Super casual weekend post here, I’ve got my 90 minute Lasagna to prepare (Anyone want’s my recipe?) because tonight I have a special visitor! Extradited Montrealer and DMing blogger extraordinaire Yax is in town on vacation and I’ve invited him over for dinner. Now either expect us to seal our power sharing deal for world […]
Chatty on 4e: I heart Grapple!
(Click on the images to be able to read the word bubbles) Last week I dropped by my Favorite Local Game Store (FLGS) to buy myself a few boxes of the 1st official 4e product available: the Dungeons of Dread D&D miniature game. I purchased the Starter and 2 booster boxes. Before I dig in […]
When You Have GMs as Players
In the last few weeks, I’ve been discussing with Johnn Four of Roleplayingtips.com (you should subscribe!) about setting up some sort of monthly guest feature on his very popular GMing newsletter for me to share GMing tips (Notice the use of the more generic GM). Earlier today, my first column was posted here. I’m reprinting […]
Adventure Prep: To Analyze and to Fluff
As I write this I realize that it’s a very clinical assessment and analysis of my current campaign. I’ll post it to show you how I go at it, but it might be a bit heavier than my usual fare. As mentioned in my last few Adventure Prep or Campaign log posts, I’ve stopped systematically […]
When Funny Becomes Story
As I look at my schedule (I have visit coming over, a game to prepare and the job has started being a bit heavier again), I’m not sure how much I can post this week. So I thought I’d share with you a short but funny memory brought up by a Gtalk chat I had […]
My Tax return and Hockey ate my post!
I wanted to write a post, I really did. However, with a decisive Hockey game tonight and me having to run to my accountant’s place to drop my tax papers (we’re late!!!), there’s no way I can make it. I may write one tomorrow morning. Wish my home team luck… Go Jets Habs Go! Edit: […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: The Magnificent Villain
While I was writing my 300th milestone post, I got a very interesting email from a reader. Here’s what he wrote: Good afternoon! I’ve been a long time reader of and commenter on your blog, and I was looking for some brainstorming help. Specifically, what kind of holds could a magnificent bastard have over a […]
Hit by a (consultative) Drive-by Shooting
This morning I woke up covered in (figurative) blood. I had just been the target of James and Harry (of Men with Pens‘s fame) Drive-by Shooting Sundays. The rather colorful and fluffed-up setup is actually a lookover consultation of the blog from the eyes of trained online buisness men. While I knew that the Blog […]
Chatty’s Random Thoughts: Potions
Chatty steps on the stage and walks up to the mike, looking nervous. He clears his throat, takes a deep breath and starts. How ya doin? Nice to see y’all here. All right, what’s the deal with potions? I mean it’s a spell that you drink. You chug that little bottle of power and it […]
300th Post!
Hell, I’ve been trying to say something about my 300th post and everything sounds either clinically boring or monstrously egocentric. This is my 3rd stab at it… Bottom line, I can’t believe I made it that far and I owe it all to you that take a few minutes to read my ramblings! It means […]
