Back in October I posted about the tools and props I used in my D&D games. Well since my game is ready and good to go, I took a few more pictures of how I organize my things to have the smoothest of Crunchy game sessions. My DMing Corner: I have a recently renovated room […]

"A Band of Orcs" Wants to Encounter You
Everybody’s favorite Orcish-themed death/thrash metal band, A Band of Orcs, is holding a contest to see who can write the most brutal encounter involving a band of orcs for D&D. Check it out because the deadline is soon- January 21st. Players in my current D&D game will find that this nicely coincides with an encounter […]
The 4e OGL: Joining forces with my Nemesis
A lot of digital ink has flowed on the subject of the changes to the way the 4e OGL will be handled. I’ve chimed in on Critical Hits and Omnius’ blog about it. The debate rages on and will for some time and I don’t want to spend any more on this than needed (It’s […]
Holy Crap: Darth Vader and Yoda in Soul Calibur IV
Kotaku reports that Darth Vader will appear as a special character in Soul Calibur IV for PS3, and Yoda will appear in the Xbox 360 version. Soul Calibur is my favorite fighting game franchise, with a history of strange guest starring characters (Spawn and Link, anyone?) I was ready to give the fourth installment a […]
What Awaits my Players…
I finished my game prep early enough to drop by here and make another mini-post. This time it’s a preview of what awaits my players and is also a showcase of what you can do with the D&D battlemaps, tiles and miniatures. First we have our heroes leaving the Styx’ Oarsman, a newly opened inn […]
Mini-Link: Iron Heroes Total Fanboi cop-out from an actual post
That title reminds me that I still haven’t received my Pathfinder #4 yet… I need to drop Paizo a line… The US Postal Service is, shall we say, not the swiftest there is. I already mentioned there might not be a post tonight, well this one is, sort of. It’s just not as meaty as […]
New Search feature being playtested
Following Greywulf’s glowing review, I signed up for Lijit’s search service which offers full blog search as well as for those of my blogroll and other feeds I added to it. Fell free to play with it and comment on how it turns out. If you prefer the original WordPress one, just tell me (and […]
Review: Freezepop "Future Future Future Perfect"
Freezepop isn’t a household band name, but gamers have a greater chance of recognizing their brand of catchy synthpop. The band has contributed songs to a few video games (most notably for bonus tracks in Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero 2, and Rock Band– one of the members of the band works for Harmonix.) They also […]
(Not so)Mini-Crunch: Magic loot by any other name.
I’m fresh back from the Gym, proud in my willpower to have resisted the pull of World of Warcraft and the Blog to take care of me first…. I’m also quite aware of the WotC announcement about the way they plan to handle the next version of the OGL and it’s associated brand license (the […]
Today's 4e Announcement and What It Means For You
Pretty big announcement from WotC, as covered by ENWorld, about the future of the licensing agreement formerly known as the d20 License. Most of it won’t matter to the casual D&D player. But here’s some tidbits that might be important (and keep in mind, everything is subject to change, this is all interpretation): Until 2009, […]
