Lillee, Yan’s Pixie Arcane Caster is leaving the group this week to be replaced by a new character. While our group hasn’t developed strong ties or built any spectacular interrelations, there was something building between Lillee’s concern for Cruger’s well being and Cruguer’s pained tolerance of that somewhat annoying little ball of energy.

Con-flagration
I’m planning on attending a number of conventions in the upcoming months. I thought I’d share my plans, and how it relates to Critical Hits. February D&D Experience: Bartoneus and I are planning on attending, and trying to interview members of the 4e design team. We also plan to try to play some 4e ourselves, […]
Tweaking Classes for Cooler Characters: The Shaper postmortem
A while back, Yan and I designed a new D&D core class based on the Monster Manual’s Pixie and Monte Cook’s variant Sorcerer (from the Complete book of Eldritch Might, or CBoEM) called the Shaper.

It’s going to be my 1st stay in Indianapolis and my 1st Gen Con experience. I’ll stock up on sleep beforehand! Here’s […]
Pathfinder #4 preview: Wolfgang Baur must really hate me
This is a continuing series of short posts on Paizo’s Pathfinder adventure path magazine. The image is Copyright 2007 Paizo Publishings. Yeah I haven’t done one of those in quite some time (Dec 7 to be more precise) for a very good reason, I never got my #4 issue of Pathfinder (written by none other […]
Inq. of the Week: Edition to the Fourth
It just goes to show you, if Dave puts up a picture of a giant squid most of the people are going to vote for that entry! Kraken/Giant Squid pulled out the win as most popular aquatic menace, beating out the great old Cthulhu and Dagon. I am personally amazed that the Giant Lobster (sticks […]
Chatty’s Review: Alex Robinson Lower Region’s
A few weeks ago, I got an email from a Leigh Walton from Top shelf productions saying they were sending me a copy of a Sword & Sorcery Graphic Novel by artist Alex Robinson ‘for my consideration’. I assume this is a nice way to say “feel free to review it on your blog”. Once […]
