Yeah I know that making lists can be considered bad form by some, but they do serve a purpose. They are perfect for a 500 word Mini-post!!! (Italics included) Oh and if I can get 2 comments on this we hit the 800 comments mark! With D&D 3.5 nearing the end of its useful shelf-life, […]
Adventure Prep: When Fun and Logic collide…
Woot! It’s game week again! Since this week’s game is the 3rd session in and around a Tomb dungeon, and since the adventure is pretty much prepped since last week, I was thinking of skipping this week’s prep article in order to focus on the campaign’s next chapter (Where Planescape meets Ptolus). But then I […]
The Case Report James will Never Write: Post me that Purple Heart, I'm gone!
While this may look like bad Fan-fiction, it’s actually our McWod Campaign log told from the perspective of my character James Kevin Smith, Level 1 Awakened. (Franky is GMing). Posted unencrypted on alt.conspiracy.inconnu by KingofheartS on November 25th. James is lost, I don’t know for how long. We’re really hurt… both physically and… well let’s […]
Brain was Hijacked by Heroes
I’m not writing much this weekend, I’m not apologizing, I’m just saying… 🙂 I’m home with the kids while wifey’s doing some consulting work in the Great North, she’ll be back on Monday. I don’t have a lot of creative juices once the wee ones are in bed… and I made the mistake of buying […]
The Overlord's bid for Superstar status!
Man, the suspense is killing me! When I first learned about Paizo’s American Idol-inspired RPG Superstar contest, I was intrigued but not that interested. While I have a certain knack for words and things D&D as well as non-professional experience in both department, being a RPG designer/writer was never seriously on my radar (As mentioned […]
Mini-Trope: The Bad, The Killer and the Evil.
So far I have been doing a lot of posts about DMing tropes, but what about tropes on DMing? (This post is very satirical. If anyone is offended by this… well let’s just say I’d rather not play in your game…) When you ask RPG-savvy people to describe a cliché (or a trope) about DMs, […]
DM Chronicles, Session 6: Perfectly Paced Action Crunch! (Part 2)
Image Source: Monster Manual IV, Wizards of the Coast, Artist: Jim Nelson In which ChattyDM’s players find all kinds of trouble and manage to always come out on top. See part 1 here. The players entered deeper in the tomb’s second level, finding themselves in a large “T” shaped room. It featured 2 more stone-doors-with-levers […]
Micro-Crunch: I knew Mike Mearls was a Crunch Overlord!
As you may know, Martin Rayla of Treasure Table is taking a well deserved month off from writing his daily blog. He’s now slaving away doing NaNoWriMo, writing about whatever it is DMs write about (I suspect Ninjas and Pirates, but that’s just me). During that time he’s reposting some of his best stuff from […]
DM Chronicles, Session 6: Perfectly Paced Action Crunch! (Part 1)
Previously in Phil’s game: The heroes struck a deal with the Keepers of the Veil to investigate where the plant-like humanoids, created by the drug Green Welcome, were headed in Ptolus’ Necropolis. Said plant-like beings, called Children of Sehan, were tracked to an ancient funeral mound and engaged. Two were slain, diffcultly, one remains, inside […]
