Having been playfully accused of doing some heavy comment baiting this week, here’s a more mundane campaign log! 🙂 The RPG season is winding down. Like some of my blogging buddies, we’re slowly getting ready to call it quits and it shows in our games. Still we managed to have a good time last Friday. […]

And now a little Farniente
If y’all don’t mind, I’m going to take a night off and enjoy the ride this blog has become lately for 24 hours or so. What with the contest and all, the Chatty minions have literally taken over and I love it! Great thanks to Shamus Young, Jeff Rients, Johnn Four and all the other […]
Jeez, Just Wait ’til you Get to Liberty City…
Obviously, Joe and Hill-rod are correct about video games!
10 Word Adventures Contest at ChattyDM
Phil the Chatty DM is holding a contest to get adventure synopses/hooks. The only catch? They have to be exactly 10 words. Yours truly will be helping to judge, so head over there now and give me tons of good stuff to look at! (And steal ideas from!)
Stealing a good idea: The 10 words adventure synopsis
In order to make up for my militant rant of last night, I thought I’d steal Penny Arcade’s excellent concept and give out a little brainstorming writing assignment for your RPG campaign and then share it Here’s the assignment, write an adventure concept (any genre) in exactly 10 words and post it in the comments. […]
Inq. of the Week: Multi-Classing
I thought that Dave’s musically inclined poll last week was great, because it’s one of those general questions that I probably would have never thought to ask. It looks like the most people prefer the alternative/indie/college rock genre (69%), which I find interesting when you consider that our age poll surprised us with more people […]
You Put That in Your Car?
Is it just me? Like your average working parent, I can’t look at the media’s alarmist take on the world food crisis (re: increasing prices of basic foodstuff ) and stay unfazed. Like many upper middle class North American, I probably don’t spend more than 10-15% of our household earnings on food. That’s why I […]
Chatty’s Review: Broadsword or Let Me Break that Sword on Your Head!
A few months ago, I promised fellow RPG blogger Jeff Mejia (infamously known as ‘The Evil Dm‘) that I’d review Broadsword, the indy RPG game he co-wrote with James Stubbs, as well as his recently published companion book World of Broadsword. As mentioned yesterday, instead of asking Jeff for free review copies (he offered to […]
Mini-Link: The Stew, the Rant and the Barbarian!
Super casual weekend post here, I’ve got my 90 minute Lasagna to prepare (Anyone want’s my recipe?) because tonight I have a special visitor! Extradited Montrealer and DMing blogger extraordinaire Yax is in town on vacation and I’ve invited him over for dinner. Now either expect us to seal our power sharing deal for world […]
The Teardown
Let’s start with an analogy. Let’s say you’ve just written a short story for class in college. You hand it in to your professor, and get a B. There are plenty of editor’s marks on it: spelling, grammar, some minor organizational stuff. Then there are the overall comments, like “doesn’t flow well” or “theme isn’t […]
