Tonight, I’m going to spend the time I usually write these post to do some intense reading of John Arcadian’s Silvervine game rules. my free time/available energy ratio is pretty low right now so I have to prioritize even my hobbies… And I really want to tackle the review of the crunchy bits of John’s […]
Mini-Fluff'N'Crunch: Requiem for my Bronze Friend
That perfidious and oh so diabolical Yax has been reading all those “WotC presents” books and, through his Red Dragon comic-relief Minion Expy, has announced that our cherished Wizards on the Coast are revamping the dragons. One thing that broke my heart a bit (the cynics will say that WotC has ripped out theirs long […]
Mining Tropes for RPG Goodness: Fighting Depression with some Deep Pression!
This is the blog’s 200th post! I’ve written a lot of stuff in the last few months, and I’ve enjoyed it immensely. Thank you one and all for giving me the continued gratification of reading these many lines! Now instead of making this a stats-laden article, I thought I’d write another post from my most […]
DM Chronicles, Session 9: Troubled re-beginnings
This is a continuing series on my current D&D campaign with my buddies. I had no illusions that this week’s game was going to be stellar. My 1st goal of the evening was to get with my pals for the 1st the of the new year and celebrate my 35th Birthday (which was yesterday) and […]
My tools of the trade, Part 2
Back in October I posted about the tools and props I used in my D&D games. Well since my game is ready and good to go, I took a few more pictures of how I organize my things to have the smoothest of Crunchy game sessions. My DMing Corner: I have a recently renovated room […]
The 4e OGL: Joining forces with my Nemesis
A lot of digital ink has flowed on the subject of the changes to the way the 4e OGL will be handled. I’ve chimed in on Critical Hits and Omnius’ blog about it. The debate rages on and will for some time and I don’t want to spend any more on this than needed (It’s […]
What Awaits my Players…
I finished my game prep early enough to drop by here and make another mini-post. This time it’s a preview of what awaits my players and is also a showcase of what you can do with the D&D battlemaps, tiles and miniatures. First we have our heroes leaving the Styx’ Oarsman, a newly opened inn […]
Mini-Link: Iron Heroes Total Fanboi cop-out from an actual post
That title reminds me that I still haven’t received my Pathfinder #4 yet… I need to drop Paizo a line… The US Postal Service is, shall we say, not the swiftest there is. I already mentioned there might not be a post tonight, well this one is, sort of. It’s just not as meaty as […]
New Search feature being playtested
Following Greywulf’s glowing review, I signed up for Lijit’s search service which offers full blog search as well as for those of my blogroll and other feeds I added to it. Fell free to play with it and comment on how it turns out. If you prefer the original WordPress one, just tell me (and […]
(Not so)Mini-Crunch: Magic loot by any other name.
I’m fresh back from the Gym, proud in my willpower to have resisted the pull of World of Warcraft and the Blog to take care of me first…. I’m also quite aware of the WotC announcement about the way they plan to handle the next version of the OGL and it’s associated brand license (the […]
