This series covers the thoughts that go behind my Adventure Preps. I don’t go into details as my players read this blog, but I try to showcase the key challenges and choices I face every time I sit down in the days before we play. Game week again! For those who don’t know, our group […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: This is the End, Friend
No no, I’m not ending this series, no worries. As mentioned here, I’m exploring “Endings” as applied to RPG campaigns… Many long-lasting Role playing campaigns based on power-gaining PCs hinge around a progressively increasing threat that almost invariably escalate to the World Destroying level. The threat usually takes the form of an impeding Cataclysm that […]
Theme Week: Endings
As I was planning my blogging week I realized that I had a running theme going on. So much so that I decided to make it official! Since I’m planning the end of my D&D 3.5 campaign in the next 3 months, I decided to spend the week dealing with endings of all kinds: Today’s […]
Pathfinder #6 preview and conclusion: The Lost City of Adventure’s End
I just got the notification that issue #7 was shipped this week. That made me realize that I had to write a short blurb on the final issue of Paizo’s Rise of Runelords Adventure Path. Issue #6: Spires of Xin-Shalast brings the stories of ancient, evil Sin-magic and the old empires based on them to […]
Chatty’s Out of the Box #004: Memories…

All stories you see in the comic truly happened and featured, my friends Nicolas (panel 1, gone to […]
GaryCon
Borrowed from The Evil DM’s blog (and adapted): World-Wide GaryCon this weekend! By now everyone I’m sure has heard of the passing of Gary Gygax. One of the best suggestions so far for a fitting tribute is GaryCon. Basically GaryCon is about gaming. This weekend take some time and play a game. Run a game […]

DM Chronicles, Session 12: The Great Game! Part 2
Life goes on… See part 1 here. So when I left off in part 1, Nogard had been accosted in his Dragon Temple by Plantagonox, the Juvenile Bronze Dragon errand boy of House Dallimothan (i.e. The Dragon-friendly Noble House of Ptolus). When ‘Gonox asked Nogard if he know about Xorvindaal, Nogard responded that he did […]
Thanks Gary… Peace be unto you.
I just read from Dave that E. Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons died. Enworld is down, probably from traffic overload. But the story is creeping up on the net and CNN confirmed it. I owe my favorite hobby and way of life to this man. I would have wished to thank him in […]
