Way back in October, I played a one shot adventure using Paizo’s Pathfinder #1, Burnt Offering. I wrote the session’s log here. We reconvened last Sunday for another session in a day long geekfest of Dim Sum, Anime and D&D. So on Sunday Morning we arrived at PM’s palace of Cats (he has 2) in […]

Finished the format war has
Toshiba announced today it would stop making HD-DVD equipment. Since they were the primary backer of the format, I think it’s safe to say the HD-DVD format is dead in the water, and the Blu-Ray emerges victorious… …Except I don’t think I know anyone who owns either one, except for those that happen to be […]
YouTube of the Week: Yakety Trap Edition
Some Benny Hill jokes… why not? The second one I found via Graham.
The Echo Chamber: 10 worst reasons to blog, Part 2
I’m dead tired, so I’ll tackle this instead on writing a sub-par Session report of our Pathfinder for newbies game (which went well for all except PM, he sucks at dice, period!) See part 1 here. The List is taken from Geeks are Sexy and posted by Piggybankpie‘s Patrick. Let’s continue, shall we? 6. Busted […]
Happy B’ Day Mr. Washington
As I can see from the vertiginous drop in readership, this be a long weekend for my American readers. Wikipedia graciously informed me that this holiday is actually to commemorate George Washington’s B’day (do note that American History is not taught up here in Canuck land). Well, enjoy your day off one and all. I’m […]
Inq. of the Week: Summer Movies ’08
Who would have thought that in such a innuendo laden poll that Portable Hole would be the most popular choice? Thankfully the Rod of Splendor and Holy Avenger tied at second place, but I was still very surprised that the ever vigilant Immovable Rod didn’t attract more people. This week we’re all pretty excited after seeing the new […]
The Echo Chamber: 10 worst reasons to blog, Part 1
Totally unrelated to RPGs, this is a pure Meta-blogging post. Still it will be of interest to RPG bloggers. Towards the end of the week, Graham sent me a cool link. It’s a guest post on Geeks are Sexy by Montreal-based blogger Patrick who runs the PiggyBankPie blog/project. This very funny and eerily accurate article […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Have Time, Will Travel.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the Bronze Dragon flying toward the sunset. In that post I challenged readers with a stupid question and the winner(s) could chose the subject of a Trope in RPG post. Davetrollkin stepped up first and requested I tackle Time Travel. Since time travel, much like the […]
Adventure Prep: The Newbie group, an Encore
Back in late October I posted an adventure prep article about doing a Demo D&D game for a group mostly made of D&D newbies based on Paizo’s Pathfinder #1 : Burnt Offering. The game was very entertaining, featuring crazy stupid goblins and some of the worse dice-craft I had ever seen in a game. A […]
Let the selling out begin
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is due out in June. This confirms rumors that Guitar Hero is releasing a few versions focusing around one band per game (though the initial rumor was U2.) Are there really big enough Aerosmith fans who want to buy a whole game of their stuff? Why isn’t this just extra downloadable content […]
