Review: The Classic Dungeon
The Big Picture: The Classic Dungeon is a board game with a simple premise: venture into a dungeon, kill the monsters, take their treasure, and escape. The game is based on a D&D style fantasy theme, and the players take the role of adventurers. But unlike in D&D, where the adventurers work together, in this […]
Catch-Up Mechanics and that Damn Blue Shell
I think we can all agree that it sucks to be losing. In most games, it’s inevitable that someone will be losing. However, good games will try to convince every player that he has a chance of winning up to the very end (while still rewarding those who did well throughout the course of the […]
Of Judging and Other Stuff
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 […]
Adventure Prep: Grand Finale, World Saved? Roll Credits!
There we are, this is going to be the last Adventure Prep post of the current campaign. A lot of things were said since that September 6th night where I pondered how to salvage a campaign that started on the wrong foot. Now I’m planning how to end it. Last game, the PCs met with […]

Chatty’s Debates: Paizo vs WotC
Let’s try something new. I’ve noticed lately that we have quite a few articulate and passionate people over here. Its also clear from the passions that rise around 4e that there is a lot to get out of our collective system. So instead of writing an opinion piece this morning, here is a question to […]
Odds and Ends
I just finished compiling the list of contest entries and I posted the whole list over here in the forums. I’m not going to write another article tonight, I’m pretty much spent. Here’s a few tidbits. On the Contest There are 96 participants in the 10 word adventure contest. I lost count after 300, but […]
“Mouse Guard” RPG: A Points of Light setting
This past weekend while picking up my free comics, I grabbed the Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 collection. This is a great fantasy comic series about elite mice who protect a tiny kingdom from threats both external (crabs, snakes, and other large creatures) and internal (traitorous officials.) I had owned several of the individual issues before […]
