Disclamer, this is not a RPG post, at least not directly. I’m going to update readers about the state of my project and my general health. I usually always write these posts when I’m in the throes of some sort of crisis or from the depths of depression. Well I’m happy to tell you that […]
Campaign Weariness: Ending a campaign before its time
As I hinted in my last game report, I feel the urge to move on from our Primal Dungeon/City Within campaign. At 15 sessions so far, this has been the longest Mini-campaign I’ve played since we started 4e. While I think the setting is ripe for more adventures, I feel like creating/exploring a new micro-setting […]
Turning D&D 4e’s Economy on its Head
I love 4e with a passion that my geek-fueled prose has expressed numerous times on various platforms. However, after having played for more than one year, I must say that I really dislike the treasure attribution mechanics and the economics underlying them. Spending time choosing magic items for my players and placing huge amounts of […]
Mouse Guard Diaries: The First Duel
Oh yes, another series 🙂 Last night my friend PM dropped by the house for an impromptu geekout. We had a great session of armchair producing of potential remakes of Star Wars over Pizza and beer. We than played a game of Carcassone (loved it) and Dominion with Nico (my son won at Dominion, again). […]
City of the Overmind: Nipples of Chaos, Part 2
See part 1 here. Cursed item to the rescue! The session’s first scene was eventually concluded with the adventure more or less back on track. We had a 20′ tall Flaming Angel instead of a draconic blob. I was cool with that. Heck, I would have been happy with the Marshmallow Colossus from Ghostbusters as […]
City of the Overmind: The Nipples of Chaos, Part 1
Chatty DM (wiping laughter tears ): Guys! Enough with the nipple jokes! I think I’m going to put that into the game report’s title. Mike: You’d never dare, this stuff is always left out your reports. Chatty DM: Just watch me… This last game session was a strange, strange beast. On the one hand, we […]
Chatty’s Halloween Post: The 2012 Zombie Apocalypse
This one is for The Maze, Scott, and HermitDave, and is a 100% RPG post inspired by my Influenza article. I give you the Zombie Apocalypse RPG Trope Post! Zombies are people, too… Okay, dead people, with poor verbal skills. And the only communication they understand is blowing off their heads. – USA Network commercial […]
My take on Influenza and the Vaccine
I’m taking a break from my self-imposed Blog Silence to broach a subject that is slowly making me crazy: The influenza epidemic and the absolutely stupid conspiracy theories behind it. I swear to god, if I hear another discussion about autism, microchips and/or programmed genocide, I’m going to blow a gasket. This post Is inspired […]
2 weeks Notice: Brainstorm Slowdown
I’ve thought long and hard how to best present this but the announcement that I was stepping down from managing the RPG Bloggers Network muddles the original intent. So I’ll do what I do best and I’ll tell you a story. When I came back from Gen Con last year, I had learned that I […]
Tales of Draconis, Part 4 and Epilogue
Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3. Mutant Future, GM by Walkerp Mutant Future is that weird, weird game that came out of labyrinth Lord publisher Goblinoid Game. Contrary to Labyrinth, Mutant Future (MF) is not so much a retro-clone of Gamma Worlds (or it’s predecessor Metamorphosis Alpha) but rather a new game built on […]
