Here’s the post that I promised wouldn’t write since it could be construed as a comment bait. However, since I spent 2 hours reading arguments and trying to define some fairly controversial terms, I’m not going to waste that! No siree! Now, just so we’re clear on this, I’m interested to read your thoughts and […]
One Page Contest Final Update: Less than one week left
We’re into week 3 of the One Page Dungeon contest and things are shaping up for some fierce competition! With about 45 entries so far, we’ve received a very wide variety of ‘dungeons’, from the old-school classic to the really really out there. But it’s not too late for those that thrive on tight […]
Adventure Prep: The City Adventure
For my next D&D session (which is on Friday next week), I’ve decided to go for a city-based adventure. We’ve played 3 sessions into our new Primal/Within campaign and all those were focused on the Dungeon part of the setting and very little on the city (except to interact with Quest giving NPCs). I think […]
Primal/Within Chronicles: The Font of Sorrows, Session 2 Part 2
See part 1, here.

Here’s a mix and match of some of the things lying here and there on my blogging desk. Worlds of Sounds Earlier this year, I got a complimentary set of 3 CDs from reader Giorgio Vezzini. Giorgio runs a studio in Italy called World of Twillights where he produced 4 CDs of sounds to use […]
Primal/Within: Some Factions, Sectors and (one) Citizen
You might notice that my empty speech bubble in my blog’s header is no longer empty. Thanks to Eric Maziade, I now have a little plug-in that lets me write quotes! This week is session #2 of my new campaign (if we don’t count the awesome prequel session in the Crypt of the Thief-Prince). My […]
FLGS Chronicles: My Store’s Fauna
What’s this? I’m not sure. I’m flirting with non- fiction. Don’t know what it will turn out into. I think that I’m slowly getting ready to write a novel. Sometimes, before my Friday night games, I saunter on to my Favorite Local Gaming Store in the north end of Montreal and I sit down with […]
Notebook Campaign: How I got my Son into Tabletop RPGs
This post is my personal musings about introducing my son to tabletop roleplaying as a progression from the Storytime games we’ve been playing since I came back from Gen Con last year.
