After stopping by a few stores and calling a few more, it seemed clear to me that I wasn’t going to pick up a copy of Wii Fit. (And that means I won’t be buying it any time soon… sigh.) I was able to find solace by downloading the demo for Penny Arcade Adventures: On […]

Chatty’s Debates: Black Box vs Process-Response design
While pondering the darker reaches of a parent’s anxiety and trying to think of something else, I came upon a post by user Blackeagle on EnWorld’s board. It’s so good and it touches so many things I was thinking about 4e that I decided to repost it here. Instead of making a Chatty on 4e […]
Gen Con & Origins are a GO
I have received official word that my press passes for Gen Con and Origins (and one for my assistant at Origins) have been processed. So I shall be at both, barring some catastrophic event (either in me or my car.) I’ll try to do a bit more indepth coverage than I have in previous years, […]
False Spam Alerts
I just noticed that some comments get caught by my multi-leveled Spam filtering system (Mostly those with links)… Namely Felonius and Shadow145 lately. Just a quick note to tell you that should your comment be eaten up by my anti-spam system, just notify me on Gtalk (phil(dot)menard(at)gmail.com) or at chattydm@chattydm.net and I’ll bring it back.

Taking a few days off.
My 6 year old son has a somewhat major surgery scheduled for this Friday. Nothing life threatening, but they have to take something in the bone behind his ear that’s not supposed to be there and that’s slowly making it deaf as it grows. Any parents reading this will understand that as excited as I […]
Session Report & Review: Keep on the Shadowfell (Part 1)
We were very privileged to receive a promotional copy of the first Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition adventure module, entitled Keep on the Shadowfell, which comes with a small set of quick start rules as an introduction to the yet-to-be-released edition of the game. Dave and I took the opportunity to gather a group of […]
YouTube of the Week: Actione! Velocita! Goblin! Edition
Italian Spiderman. Every place I’ve seen it have said that the “full film” is being released May 22. I have no idea what it is going to be, but hey, the trailer’s funny!
I, Demon: This is getting interesting…
This is my play session log of our re-started d20 World of Darkness game (written by Monte Cook and published late last year). I’m writing in character because it allows me to explore a more narrative writing style, but I’ll pepper it with Out of Character (OOC) comments on the actual game. The main thing […]
Inq. of the Week: Fantasy Influences
Last week, we wanted to know which side of the screen you preferred to be on. 54% are multiclassed player/GMs and enjoy both. Players-only was next with 25%, and 19% were power-hungry I mean GM only. Only 1 of you responded that you don’t play, which I suppose means we know our audience! Spinning out […]
