This month, I am the custodian of the RPGbloggers Monthly Carnival which is about Super Heroes. I thought it would be a perfect occasion to do a new Trope post about mixing some Super Heroes in my D&D Kool Aid! Trope: A narrative shortcut taken in a story that the audience will recognize and have […]
Give Feedback to your GM… and live! Part 1.
(This post was written in a Coffeehouse in Switzerland, how cool is that?) On the last day of Gen Con, I was sitting in a Restaurant (The Ram if I recall, I had the Salmon, delicious), surrounded by my friends from Critical-Hits and Stupid Ranger. We were all dead tired, living off our energy reserves […]
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.Is.Epic! Part 2
See Part 1 here. Rumble in the Temple! Now that Dragora had finished saying what she had to say, the PCs attacked. Or maybe she did, I forget, these accounts are not renowned for their journalistic accuracy. Dragora was a level 7 soldier based on the Fighter Template. I added 3 Zain-Kin minions and one […]
DM Chronicle: Session 4, This.is.Epic! Part 1
(You know what I miss in this blog? Me being chatty like hell… time to change that!) Previously in Chatty’s Game: Our heroes discovered an ancient Serpent Temple where lost magic was recovered from the coils of spectral ophidian guardians. Following sinuous caverns, they came upon an opening high over the ruins of a Lost City inhabited […]
The New Gamemaster: Friends and Ressources
One of the things I love doing online is bringing people together. I love to see new communities prosper and people meeting new people. That’s why I was so excited to co-Create the RPG bloggers project. I also love to gently push people to become more, to try scary, unsure things. I say that success […]
Jouer aux JdR en Français
I apologize to my English readers (i.e 85+% of you), this is a one-shot French post to discuss how I play RPGs in that language and to check how many of my readers read French. Time to brush up on your high school/college French or to fire up an online translator. J’écris très peu en […]
Chatty’s Question: Gaming S.O.?
This post was inspired by this one. Okay, I spent all evening prepping for tomorrow’s game, which is on with 4 players. So I thought now was as good a time to ask you one of my patented question to blatantly bait for comments and entertain me. Do you have a Significant Other? If so, […]
Adventure Prep: Pirate Dragons, Ninja Apes and Hot Fighter-Librarian Chick
This is part of a very long running series where I share how I go at prepping my D&D games a few days before our bi-monthly game night. I might not have a game Friday, my roll call so far confirms 2 missing players (Cleric and Wizard) and unless all remaining four confirm, the game […]
The State of Chatty: Fall Edition
I’ll try real hard not to make this post into yet another tortured artist Emo crap. I seem to do one every three months or so… please bear with me, it’s quite therapeutic. As I mentioned earlier this year, I’m one of those blessed creatively hyperactive personalities. The downside of which is that I often […]
Epic Laundry Basket: D&D is to Fantasy what Pornography is to Sex
God what a title! Pity I didn’t write the article . A few minutes ago, Wally, a non-RPG blogging fan sent me an article he wrote. The insights he brings are troubling and somewhat accurate. Be warned about the explicit use of sexual language. Although, I must confess, I just can’t bear to imagine my […]
