Totally unrelated to RPGs, this is a pure Meta-blogging post. Still it will be of interest to RPG bloggers. Towards the end of the week, Graham sent me a cool link. It’s a guest post on Geeks are Sexy by Montreal-based blogger Patrick who runs the PiggyBankPie blog/project. This very funny and eerily accurate article […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Nuggets: Have Time, Will Travel.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post about the Bronze Dragon flying toward the sunset. In that post I challenged readers with a stupid question and the winner(s) could chose the subject of a Trope in RPG post. Davetrollkin stepped up first and requested I tackle Time Travel. Since time travel, much like the […]
Adventure Prep: The Newbie group, an Encore
Back in late October I posted an adventure prep article about doing a Demo D&D game for a group mostly made of D&D newbies based on Paizo’s Pathfinder #1 : Burnt Offering. The game was very entertaining, featuring crazy stupid goblins and some of the worse dice-craft I had ever seen in a game. A […]
Pathfinder #5 preview: Crawl that Dungeon!
Tonight features a double post because I’m taking off tomorrow night… It’s Valentine’s Day! (No I still haven’t received #4 if you were wondering) The fifth Installment of Paizo’s Pathfinder series, Sins of the Savios sets out to recreate the high-level massive dungeon crawl experience of classic D&D adventures. It features a multi-part dungeon based […]
DM Chronicles, Session 11: When the stars are right, we get Planar Awesomeness! Part 3
See part 1 here and part 2 here… this is the last part I swear… (I’ll have spent more time writing this session log than actually playing it!) The PCs followed the Wolf lord to meet with Kharasutra’s General. While dodging troupes of Armanites (Centaur Demons, a shoutout to my buddy Cayzle) and buzzing Chasme […]
DM Chronicles, Session 11: When the stars are right… Planar Awesomeness! Part 2.
See part 1 here. Also, please note that while the adventure is technically Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, about 90% of what happened last session was homegrown. Do not think of being able to replay this without some serious work! Seeing an overwhelming horde of arachnids attack the Elven compound of Iritidil’s House, all characters […]
DM Chronicles, Session 11: When the stars are right… Planar Awesomeness! Part 1.
Previously in Phil’s game… Our heroes investigate a series of Drow raids on Elven interests in Ptolus. Re-visiting familiar (under)grounds again, they meet and vanquish numerous Dark Elves and recover interesting documents. Meeting with Rule of Three again leads our heroes to obtain a cryptic Prophecy that talks of Demon slaying weapons, gates, keys and […]
Chatty's Out of the Box #001 : Discriminating Taste!
I should have spent the evening writing my DM log, I know, but the Webcomic bug came back and bit me hard. So I got myself a rightfully owned copy of Comic Book Creator 2 and I started experimenting a bit more. (Once more with Graham’s technical expertise and critical eye). Since my blog was […]

Mini-Crunch: The Bebilith Revisited
I’m currently writing about Friday’s last game and chances are the post will be massive. So I’m taking this one “Aside” I had plan to write and making it into a separate crunchy mini-post. While I was preping last week’s adventure, I had a strong arachnid theme going (I looooooove spider monsters!). At a certain […]
