While I was writing my 300th milestone post, I got a very interesting email from a reader. Here’s what he wrote: Good afternoon! I’ve been a long time reader of and commenter on your blog, and I was looking for some brainstorming help. Specifically, what kind of holds could a magnificent bastard have over a […]
Hit by a (consultative) Drive-by Shooting
This morning I woke up covered in (figurative) blood. I had just been the target of James and Harry (of Men with Pens‘s fame) Drive-by Shooting Sundays. The rather colorful and fluffed-up setup is actually a lookover consultation of the blog from the eyes of trained online buisness men. While I knew that the Blog […]
Chatty’s Random Thoughts: Potions
Chatty steps on the stage and walks up to the mike, looking nervous. He clears his throat, takes a deep breath and starts. How ya doin? Nice to see y’all here. All right, what’s the deal with potions? I mean it’s a spell that you drink. You chug that little bottle of power and it […]
300th Post!
Hell, I’ve been trying to say something about my 300th post and everything sounds either clinically boring or monstrously egocentric. This is my 3rd stab at it… Bottom line, I can’t believe I made it that far and I owe it all to you that take a few minutes to read my ramblings! It means […]
The Stages of a RPG Team’s Development, Part 6: Stagnation
Somewhere between September and October of 2007, I wrote a series about comparing a RPG gaming group to a workplace project team. The analogy was rather solid and I got a lot of good feedback on it. Since then, I was pointed toward Kyle Aaron’s similar work over here. There, he pointed out a key […]
A RPG Truism
Over at Twenty-Sided, Shamus posted about The Sims and how some people enjoy this far longer than others. In one of his argument, he mentions his prolonged interests in Shooter type games. When challenged by a hypothetical person of a different demographics (man I love how he dodged so many mines in that post*) he […]
Steampunk Star Wars RPG… How cool would it be?
I love the concept of Steampunk Star Wars, I really do. It blends two styles that I really love: Space Opera and Jules Vernes’ Victorian setting. As I already talked about, blending two cool things together can result in an explosion of cool. I mean, just look at the Spork! (Credit: Graham) For instance, look […]
The Ultimate Retro-Stupid CRPG gets a facelift!
I got the info from RPG pundit’s blog (Read the man’s colorful prose at your own risk). The grand daddy of free geek CRPGs(Computer RPG), Nethack, has had a recent facelift. I’ve been playing NetHack on and off for more than 10 years, much to the amusement of my buddies who can’t fathom how I […]
La Ville est Hockey (The City is Hockey)
After 15 years without a Stanley Cup win, Montreal is going bonkers over its own team. I’m no big Hockey fan but I too am succumbing to the fever. I’m therefore throwing a challenge to the geek blogsphere. Any Boston Bruins fan Bloggers reading this? If you are, I bet that the Habs will win […]
DM Chronicles 15: Weathering the Apocalyspe with your Poker Buddies
In the game session 2 weeks ago, I concluded the party’s foray in the Demonwebs layer of the Abyss with the wretching of Ptolus (the campaign’s home base) out of the material world and plopping it up in another layer of the Abyss ruled by the Demon Prince Gratzz. Last Friday’s game wasn’t stellar nor […]
