See part 1 here. These last 2 sessions were marked with strong, not so positive emotions on my part. At the end of session one, I couldn’t believe that we played so little (we started at 7h00-7h30 and ended at around 9h45). At the end of session two, I was downright angry (and vocally so) […]

Inq. of the Week: Friendly Local Gaming Stores?
This week December is officially upon us, and with it comes the full force of the holiday season and all of the shopping that implies. I find it a shame that ordering RPG books online from places like Amazon is so much cheaper then it would be if I were to go to my local game store.
3 Rolls, 1 Check
This happens for many kind of skill rolls. An idea occurs to one player, who rolls a skill, which then prompts several other players to also roll. If a check is declared, then everybody rolls who can roll. You can’t blame the players: after all, rolling dice is fun.

Cross-Class Training II: The Teaching DM
Happy thanksgiving to all my American readers! Deep friend Turbaconducken anyone? I tend to have a one track mind, so while I’m done teaching my MS-Outlook/Time Management class, it’s still very much on my mind. Just so you know, things went so well that the College’s director offered me to teach another course right after […]
YouTube Tuesday: Let Me Throw! Edition
Not especially related to games, but I just can’t stop watching The Muppets do Bohemian Rhapsody, and thus needed to share.
Inq. of the Week: Video Game Playing, 2009
Can I just say, there are a crazy amount of video games that have been released lately that I want to play?
4th Power Project: Playtest Recap & Wealth
On Halloween, I ran the first ever playtest. I designed all the characters, constructed a scenario, recruited members of my regular D&D group, and GMed the game. I am definitely happy to report one thing: the game didn’t combust in on itself.
Cross-Class Training: GMs, Teachers & Managers
As many of you know, I’ve spent most of the last week preparing a 2 day MS-Outlook 2007/Time Management course that I’ll be teaching Tuesday and Wednesday of this week for a local College. While I was prepping for it, building an outline for each topics I decided to cover, I realized just how similar […]
