Closed for audit purposes…
I’m hosting a pair of scientists for a quality audit of my lab on Wednesday and Thursday (I’m a Quality Officer in a Genomics service lab). I’m more or less focused on this so I have little creative juices for this here blog. But never fear dear reader, let’s see what excellent stuff I browsed […]
New Milestone!!!
Image Source: Mille Bornes! (What? You never played that game???) This here blog thingnie hit the 100 unique visitor’s in a day mark for the 1st time yesterday at midnight.

Guess Post: A Fey's Journal, 2nd Entry. Part 2
This is the final part of Yan’s second Player log. See the 1st part here. At the shop everything went smoothly. Our shadier-looking members went in, pretending to be from another town and explaining they wanted to extend the market of this drug called Green Welcome. They gave the shop keeper a large bribe and […]
Big Fluff, Small Crunch
I’m still working on the Big Eyes, Small Mouth-Pokemon game for my 5 year-old son. I also read Dante’s and Martin’s excellent post on Improvising. I’m taking notes here!

Guess Post: A Fey's Journal, 2nd Entry. Part 1
This is Yan’s second Player log. He tells the story of our game from his PC’s perspective. That’s why I now leave out plot points and details form my DM logs. Yan is an up and coming storyteller and it’s fun to see him flex his creative muscles on a new venture. Thanks for fighting […]

Meet the players!: Franky
Three weeks ago, I sent a questionnaires to my 5 D&D players. I finally got all 5 responses (in exchange for 750 xp each) and I’m posting the 3rd one today, along with my usual editorial comments. See here and here for previous postings. What character do you play in our current D&D campaign? (Name, […]
DM Chronicles, Session 3: Of Pools and Crashes
Image Source: WotC D&D Miniature Game After having skipped a week from our usual bi-monthly game, I was really looking forward for this week’s. One of our players, Stef, had to stay home because his Wife was away and he was with the kids. So I offered to move the game over there. So I […]
Fluff done right: Paizo's Pathfinder first impressions
Like a lot of Dungeon magazine subscribers, it’s with shock and apprehension that I learned about WotC’s revocation of the Dungeon and Dragon magazine licenses. For those who don’t know yet, Paizo, the publisher of the two magazines, created a new D&D 3.5 compatible adventure magazine (they just don’t say it out loud) called Pathfinder […]
