As for the rest of PAX I plan to play some D&D Dark Sun and Encounters. I hope to play some Magic drafts with friends (it’s been 2 years!). I also hope to meet Wil Wheaton face to face and exchange a few funny remarks while he signs the books I’ll stack in front of him. Maybe, just maybe, I’ll get to say hi to Jerry and Mike (Tycho and Gabe). Finally, I plan to crash Chris Tulach’s and Greg Bilsland “Save my Game” seminars so I can ask some really funky “what if” questions that will drive everybody nuts :).
Blog Merge: Gut Reaction and Expectations
(Boy am I glad not to post this on April 1st) During my scientific training I was thought never to keep a punch till the end if I wasn’t writing a story. So here it is, I’m seriously considering merging Musings of the Chatty DM into the structure of my friend Dave’s Critical Hits* while […]
Chatty’s Goals for 2010
Happy new year people! New year, new ‘decade’ (hush, pedants) and possibly new pants! As is becoming a tradition on Musings, this is when I look over last year’s goals and set new ones. I say goals and not resolutions because resolutions are all about ‘have to, and should, and ought to” and I have […]
Chatty’s Year 2009 and the Importance of the Tribe
Yes, Yet another Year End Post. I’m sure the RPGbloggers network‘s first page must crumble under that Echo Chamber effect. But I don’t quite care about that. 🙂 The Year in Review Oh man what a year. Last year you could taste the the first signs of the rapid unraveling of my mind in my […]
Merry Chirstmas and Happy Holidays
It’s X-mas morning and my family is doing geeky things. My daughter asked to play on the CBC kids website right after watching the Disney Parade. My son and wife are playing Wii Sports Resort and I’m just checking a few things online before joining back the fun. I just thought I’d take a few […]
My take on Influenza and the Vaccine
I’m taking a break from my self-imposed Blog Silence to broach a subject that is slowly making me crazy: The influenza epidemic and the absolutely stupid conspiracy theories behind it. I swear to god, if I hear another discussion about autism, microchips and/or programmed genocide, I’m going to blow a gasket. This post Is inspired […]
Champions Online: Being 13 Forever
Oh yeah, like some others, I succumbed to to the Champions Online bug. I’ll post a short review later this week but in the meantime I had to share a few screenshots of my latest PC, the 4th I made so far. And I confess that I really am nothing more than a 13 year […]
Happy Birthday Skill Challenge
Last week, my good friend Dave of Critical Hits and RPGblogger’s Network fame asked me to write a little note for his girlfriend’s (‘e’ of Geeks’ Dream Girl) birthday. Being overly Chatty and prone to a certain dose of creative crazyness, I decided to all out geek and delivered the following Birthday Challenge! Wish Her […]
Friday Chat: Nerd Projectitis
(I’m posting this early to get our Euro/Asia/Down Under friends to comment) Way back when, I posted about the Nerd Handbook, a must-read article for all geeks and their significant others. The post starts with the following sentence: A nerd needs a project because a nerd builds stuff. All the time So true! However, I’m […]
Chatty on the Net
It seems I see people talking about my alter ego a lot lately. Not that I mind at all, I mean who doesn’t like to see his name or alias turn up stuff on Google? Well this week, I’ve made an appearance on two websites. First, last Tuesday night I was invited to participate in […]
