This blog is not about breaking news, others are better suited to do it. Regardless, I got an email a few minutes ago by a fellow reader (confirmed by Propoagandroid) that informed me that Gleemax, Wizards of the Coast’s Social Gamer network, will close down for good in September. While Propagandroid makes a good case […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 4: Who?
Last week I initiated a series on starting and running a RPG blog based on my own experiences. It was supposed to be only one post, but I should know better by now, right? I started with the ‘Why‘, then I tackled the ‘How‘ and the ‘What‘ of RPG blogging. Today I’m going to talk […]
Clean up in Aisle 4!
Hey all, Without getting into details (in order not to break my Golden rule of Blogging), the ‘big thing’ I was waiting for didn’t pan out. I’m done with disappointment and I’m moving on to re-organizing my projects. One of the things I’ll be doing over the next few days is to re-tag my whole […]

Chatty’s Questions: Heroes’ Feast
One of the philosophy of tabletop gaming I adhere to is Cheetoism, which basically boils down to: We game for the snacks. And also the dice. But mostly, just to hang out with friends and tell tall stories I used to be more hardcore about ‘THE GAME’ until I realized that my gaming friends weren’t […]
Oh Noes! Joss Whedon is onto my plans…
I know, I know I’m late to the party and almost missed it. I love Joss Whedon, I like Nathan Fillion and I have a schoolboy crush on Felicia Day (She’s Codex from The Guild). Add that Dougie Howser guy (Neil Patrick Harris) and you got the weirdest, geekiest thing ever created (yeah I’m in […]
