MM2 Worldwide D&D Game Day: Behind the Screen
Over a month ago, I discovered that Monster Manual 2 Game Day would fall smack dab in the middle of Balticon, so I decided I’d try to combine peanut butter and chocolate and sign up to run the game day at my Friendly Local Science Fiction Con. I hadn’t been happy with the previous game day at the game store closest to where I live, and didn’t particularly want to leave the con to head to a game store that day, so I navigated through the RPGA signup system to run it myself (and hey, get a pile of minis to boot).
The Dungeon Reality Show, Part 1: The Implied Setting
Over the weekend, my good friend Eric Maziade posted his Actual Play report of a game where I was a guest DM. He had invited me over last week to participate in his geek Birthday Party. We had decided that we would surprise his players with my D&D 4e/Bloodbowl mash up that I had created […]
The Compiled List of One Page Dungeon Entries
I know that many of you have clamored to see all the entries for the awesomely popular One-Page Dungeon Contest that concluded last week. However, before we can even think of publishing them (and more importantly how and how many), we need to go through each and every entry and judge them. However, I thought […]

Marvel’s X-Men Movie Mistakes
Stemming from some of the comments on Darth Cthulhu’s ‘controversial’ Star Trek post, I started thinking about the first X-Men movie and its relation to the rest of the franchise now that X-Men Origins: Wolverine is out. One commentor related the first X-Men movie, Ironman, and the first Spiderman to Star Trek as examples that […]
Friday Chat: Dealing with Instigators
About a year ago, I wrote about player types and motivations. It’s a subject that’s very near my DMing heart because I believe that the recipe of a good campaign lies in understanding your players and catering to their specific needs as much as you cater to yours in your game. Lately, I’ve been musing […]
Lessons from the Heroic Tier
This March, I placed my game on hiatus so that I could graduate. At that time, some of the players were at 9th level and not too far from 10, so I decided to cheat a little and advance all the players to Paragon to begin the next chapter on the next tier. However, during the 9 levels of solid play we got in, I learned a few things about D&D 4e, at least as far as I could learn from the heroic tier. Here’s what I’ve learned about running 4e for close to 10 levels, in no particular order.
Contest is now Closed (for real)
The One-Page dungeon contest is now closed. We have passed the 100 entries point making this an awesomely successful endeavor. What started as a crazy idea to get the word our on the template has lead to a deluge of entries. Of course, we’ll need some time to look them over and judge them. There’s […]
