I only have one blog and I need to rant about something totally unrelated to RPGs… but somewhat geeky… so feel free to move on or add some oil on the fire. On April 1st, a new law (for real, not as an April Fool’s) passed in Quebec that strictly forbids the use of hand-held […]
Pathfinder Preview: Curse of the Crimsom Throne Player’s Guide
I got a nice, very red, surprise in the mail yesterday. It was Paizo’s Pathfinder #7, the 1st adventure of the series’ second Adventure Path, along with a copy of the player’s guide. Since I got the guide this time, I thought I’d preview it first and then tackle the adventure tomorrow. The Curse of […]
DM Chronicles, Session 14: You Wanted Planescape? You Got It!
This is part of a long running series that chronicles my current D&D campaign set in an adapted version of Ptolus. Oh yeah… I’m not actually quitting.. While it is a lot of work, I’m still having fun here. Last game I played a rather badly designed plot exposition scene that left our enjoyment of […]
It’s time to move on…
I think many of you saw the signs in the last few days… longer periods between posts, a few personal posts about blogging vs real life and general funkyness. Well after thinking about it long and hard, I’ve decided that it’s time I moved on to more productive things. So I’m going to start writing […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #006: Gummy Dragons
Here’s another comic with some new characters, once again done with the creative support of my good friend PM. It was about time that I put my gargantuan and Colossal dragons to use, it’s not like I ever needed them in my actual games. I owe the original idea of this comic to Scotticus, thanks […]
Found a name for my gaming group!
Yesterday, before we started our bi-monthly D&D game, I had to step outside to go and get the last player from the Subway station nearby. As I got out, I noticed that out of the seven people that play in our group, 4 own a Ford Focus Station Wagon (So Ronin, I may have to […]
Robin’s Laws Revisited: Part 4, Creating your Campaign
This post is part of a series that revisits Robin Laws’ classic work on Gamemastering, called simply enough Robin’s Laws of Good Game Mastering. I tackle each chapter in order. It’s not so much a review of the book but more my views on the subjects Robin touched then. If you want to get better […]
Adventure Prep: My Rewind button
This week, my actual prepping work is rather light. Since all 6 players are available (What are the odds?) we have to move the game out of my place. I can only accommodate 5 in my gaming den. That means I’ll have to pack my stuff to go to Math’s on Friday evening. It also […]
I’m okay but busy…
Title says it all. With a huge job milestone coming next week and the daily gym, my energy level is steady but on the low side. So when I’m done putting the kids to bed and doing a little prep for my Friday game, there’s no juice left for blogging. I did manage to perform […]
Linky love from a papercut DM!
Hey there, I’m taking it cool today, Gym was tiring, and while I am working on a Robin Laws post, I realized that I need to spend a little bit more time reading up on stuff to do a good post on it. Plus, I got a paper cut on my ring finger today and […]
