjoy this far longer than others. In one of his argument, he mentions his prolonged interests in Shooter type games. When challenged by a hypothetical person of a different demographics (man I love how he dodged so many mines in that post*) he […]
Steampunk Star Wars RPG… How cool would it be?
I love the concept of Steampunk Star Wars, I really do. It blends two styles that I really love: Space Opera and Jules Vernes’ Victorian setting. As I already talked about, blending two cool things together can result in an explosion of cool. I mean, just look at the Spork! (Credit: Graham) For instance, look […]
YouTube of the Week: Personal Bard Edition
A video that tells us what we already know: Bards are annoying. Found via Geek’s Dream Girl.
The Ultimate Retro-Stupid CRPG gets a facelift!
I got the info from RPG pundit’s blog (Read the man’s colorful prose at your own risk). The grand daddy of free geek CRPGs(Computer RPG), Nethack, has had a recent facelift. I’ve been playing NetHack on and off for more than 10 years, much to the amusement of my buddies who can’t fathom how I […]
Inq. of the Week: So Full of Class?
Okay so Dave managed to prove me wrong when I said it felt like a lot of people were getting tired of April Fool’s on the internet. The most people voted that some of the pranks are fun, but some are getting tired, while almost as many people said that they love how creative some […]
La Ville est Hockey (The City is Hockey)
After 15 years without a Stanley Cup win, Montreal is going bonkers over its own team. I’m no big Hockey fan but I too am succumbing to the fever. I’m therefore throwing a challenge to the geek blogsphere. Any Boston Bruins fan Bloggers reading this? If you are, I bet that the Habs will win […]
DM Chronicles 15: Weathering the Apocalyspe with your Poker Buddies
In the game session 2 weeks ago, I concluded the party’s foray in the Demonwebs layer of the Abyss with the wretching of Ptolus (the campaign’s home base) out of the material world and plopping it up in another layer of the Abyss ruled by the Demon Prince Gratzz. Last Friday’s game wasn’t stellar nor […]
