For those who missed it. Wizards if the Coast previewed the 4e Rogue’s abilities. Sticking to my low 4e hype mission, I invite you to drop by Dave and Bart’s Critical hits for the discussion. I’ll only add that what really sparks my interest is the Attacks vs Wis, Dex or Fort mechanics thatare a […]
Updating the social contract
Last night we spent the evening playing Magic the Gathering because 2 of our players were missing. Our current social contract stipulates that if one player is missing, we play but if two aren’t there, we postpone the game. We’ve had this “clause” for about 5 years and it’s worked pretty well. However, we’ve had […]
Martial Arts + Chinese Bear + Jack Black = COOL!
Yeah I’m in a YouTube mood… John, I want you to stat me up a Kung Fu Panda in Silvervine for Gen Con, not negociable!
The Guild, a WoW micro Sitcom.
It’s probably old hat for a lot of you but a few weeks ago, friends of mine stumbled onto that… Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 You can find the next 7 here. I took a day off today (yay!) but the D&D game was cancelled because of lack of two players…. I guess I’ll […]
Robin’s Laws Revisited: Part 3, Picking up your set of rules
This post is part of a series that explores Robin Laws’ seminal work on GMing, Robin’s Laws of Good Gamemastering and adds my thoughts on the same subject. This time, we tackle choosing a Rule set which is very actual since we’re at the butt end of D&D’s current edition. Part 1 can be found […]

DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 2
See part 1 here. Before getting into the actual dungeon crawl, as pointed out by Yan in the comments yesterday, I realized that PM was the only PC moving at a speed of 4 squares (20′). He was wearing Scale Mail, which has the same AC bonus as a Chain Shirt, only cheaper and bulkier. […]
DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 1
Way back in October, I played a one shot adventure using Paizo’s Pathfinder #1, Burnt Offering. I wrote the session’s log here. We reconvened last Sunday for another session in a day long geekfest of Dim Sum, Anime and D&D. So on Sunday Morning we arrived at PM’s palace of Cats (he has 2) in […]
The Echo Chamber: 10 worst reasons to blog, Part 2
I’m dead tired, so I’ll tackle this instead on writing a sub-par Session report of our Pathfinder for newbies game (which went well for all except PM, he sucks at dice, period!) See part 1 here. The List is taken from Geeks are Sexy and posted by Piggybankpie‘s Patrick. Let’s continue, shall we? 6. Busted […]
Happy B’ Day Mr. Washington
As I can see from the vertiginous drop in readership, this be a long weekend for my American readers. Wikipedia graciously informed me that this holiday is actually to commemorate George Washington’s B’day (do note that American History is not taught up here in Canuck land). Well, enjoy your day off one and all. I’m […]
