A few weeks ago, I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about tropish DMs. Tonight I felt like tackling the equivalent for players. Once again this is going to be a satirical post and not an actual critic on play style. As usual, if this offends you…. ah heck, it’s not like I’m shopping for new players… […]
Chatty's Review: Silvervine, Introduction
Shortly after I re-posted Greywulf’s ‘DM/GM requirements Specification’ for a RPG (called the Dungeonmaster’s Creed), I got an Email from John Arcadian who I knew as a longtime Treasure Tables Commenter. Well after having read the Creed, John told me that he and a few collaborators, were working on a new RPG system called Silvervine […]
No post tonight… Wifey's Birthday!
Yeah my beautiful Half-Celestial wife Alexandra turns ## today (Yeah like I’d say that on the Web and expect to live). The whole family is going to the restaurant tonight and I don’t think that going online to blog after the kids are in bed is going to make me a popular guy in the […]
Adventure Prep: Finishing a Campaign Arc
This Friday is the year’s last game session. It also coincides with the last session of the Seed of Sehan campaign arc I adapted from Dungeon Magazine to Ptolus. See here for the whole Campaign so far… As mentioned before, the game has been prepared for quite some time now and I’ve had time to […]
Holiday Blog schedule, some Stats and Season's Wishes!
Yup, Christmas vacations are coming. I’m lucky to get a full week off work and I will enjoy it. On the blog side, I’ve adopted a temporary daily Mini-post (500 words or less) strategy since last weekend and I plan to maintain it up until January 2nd or so. Of course, I’ll drop by with […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Ice Ice Baby!
This morning, I posted about my Winter adventures on the forums here. That’s my car if you were wondering… after I dug it out! Shortly after, Omnius, who’s allergic to snow I’m told, wrote a good weather-themed post. Well all that snow and ice also inspired me to go dig in the TV tropes site […]
RPG Lessons from my kids: Never curb your enthusiasm!
Have you ever noticed that bloggers have a tendency to take whatever thing that happened in their life lately and write all the post of the following days about that very thing… Well I’m no exception… 🙂 I got the idea for this post while my 5 year-old son was very enthusiastically beating my Mii […]
Wii Weeee!!… I finally got one…
Yeah, I got finally got one… Wifey went to a department store near here yesterday for a Wii and she was told to show up at opening on Saturday morning and hope that a few were delivered. So this morning, at 7h15, at -20 Celsius (that’s like -1000 F right? ) , I arrived in […]
Off Partying, Short break from Blogging
Tonight’s is my Christmas party. Being one of the only extroverted guys of our very geeky Genetics company, I’m also one of the party’s MCs. I’m leaving in 30 minutes to set up decorations and what not. So my online presence will be severely limited untill Saturday morning (I party tonight, and I recuperate tomorrow). […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Gravity? Pfaa!
It’s been quite some time I’ve posted an honest to goodness, fluff-rich Mining Tropes post. I’m also nearing the end of the tropes fueled by the Rule of Cool, so I combined two tropes that share a certain ‘airy’ theme as a tribute to a sub-series I really enjoyed writing! Asian Wire-fu and Anime is […]
