Of Judging and Other Stuff

May 9, 2008 by The Chatty DM

No planned posts today as I’ll be spending the free time before tonight’s D&D game continuing the judging of the 10 word adventure contest.

I got some news from Paizo and we may get more prizes as the request got sent to the marketing department (no pressure here guys!). Keep your fingers crossed.

I added a link to subscribe to the feed by email. Also, I added a little subscription counter to show you just how many we are here! Weee, just 4 shy of 300! We’ll be able to storm the Persians soon!

I’m also working on a new Trope post with the highly unlikely title of The Truman Mirror Tomato Surprise!

With a title like that I can’t go wrong right?

Yeah, I might change that…

Be good!

    Oh yeah I forgot.

    I finally got around to submitting the Blog for Best Fan site for the Gen Con’s Ennies award.

    While I have no grand illusions of winning that thing, I still chose a Nomination song as requested.

    Here it is… (Thanks to Bartoneous)

    Distilled Rule of Cool!
    Weee!

    Thank Bartoneus, he’s the one that posted it (I’d never hear the end of it otherwise…)

    Good luck!

    While I don’t post comments normally, I would certainly vote for this site. I read the blog daily during the week and even steal some of your idea for my own campaign. **Oops, I meant “get inspired” by your ideas** I would never out-right steal an idea.

    Hey Jozie, thanks for the vote of confidence.

    Steal away, steal away… while I own the writing, the ideas are free to be used in your games!

    What am I? Some sort of elemental being of spite?

    Thanks Chatty, glad you like Knights of Cydonia as much as we do!

    Well, I would vote for you Chatty… If I didn’t enter in the same category! You. Are. Going. Down.

    Hehe.

    As I keep saying it’s going to come down to a down and out, Streets of New York type of rumble in the Halls of the convention center.

    Saddle your (red)Dragonborn Ninjas because I’m taking my Robot Warlock Pirates with me!

    Chatty, sorry I didn’t submit another set of five to kick the total over 300, but I’m DMing a game of my own again for the first time in years, and it had to take precedence.

    If it helps, the Saturday before last’s 15-round epic battle in which the 4 heroes took down the ship and crew of the Spiked Maiden, the most infamous pirates on the campaign’s local inland sea, was a huge success, climaxing with the defeat of the tongue-amputating renegade Nimblewright captain right in front of the triggered and counting-down self-destruct mechanism just before he could capture another victim to install as a new arcanoborged helmsman.

    @Yax: Oh I will! 🙂

    @Acksiom: That must have been a cool fight. Thanks for the link to the creature…. what is that site? A shared-space DM notebook? That’s a cool concept!
