Another Guest Blog Post by Berin Kinsman of UncleBear. You kids today think you have it so rough. The D&D Online Tools aren’t ready yet! I can’t play a Bard or a Druid in 4e! I don’t have a flying car to take me to my game session! Spoiled, whining brats, I tell ya! When […]
So You Wanna Write a RPG Blog? What NOT To Do
Hi folks! My name is Berin Kinsman, and I’ll be guest blogging here while our beloved Chatty DM is off vacationing in the wilderness. I’ve been a roleplayer since 1978, which officially makes me an old grognard. I’ve been writing about gaming on my own site, UncleBear, since 1996, long before the word “blog” was […]
RPGBloggers.com: Moving Forward
Day 3 of the RPGbloggers network and already things have been, shall we say, dynamic. Since I self-appointed myself the community voice of this little project, I thought I’d give you an update. This nerd project, an initial idea by the Critical-Hits guys and backed by a handful of eager bloggers, was met with such […]
Mini Crunch: Fun with D&D 4e Action Points
I get ideas sometimes. Ideas that, if I don’t use them, will leave me for another, younger, more prolific writer. Being a slave to nubile, half-dressed ideas, I take them and put them on electronic paper. One such idea struck me while reading UncleBear’s latest post about using Hero Points in Hollow Earth Expedition (through […]
RPG Bloggers Unite!
Last year, Dave the Game and Bartoneus of Critical-Hits approached me with an idea to create a sort of hub where the RSS feeds of various RPG bloggers could be found on one site. The idea was not to create competition but rather create a combined stop for RPG blog readers where they could glance […]
Chatty’s Vacations
Depending on how long you have been a reader here, you know that the biggest inside joke here is that whenever I say I’ll stop posting for some time (for whatever reason), it’s usually the best sign that I’m on the verge of starting a posting storm. No wonder I wrote 400 posts in one year. […]
Vote for the Ennies
(Image Source: The Ennies Website) The Ennies is the Roleplaying equivalent of the Oscars. All fans can vote for their favorites. I just voted and I encourage you to do so. You have until August 6th. You can vote here. Yes I submitted this site and I didn’t get nominated, my friend Yax did… (for […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 5: Then What?
In the last 2 weeks, I wrote a primer about starting a new RPG blog. While I knew it wasn’t going to be all that original, I thought that would-be RPG bloggers could benefit from it. It turns out they did as I’m already seeing a few new RPG blogs cropping up (Here’s one and […]
We be Chatty Geeks
So 24 hours (and about 80 comments) after publication, a lot has been discussed about yesterday’s post. I don’t want to spend more time on this. I feel it’s time I put my money where my mouth is and leave discussion about the D&D edition transition behind me and start focusing on the near future […]
(Not)Understanding The D&D Geek
I think everyone can agree that Wizards of the Coast has issues with 4e and it’s digital initiative. Yesterday’s announcement of the demise of the Gleemax Gamer Social Network experiment and the continued fan backlash over everything 4e is eating up at Wizards’ reputation as the trustworthy keeper of two of the world’s most popular […]
