Happy GM day to all. I know that today marks both the annual day dedicated to Gamemasters all around the planet and it also happens to be the 1st anniversary of Gary Gygax departure. I owe him a lot and he is in my thoughts. I’m not online much this week because I decided to […]
Chatty’s Preview: Master Dungeons H2, Curse of the Kingspire
Please note that this post reveals some spoilers about the adventure presented here. A few days ago I was contacted by my good friend Ed who wanted to start another round of blog and podcasts posts about a common subject. This time around, the subject was to be Goodman Games’ Master Dungeon series of D&D […]
Bedtime Campaign: Indiana Nico and The Golden King (and his take on RPGs)
Earlier today we were driving to the restaurant for a family dinner. I’m telling my 7 year old son Nico about how long it’s been since we did an interactive story. Nico “I’d like to have another of those stories” Chatty “You know Nico, you’re old enough to play the real game of Dungeons and […]
My turn now: Chatty’s top 10 D&D monsters
It started with Noism and then James did it too and it soon became a meme. Since I purposely ignored anything about A&D 2e’s 20th anniversary, I thought I’d jump on the next echo chamber bandwagon passing through. So here’s my personal top 10 D&D monster (from all editions) in no particular order. You’ll see […]
Sunday Play Test Unreport!
Once a month (when we can find the time) we try to organize a geekout. It’s a full day event where a slightly different group from my bi-monthly D&D one gathers together to eat junk food, watch some anime and/or movies and play games. This month, my friend and dubiously trustworthy lieutenant PM proposed to […]
Chatty DM Presents: Grognardia
Those who have been reading my stuff for some time know that I’m mostly a Mono-Gamist GM. I’ve embraced the latest edition of D&D because we wanted to try it, because I idolize one of it’s creators and because it’s one of the easiest RPGs to prep for. And it’s, like, you know, fun… However, […]
DM Chronicles: Session 10,Fight Night! Part 2
See part 1 here. Oh wow, I leave my last post with a cliffhanger and a “What would the reader do?” and I get a ton of answers far better than I did. Still I’ll chalk this one in my lessons learned below. Here’s a reminder of the setup: All players are inside a room […]
DM Chronicles: Session 10 Fight Night! Part 1
Previously in Chatty’s game: Our heroes discover that they have been setup to be ambushed by the duergar. Planning to catch the Grey dwarves at their own game, they partially succeeded in turning the tables but had to face a brood of Kruthiks (Think hive mind insects with knife-shape claws). Our stalwart champions reached the […]
So You Wanna Write a RPG Blog? Post-Scriptum: The Crash
Wanting to get back on the blogging wagon, I decided to write a small addendum to this series. It won’t break new ground but it may help some see a bit of the darker side of blogging. A few months ago in the early throes of one of the most powerful creative surges I had […]
Chatty DM Presents: Stargazer’s World
Last week’s post where I presented Zach’s RPG Blog II was a frank success, particularly among the blogging crowd. I guess that means I can continue! This week I want to present you a blog straight out of gaming-friendly Germany. I give you Stargazer’s World. In the world of its author (who goes by the […]
