With my game in Friday night (went well), my family sick with Gastro on Saturday and me coming with the same ailment today, my web presence has been severely limited. Some great comments were posted over the weekend, especially by Micheal Philips who’s finished a run through my 290-some posts (woot I can lay claim […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: The Quest Improbable
It’s been too long I know. After having done more that 20 Trope related posts, it becomes kind of daunting to try to produce one that won’t be a re-hash of a previous one (or, you know, bad!). As I was losing time on the TV Tropes wiki looking for some more character specific trope […]
CommentLuv Plugin Activated
I’ve seen it on a few blogs and I must say I liked it a lot. I just installed the CommentLuv plugin that basically checks the URL of a commenter and tries to recover a link to the latest blog post of that commenter to add it at the end of a comment. I think […]
Adventure Prep: Hide in Shadows
I sat down yesterday to prep and I’m a bit out of ideas for custom scenes and hacking ideas for the adventure we’re playing (Expedition to the Demonweb Pits). I therefore decided to play the next session almost directly from the adventure and I set out to read it once again to familiarize myself with […]
Chatty’s Mailbox: Of Terrain, Random Generation and Villains
A few weeks ago, I got a nice email from a reader, full of praise and constructive feedback (I love those!) and in the mail there were a few questions. I thought I’d respond to it in post form and maybe encourage people to send more questions at chattydm@chattydm.net. If it catches on, it may […]
House Cleaning
I’m enjoying my time off by mostly lounging around and taking it easy. I am also tinkering with the blog a bit to make it more useful for readers. That’s why I moved the Recent Comments to the top of the primary sidebar. I’m also finding that my blogroll is stretching beyond what I’d like […]
(Really)Mini-Post: A GM’s Authority
I took two days off from work today and tomorrow and that somewhat includes blogging (unless I get an inspiration like I just did now). I’m currently writing a guest post for another RPG site and while I was editing my work, I added this small sentence: It’s one thing to have a rule book […]
Chatty on 4e: Retro-Stupid vs… well Retro-Stupid
This is the second in an series of articles where I tackle 2 short subjects on 4e from a DM’s perspective and ask for your thoughts. The 1st one can be found here. While I was reading stuff on D&D 4e on the various blogs, news sites and the Worlds and Monsters book (which I […]
How’s my health? Much Better
Much like a nasty kidney stone, my work-related milestone passed (with resounding success). As you may have noticed, my posting schedule has recovered and actual RPG related postings have started creeping back in the content. (Sprinkled with non gaming stuff… chances are this will stay like that). I’m much better. After 3 full weeks of […]
Pathfinder #7 Preview: Curse of the Crimson Throne #1
I’m having issues with uploading images to the blog’s server. That’s why this one actually points to Paizo’s site… I’m going to take a different approach with this series of review. While I’ll still list what’s in the adventure, I’ll add more of a review element to it. Paizo started publishing their own 3.5 OGL […]
