Chatty’s Mailbag: Reader Complaint
Long time reader and one time co-contributor PM wrote me: I’m not sure I’m satisfied with your new musing schedule. A single post a day (some non-epic…) does not entertain me enough… Where are the days of multiple cascading avalanches of text!? I want my money back!! Here’s the response of our resident Customer Service […]
Chatty DM Gets Commonly Creative
As a prelude to opening Chatty Studios (don’t click yet, it will only return you here) and launching Project Kobold Love, I obtained a Creative Commons License for the whole content of my blog (See in blog’s footer).

Nico’s Pick up D&D 4e Game
My 6 year old son Nico and 5 year old daughter Rorie are at their Granny’s for the next 3 days as both Alex and I work and school only starts on Thursday. That means that I won’t have new chapters of Nico’s Quest to share with you. I did however start a D&D 4e […]
The Unauthorized Ascension of the Drow Spy Report
This is my play report of Nicolas Logue’s Ascension of the Drow prequel Mega-Adventure. It was a free-for all, storytelling-intensive D&D 3.5 game featuring 126 players (21 tables of 6) and more than 33 GMs. Everyone was sharing the same game at the same time! It was held at Gen Con and ran from 7h00 […]
Epic Laundry Basket: 4e Vancian Wizards!
Want Vancian Magic in 4e? Here’s how I would do it: Leave at Will-Power as is (for fun purposes). Make level 1 and 2 daily spells into level 3 encounter spells. Shift the whole power list like that to have new spells at every 2 levels. Give level 1 Wizard access to 5 level 1 […]
Chatty’s Bedtime Campaign: Bend it like Nico!
Oh yeah, he was expecting it tonight. As soon as teeth were brushed and pyjamas were worn (i.e. an old T-shirt of mine… Enjoy every second of the time when your kids hero worship you, it won’t last), my little 6 year old Laser Knight was ready to continue his adventures. Chatty: Okay so you […]

Gen Con 2008, Lessons Learned
I started Gen Con 2008 with some doubts about my ability to go up to designers and say hi. I’m an extroverted, exceedingly chatty person.. but when I’m not introduced to someone, I clamp up real good. Except, something happened to me somewhere during the second day. Probably during the 126 players chaosfest that was […]
