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 […]
Chatty’s Bedtime Campaign: Nico’s Quest
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 […]
