I just finished reading my 5 year-old son’s bedtime story from a Pokemon pocket novella. When we were talking about the story after I could not help but notice how much he still loved Pokemon and the whole concept of being a young pocket monster trainer. This gave me an idea. I have wanted to […]
The stages of a RPG team's development, Part 1: Introduction
Image Source: The Cartoon Source. Those who know me know that I’m a very meta-(insert subject) type of person. That’s why discovering the TV Tropes wiki made my month as a DM. But tropes are not all that I find fascinating. People interaction and motivation is also a great subject of interest to me. There’s […]
Meet the players!: Yan
Last week I sent a questionnaires similar to the one here to my 5 players. I got 2 responses so far and I’m posting the 1st one today, along with editorial comments on my part. What character do you play in our current D&D campaign? (Name, Race Class)? Lillie, Female Pixie Shaper with a one […]
Online Tools, Take 3
I’ve been thinking about it for some time now and I finally set everything in motion this morning. (I love Sunday morning cartoons, both my kids are watching while I tap away and keep an eye on them to the sound of high-pitched laughter). After talking about it here and here, I went out and […]
Adventure Prep, Session 3: Adapting a published adventure
Image Source: Paizo’s Dungeon Magazine Two players can’t make it to the game next Friday. According to our social contract when 2 or more players are missing, we try to move the game back one week. While this extra time could allow me to prepare a super extra awesome adventure, I find that I spend […]

This is part of a series of articles that tackles the concepts of tropes and how they can be applied by a DM/GM to improve their favorite Role-Playing game adventures. It is heavily inspired by the sheer goodness of the TV Tropes Wiki. […]
Where you guys come from…
I’m going to commit a little blogging sin and go meta-blogging here. I’ll make it up with a Gaming Post today, honest! Yesterday I was looking at where people link from to get here and the planet is indeed a small place. (I took out the ones that stayed less than 1 minute, those were […]
My turn now!
Thanks so much for those who answered the Getting to know the DMs questionnaire. I have read all the posts and will check periodically for new ones. I even put the post in my ‘favorite links’ on the page to allow anyone to answer later on. Now it’s my turn. I won’t directly recycle stuff […]
Is there such a thing as too much cool?
Image Source: The Brothers Brick Blog My friends Dave and Danny over at Critical-Hits posted this over on their side. This makes me ask myself: Is there such a thing as too much cool? My rational side is a bit repulsed by the sheer cheesiness of the video. But my primitive, emotional brain purrs overtime […]
Getting to know the DMs around here
Image Source: D&D Cartoon. I’m working on a little series of posts where I will introduce each of my players with 5 RPG- related questions. While doing this, I thought it would be nice for me to answer these questions and post it too. Thing in, the questions were mostly player-related and I almost never […]
