This morning I woke up covered in (figurative) blood. I had just been the target of James and Harry (of Men with Pens‘s fame) Drive-by Shooting Sundays. The rather colorful and fluffed-up setup is actually a lookover consultation of the blog from the eyes of trained online buisness men. While I knew that the Blog […]

HONK!
From the WTF Crossover Department…
Many years after Capcom vs. Marvel, the other side(s) have responded! A Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe game looks to be in development (and has a brief Sub-Zero vs. Batman brawl trailer.) I suppose in video games, ridiculous crossovers will never go out of style, no matter how advanced the graphics are! Who wants to […]
“You’re a disgrace to Tauren culture,” said the shaman Lolhamburger
Normally I don’t link to Penny Arcade, since telling gamers to read Penny Arcade is like telling ninjas to sneak around: it’s just gonna happen anyway. Today’s column is well worth reading and recommending. The results of their “Exactly 10 Words about WoW” contest were posted today. There’s some really good ones in there, both […]
Chatty’s Random Thoughts: Potions
Chatty steps on the stage and walks up to the mike, looking nervous. He clears his throat, takes a deep breath and starts. How ya doin? Nice to see y’all here. All right, what’s the deal with potions? I mean it’s a spell that you drink. You chug that little bottle of power and it […]
300th Post!
Hell, I’ve been trying to say something about my 300th post and everything sounds either clinically boring or monstrously egocentric. This is my 3rd stab at it… Bottom line, I can’t believe I made it that far and I owe it all to you that take a few minutes to read my ramblings! It means […]
WotC: “That $5k license thing? Just kidding.”
Some new details about the GSL finally posted after a lot of speculation and delay. Sounds like you can be approved to use a “D&D Compatible” logo, and anyone can use a GSL after publication. (And no one is going to have to pay $5k.) This ends the conspiracy theories that Hasbro insisted that they […]
The Stages of a RPG Team’s Development, Part 6: Stagnation
Somewhere between September and October of 2007, I wrote a series about comparing a RPG gaming group to a workplace project team. The analogy was rather solid and I got a lot of good feedback on it. Since then, I was pointed toward Kyle Aaron’s similar work over here. There, he pointed out a key […]
Heroes, Paragons, and Epics
In the run-up to Fourth Edition, WotC has promised that they will be doing updates and previews three times a week. (I promise we won’t post about every single one, just the interesting ones.) Today’s update is a doozy: it’s all about the three tiers of play. It describes, generally, what you can do at […]
Boardgame Reviews: Gathering of Friends 2008
I’m back (but not yet recovered) from the Gathering of Friends, the annual 10 day long boardgaming convention. This year, I mainly focused on playing prototypes, workshopping, and general hanging out. Thus, there wasn’t as much time to try all the new published games that have come out recently. Still, I had a list of […]
