Whenever you discuss alignment in Dungeons & Dragons, the conversation inevitably veers towards focusing on Chaotic Neutral. Alignment is a tool used to generalize a character’s personality, feelings, and outlook on life that is divided into two portions.

No post tonight, Reading Silvervine!
Tonight, I’m going to spend the time I usually write these post to do some intense reading of John Arcadian’s Silvervine game rules. my free time/available energy ratio is pretty low right now so I have to prioritize even my hobbies… And I really want to tackle the review of the crunchy bits of John’s […]
Mini-Fluff'N'Crunch: Requiem for my Bronze Friend
That perfidious and oh so diabolical Yax has been reading all those “WotC presents” books and, through his Red Dragon comic-relief Minion Expy, has announced that our cherished Wizards on the Coast are revamping the dragons. One thing that broke my heart a bit (the cynics will say that WotC has ripped out theirs long […]
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
Last weekend at my regular D&D game, one of my players asked me “where I get this stuff” while unrolling a copy of the Magma Keep battlemap. For the past few years- actually, ever since the first D&D Miniatures set came out- I’ve been collecting minis and maps to use with D&D. For some reason, […]
TV's Terminator Review
I was all set to hate this show. I didn’t think it was going to work in any way, shape, or form. I was surprised. And, most importantly, I was entertained. There was some surprisingly good writing in the show (as well as some really stupid plot holes).

This is the blog’s 200th post! I’ve written a lot of stuff in the last few months, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Thank you one and all for giving me the continued gratification of reading these many lines! Now instead of making this a stats-laden article, I thought I’d write another post from my most […]
Inq. of the Week: Are you Ready to Rock?
Good triumphant! That’s what last week’s poll about your favorite alignment determined, with a surprising 74 people thus far weighing in. Neutral Good was the top flavor of good, since most of you hero types believe that Good should not care about Law or Chaos. Second up was the champion of individuality and freedom, Chaotic […]
DM Chronicles, Session 9: Troubled re-beginnings
This is a continuing series on my current D&D campaign with my buddies. I had no illusions that this week’s game was going to be stellar. My 1st goal of the evening was to get with my pals for the 1st the of the new year and celebrate my 35th Birthday (which was yesterday) and […]
Assassin's Creed: Video Let-Down
You hear about them, you see commercials and advertisements about them for months, their release dates are marked on calendars across the globe, and the keywords are getting thousands of hits daily on search engines everywhere…. Maybe you’re first in line on release day, maybe you wait it out and hear good things so you […]
