The Dungeon Reality Show, Part 1: The Implied Setting
Over the weekend, my good friend Eric Maziade posted his Actual Play report of a game where I was a guest DM. He had invited me over last week to participate in his geek Birthday Party. We had decided that we would surprise his players with my D&D 4e/Bloodbowl mash up that I had created […]
The Compiled List of One Page Dungeon Entries
I know that many of you have clamored to see all the entries for the awesomely popular One-Page Dungeon Contest that concluded last week. However, before we can even think of publishing them (and more importantly how and how many), we need to go through each and every entry and judge them. However, I thought […]
Friday Chat: Dealing with Instigators
About a year ago, I wrote about player types and motivations. It’s a subject that’s very near my DMing heart because I believe that the recipe of a good campaign lies in understanding your players and catering to their specific needs as much as you cater to yours in your game. Lately, I’ve been musing […]

Primal/Within Chronicles: Election Day, Part One
Previously in Phil’s game: Our Heroes fought some undead captives charged with protecting the Font of Sorrows. Later, Spurt the Silvered Bulette found them and they managed to subdued it. Exploring the water temple chaos further, they discovered a passage to the High Priest’s crypt where they fought a giant undead tree and a pair […]
ChattyDM.net domain hacked
A few days ago, my domain (chattydm,net) was hacked. This attack injected hidden ads in the header of most of the websites I run/share on this domain, including Critical-hits and the RPG Bloggers Network’s forum. This was most likely done by a hostile script that Corrupted all our php scripts by inserting encrypted data in […]
