I’ve mentioned in older posts that D&D 4e seemed to go back to the roots of the game for simplicity of Game Prep and monster stats. So far this has been true. At worse, game stats for level 30 creatures take one full column of the Monster Manual. Such baddies are usually limited to 4-5 […]
With Fame Comes Opposition! Meet G.I. Mike!
My rise to power and global domination of the bloggsphere continues! My Chatty DM clone is slowly winning everyone over with his niceness, cross-pollination and other pseudo-socio-fluffy constructs. Witness the number of times the Head Gnome linked to me in today’s post and tell me I’m not right! Heck, we even managed to beat the […]
Story Contest results
I’m slowly catching up on things. A few weeks ago, I launched a contest to get people to submit Characterization tips to help me and my group get better tools to create better integrated adventuring parties. Well I had about 40 tips from 20 people. Quite a nice turnout given that characterization is not the […]
Chatty’s Debate: How far can a DM go?
Okay… I may be swamped but there are limits to what I can tolerate in other DMs. Heather’s been comparing her experience with her Game Day DMs and what she is reading in the DMG (she is a newbie RPGer and wants to try her hand at DMing. However as she reads, she is getting […]
I’m swamped! Obligatory Link cop-out!
I can’t seem to find time to read the Core books and I’d like to take a stab at reviewing them soon. I have to write my monthly column for Roleplayingtips.com. Plus I have to do the draw for the Story/characterization contest. I also have to do some maintenance on the blog, add a few […]
D&D 4e Questions
Heather from The Things They Still Carry has a few questions remaining from her first D&D 4e games. Here they are: I spent some time flipping through some of the Core set today as well as reading some of the DM Guide for the Keep adventure. My reading answered some questions and presented more. There […]
Playing 4e: Game Day recap and DMing 4e Musings
So I spent all day Saturday at my local Game Store, called Libraire Donjon, in Northern Montreal. I DMed the Worldwide D&D Game Day adventure. I thought I’d make a post where I freely mix and match play reports from both games I played, adding semi-random DMing thoughts in the mix… Read at your own […]
Playing 4e: Initial Thoughts
Are you hungry for a review? Check Martin Ralya’s over at Gnome Stew, mine will come later (in one form or another). I got to play a few hours of D&D 4e last night with the D&D Game Day adventure. We were 7 (1 DM, 6 players). Here are a few tidbits: The Good From […]
I have them! 4e books!
Expect a ton of mini posts in the next few days as I chronicle my 4e Experience. I have them, still shrink wrapped! Woot! I just got back home from ZeStuff (the main sponsor of this here blog) where I picked up 2 Core Sets, 5 Players Handbooks and 1 Dungeon Master Guide. Pierre-Luc was […]
X-mas in June: D&D 4e is out!
It’s 5h45 AM and I can’t wait for Pierre-Luc (of ZeStuff) to open the doors to his Warehouse Store at 10h00 am so I can pick up my D&D 4e hardcovers. I know most of you have seen it, but Scott Rouse of WotC has made you all a series of notes allowing you to […]
