Somewhere between September and October of 2007, I wrote a series about comparing a RPG gaming group to a workplace project team. The analogy was rather solid and I got a lot of good feedback on it. Since then, I was pointed toward Kyle Aaron’s similar work over here. There, he pointed out a key […]
A RPG Truism
Over at Twenty-Sided, Shamus posted about The Sims and how some people enjoy this far longer than others. In one of his argument, he mentions his prolonged interests in Shooter type games. When challenged by a hypothetical person of a different demographics (man I love how he dodged so many mines in that post*) he […]
Steampunk Star Wars RPG… How cool would it be?
I love the concept of Steampunk Star Wars, I really do. It blends two styles that I really love: Space Opera and Jules Vernes’ Victorian setting. As I already talked about, blending two cool things together can result in an explosion of cool. I mean, just look at the Spork! (Credit: Graham) For instance, look […]
The Ultimate Retro-Stupid CRPG gets a facelift!
I got the info from RPG pundit’s blog (Read the man’s colorful prose at your own risk). The grand daddy of free geek CRPGs(Computer RPG), Nethack, has had a recent facelift. I’ve been playing NetHack on and off for more than 10 years, much to the amusement of my buddies who can’t fathom how I […]
La Ville est Hockey (The City is Hockey)
After 15 years without a Stanley Cup win, Montreal is going bonkers over its own team. I’m no big Hockey fan but I too am succumbing to the fever. I’m therefore throwing a challenge to the geek blogsphere. Any Boston Bruins fan Bloggers reading this? If you are, I bet that the Habs will win […]
DM Chronicles 15: Weathering the Apocalyspe with your Poker Buddies
In the game session 2 weeks ago, I concluded the party’s foray in the Demonwebs layer of the Abyss with the wretching of Ptolus (the campaign’s home base) out of the material world and plopping it up in another layer of the Abyss ruled by the Demon Prince Gratzz. Last Friday’s game wasn’t stellar nor […]
Sick! :(
With my game in Friday night (went well), my family sick with Gastro on Saturday and me coming with the same ailment today, my web presence has been severely limited. Some great comments were posted over the weekend, especially by Micheal Philips who’s finished a run through my 290-some posts (woot I can lay claim […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: The Quest Improbable
It’s been too long I know. After having done more that 20 Trope related posts, it becomes kind of daunting to try to produce one that won’t be a re-hash of a previous one (or, you know, bad!). As I was losing time on the TV Tropes wiki looking for some more character specific trope […]
CommentLuv Plugin Activated
I’ve seen it on a few blogs and I must say I liked it a lot. I just installed the CommentLuv plugin that basically checks the URL of a commenter and tries to recover a link to the latest blog post of that commenter to add it at the end of a comment. I think […]
Adventure Prep: Hide in Shadows
I sat down yesterday to prep and I’m a bit out of ideas for custom scenes and hacking ideas for the adventure we’re playing (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits). I therefore decided to play the next session almost directly from the adventure and I set out to read it once again to familiarize myself with […]
