Draconis Day#1: Swords & Wizardry
Sorry I couldn’t manage to do 5 Capsule Review, Con prep took a little longer than expected. Last night’s game of S&W was as awesome, hilarious and fun as I expected it to be. I ran Chgowiz’s exceedingly well designed adventure from the Quick-Start kit. Instead of giving you the play by play, I’ll repost […]
Leveling Up As An Inexperienced DM
I still consider myself an inexperienced DM. the 4th Edition campaign that I’m currently running has just passed twenty adventures and is the longest campaign I’ve ever run. Hell, it was the longest game I’ve ever run when it hit ten adventures back in May.
Statement from Wizards of the Coast Regarding Fansite Toolkit
Months back, Wizards of the Coast released their “Fansite Toolkit”, essentially a package of images that could be used for bloggers and similar in exchange for agreeing to, well, a lot of terms about citations, trademarks, and usage.

Capsule Review Week: Intro and DDO Eberron unlimited
I’ll be spending most of the coming week preparing for Montreal’s Draconis gaming convention (where I’ll host a Dungeon Reality Show game, 2 Swords and Wizardry games and both a French and English Seminar on DMing 4e). While I initially thought I’d take the week off from Blogging, my evil backstabbing mastermind lieutenant PM mentioned […]
Champions Online: Being 13 Forever
Oh yeah, like some others, I succumbed to to the Champions Online bug. I’ll post a short review later this week but in the meantime I had to share a few screenshots of my latest PC, the 4th I made so far. And I confess that I really am nothing more than a 13 year […]
