While looking at the TV Tropes Wiki for inspiration for my next trope post, a recurring idea kept coming back. You know that thing where a bunch of gamer geeks come out of the latest Superhero/Spy/ Action/Sci-Fi/Fantasy movie and they have this discussion: “Dude, this, like, totally rocked!” says the extroverted enthusiastic geek! “Yeah, ’twas […]
Mini-Links: Evil Editions and Vicious Superstar Scandinavian Clambake!
Ahhh, the Echo Chamber: taking other people’s stuff and talking about it on your site. I haven’t done one of those in some time, so here’s a short post on stuff I found cool lately. Evil in Mythic Scandinavia Yeah, Beowulf is out and I must say that Grendel’s mom is quite the MILTFAW (…to […]
StumbleUpon broke my blog…well almost.
As you may know, I usually get between 50 and 80 unique readers a day here. Once a week, usually either on Mondays or Thursdays, I go over the 100 readers mark and it’s all good. I also have been self-promoting my stuff on StumbleUpon, quite a bit. Well, enough to be gently chided about […]
Mini-Fluff: Chatty's Top Fluff sources!
What better way to complete this week’s unofficial ‘become a DM’ theme and sandwich PM’s most excellent post with yet another Top 5 list? In order to balance my crunchy Ying with some fluffy Yang here’s a few words on my top Fluff books and boxed sets. Now since I’m not much of a fluff […]
PWW: The Apprentice Half-Orc DM
Here’s the time for another Perspective on Weekend Wizards post by PM. This week our boy has started to contemplate something that may very well break his spirit and steal his soul. Enjoy! In my previous post, my inner closet half-orc was last seen running in the hills and howling at the moon after enjoying […]
Mini-Crunch: Chatty's Top D&D Crunch books!
Yeah I know that making lists can be considered bad form by some, but they do serve a purpose. They are perfect for a 500 word Mini-post!!! (Italics included) Oh and if I can get 2 comments on this we hit the 800 comments mark! With D&D 3.5 nearing the end of its useful shelf-life, […]
Adventure Prep: When Fun and Logic collide…
Woot! It’s game week again! Since this week’s game is the 3rd session in and around a Tomb dungeon, and since the adventure is pretty much prepped since last week, I was thinking of skipping this week’s prep article in order to focus on the campaign’s next chapter (Where Planescape meets Ptolus). But then I […]
The Case Report James will Never Write: Post me that Purple Heart, I'm gone!
While this may look like bad Fan-fiction, it’s actually our McWod Campaign log told from the perspective of my character James Kevin Smith, Level 1 Awakened. (Franky is GMing). Posted unencrypted on alt.conspiracy.inconnu by KingofheartS on November 25th. James is lost, I don’t know for how long. We’re really hurt… both physically and… well let’s […]
Brain was Hijacked by Heroes
I’m not writing much this weekend, I’m not apologizing, I’m just saying… 🙂 I’m home with the kids while wifey’s doing some consulting work in the Great North, she’ll be back on Monday. I don’t have a lot of creative juices once the wee ones are in bed… and I made the mistake of buying […]
The Overlord's bid for Superstar status!
Man, the suspense is killing me! When I first learned about Paizo’s American Idol-inspired RPG Superstar contest, I was intrigued but not that interested. While I have a certain knack for words and things D&D as well as non-professional experience in both department, being a RPG designer/writer was never seriously on my radar (As mentioned […]
