I have mails to read and posts I planned to do but this… this I have to share with you. 8h15 PM. Nico, my 6 year old son, is playing in his room waiting for me to come and read him a story. As I come into his room, he tells me he’d rather play […]
Epic Laundry Basket: Laser Clerics!
I like Laser Clerics. Like Jeff Rients, I think there should be more lasers in D&D. You disagree? That’s fine with me. Here’s the thing: rules are lies, especially the Fluff! You want a darker, grittier Cleric? Why don’t we just apply Chatty’s patented template of Doom to this ability then? The Evil Eye With […]
YA5WKEPACLB*: What Gen Con 2008 meant for me
Yax, this one is for you! Feeling: I entered Gen Con 2008 feeling like a Nobody, I left it feeling like a Rockstar Lesson learned: Edition Wars hate mongers are idiots. Rules are lies, Game systems are guidelines at best. Bask in the awesomeness of your bile and leave us alone while we have fun. […]
Back from Gencon, Coming attractions
(Photo credit: Bartoneus/Dave: The Game) I’m back home! Still under the grip of it all. My rational brain has gone into Coma when my “friends” (Said with a totally snooty French accent) broke me sometime during the 1st Drunken D&D game. My Emotional Center has been running the show since then. Since I assume that […]
Gen Con 2008 Rambling (Semi-Live blog)
Two Sentences Summary: Gen Con is the most fun I ever had with tabletop gaming, ever. It’s about making friends, laughing like hell, and having no shame about being silly. I thought it would be a one shot ‘meh’ thing, turns out I’m now addicted to the Con! I’ll put my ramblings here as I […]
Random Thoughts: Gen Con, Job Posting for ZeStuff, Mearls joins network!
I’m off to Gen Con. I just finished packing my suitcases and I’m done doing all the prep work for my games, seminars and other fun stuff. I don’t plan to live blog because I’m already so overbooked that I fear I won’t enjoy Gen Con as much as I should. Between DMing 13 hours […]
RPGBloggers.com: Moving Forward
Day 3 of the RPGbloggers network and already things have been, shall we say, dynamic. Since I self-appointed myself the community voice of this little project, I thought I’d give you an update. This nerd project, an initial idea by the Critical-Hits guys and backed by a handful of eager bloggers, was met with such […]
Mini Crunch: Fun with D&D 4e Action Points
I get ideas sometimes. Ideas that, if I don’t use them, will leave me for another, younger, more prolific writer. Being a slave to nubile, half-dressed ideas, I take them and put them on electronic paper. One such idea struck me while reading UncleBear’s latest post about using Hero Points in Hollow Earth Expedition (through […]
RPG Bloggers Unite!
Last year, Dave the Game and Bartoneus of Critical-Hits approached me with an idea to create a sort of hub where the RSS feeds of various RPG bloggers could be found on one site. The idea was not to create competition but rather create a combined stop for RPG blog readers where they could glance […]
Chatty’s Vacations
Depending on how long you have been a reader here, you know that the biggest inside joke here is that whenever I say I’ll stop posting for some time (for whatever reason), it’s usually the best sign that I’m on the verge of starting a posting storm. No wonder I wrote 400 posts in one year. […]
