In case you haven’t already, head over to Gnome Stew (which you should be reading anyway) and leave a comment on this post to be entered into a contest for one of the coolest prizes I’ve ever seen for RPGs: custom sound effects for your game! The sound effects are made by the professional sound […]
And the YouTube of the Year is…
…a tie! Yes, coming both in with 23 votes each (33% of the vote) are Dead Fantasy and “Rarr, I’m a monster.” A day in the life of portal turrets came in a respectable second place behind those two. Thanks to everyone who voted! The two winners are embedded after the jump:
YouTube of the Week: Mega Bees Edition
You might need this for reference, but other than that, should be self-explanatory. Thanks to joshx0rfz for sending it to me.
Adventure Design Workshop Seminar (GenCon 2008)
Still working through our backlog of GenCon 2008, we stopped in at the Adventure Design Seminar, which Mike Mearls moderated (say that three times fast), and also included Rich Baker, Bruce Cordell, Chris Youngs, and James Wyatt. The seminar was advertised as both talking about adventure design for D&D 4e and actually designing an adventure, […]
Critical Hits Podcast #11: True Dungeon Actual Play
During GenCon 2008, post-Ennies, I ran off to a far away hotel to play in my very first session of True Dungeon. No photography is allowed inside the game itself, but I smuggled in my trusty voice recorder inside my shirt pocket to record the whole thing as a bit of guerrilla reporting. It’s hard […]
Critical Hits Podcast #10: Entropia Universe
Before GenCon 2008, we were contacted to check out the Entropia Universe booth during the show. There, we met with John Bates of Mindark, who explained to us all about Entropia Universe, the online game/virtual world. Bartoneus and I went into the interview knowing almost nothing about it, but we both agreed afterward that it’s […]
Preview: “Dr. Who RPG” and “Starblazer Adventures” RPG from Cubicle 7 Entertianment
While wandering around the GenCon 2008 exhibit hall, one booth caught my eye: Cubicle 7 Entertainment, which had signs all over the booth advertising the upcoming Dr. Who RPG. I’m a huge fan of the new Dr. Who series, so I had to stop and ask about it. (I also remembered playing in a Dr. […]
Critical Hits Podcast #9: Actual Play with James Wyatt
During GenCon 2008, Bartoneus, ChattyDM, GamingSteve, and myself had the privilege to be in a D&D session run by James Wyatt, author of the DMG (who we interviewed later on in the con– this is the game we referenced at the beginning of the interview.) It was a straightforward dungeon delve, with Wyatt starting the […]
The Defense of Laser Clerics and Infinite Wizards
We take a short break from our GenCon writeups to bring you some commentary… ChattyDM likes laser clerics. Tommi does not. There’s one unaddressed tangent to the issue that I really like in relation to 4e. In previous editions, magic was a limited resource, and it was restricted. Wizards memorized spells that did specific things, […]
Inq. of the Week: YouTube of the Year?
Sorry for the delay, between site issues (which unfortunately might not be solved yet) and our massive GenCon coverage, i was delayed in announcing the nominees for YouTube of the Year! Doing a YouTube every week is what really knocked me into doing a schedule for Critical Hits and (I think) a key part of […]
