My son Nico will be undergoing ear surgery tomorrow. As things stand, I’ll likely be at the hospital for most, if not all of tomorrow (and the following night). I have a Players Handbook 2 preview planned for tomorrow but there’s good chances I won’t be there to respond to comments until late Friday night […]
Chatty’s Megadungeon: Foundations
Aptly enough, Monte launched his new Megadungeon project, have a look here. Like lightning, inspiration struck me over the weekend. Last Friday’s musings on Megadungeons has left my brain splattered all over the place with a ton of ideas for adapting the old concept to my current way of playing the game. I’ve got so […]
DM Chronicles: Session 11, Foray into the Well of Demons, part 2
See part 1 here. With all that shared narrative and roleplaying out of the way (just kidding…mostly), the players were ready to start exploring the Well of Demons. I must say that I really like this part of the adventure. It was the first one that reads like a true dungeon crawl. It’s made up […]
DM Chronicles: Session 11, Foray into the Well of Demons, part 1
Previously in Chatty’s game: Our heroes, with a treacherous doppelganger in their ranks, faced the Duergar leader in his abode.

I’ve been trying to write that post all day long and I keep getting distracted… I can feel it coming.. one of my dreaded/beloved consciousness-devouring, depression-killing creative surges… I have dungeons on my mind.

As I was leaving with my family today for some early season Sugar Shacking (it’s not as dirty as it sounds, unless you eat without […]
A Special day and Family Time
Happy GM day to all. I know that today marks both the annual day dedicated to Gamemasters all around the planet and it also happens to be the 1st anniversary of Gary Gygax departure. I owe him a lot and he is in my thoughts. I’m not online much this week because I decided to […]
Chatty’s Preview: Master Dungeons H2, Curse of the Kingspire
Please note that this post reveals some spoilers about the adventure presented here. A few days ago I was contacted by my good friend Ed who wanted to start another round of blog and podcasts posts about a common subject. This time around, the subject was to be Goodman Games’ Master Dungeon series of D&D […]
Bedtime Campaign: Indiana Nico and The Golden King (and his take on RPGs)
Earlier today we were driving to the restaurant for a family dinner. I’m telling my 7 year old son Nico about how long it’s been since we did an interactive story. Nico “I’d like to have another of those stories” Chatty “You know Nico, you’re old enough to play the real game of Dungeons and […]
My turn now: Chatty’s top 10 D&D monsters

Since I purposely ignored anything about A&D 2e’s 20th anniversary, I thought I’d jump on the next echo chamber bandwagon passing through. So here’s my personal top 10 D&D monster (from all editions) in no particular order. You’ll see […]
