Yeah, at the rate I’m going Kobold Love will be finished by the time Wizards of the Coast publishes 5th edition. More seriously, I have already committed to run play tests of KL at Draconis (Montreal’s gaming Con) in 3 weeks from now. I have to move a bit faster, without killing myself. So I […]
The Life of a Suburban Overlord
Update: I went ahead and created a website for the webcomic. You can find it here. I will update it M-W-F until I grow tired of it or something… My friend Pierre bought himself a iPhone 3G, installed a Comic Book app on it and started posting possibly the first Twitter Webcomic. (He’s going to […]
Gaming at the Speed of Nostalgia
Wil Wheaton is probably about my age (35) because when I read his recent post about going through his gaming library, I couldn’t help thinking that we loved the same freaking games! (I checked, he’s 36). As I read his stuff online, I see he’d have made a great gaming buddy. We could have ribbed […]
Kobold Love: Intro, Background and Summary, Part 2
Part 1 is here. Introduction. For nearly 40 years, adventurers have been investigating dungeons, killing their inhabitants and making off with their possessions. To this day, for many, this remains a respectable life. Others found that it got old and moved on to other forms of adventuring. But what about the dungeon denizens? Some would […]
Epic Laundry Basket: Buried. Happy, but buried.
Projects are exploding. I’m solicited from multiple sides. My sideline “job” as a RPG writer is promising. All good! I’m writing the next Kobold Love post slowly and carefully so that I give you a good 1st draft. I hope to post it this week. Still good. TwittRPG is a success, but I won’t keep […]
Chatty’s Twitter RPG (TwittRPG): Beta Test
After one of my Twitter followers asked me innocently if I could create a Twitter Game World for them to play in, my brain literally exploded with possibilities… For those who don’t know what Twitter is, it’s mostly a micro-blogging platform where users can post little texts of no more than 140 characters long. It […]
Chatty’s Monthly Tips : Intro to Tropes
I have a monthly column on Johnn Four’s Roleplaying tips newsletter. This month, I adapted the material I wrote in our Gen Con 2008 GM-FU seminar to introduce his readers to the concept of tropes. Long time readers will notice that its a re-edition of some of my earlier posts. I’m re-posting it here because […]
Kobold Love: Intro, Background and Summary, Part 1
I’m the type of person who needs to understand a process before tackling it head on. That’s why this post is more about context and theory than actually writing Kobold Love’s first part. Bear with me, it will be worth it. First Impressions are capital When a DM opens up a D&D adventure booklet, the […]
Drunken D&D: Funny Quotes
I’m too exhausted to write a real post. But I have something funny to share it with you. At Gen Con, I played 2 sessions of Drunken D&D (designed by Dave the Game, DMed by yours truly) with my fellow bloggers friends. I wrote a 5 scene adventure for it and Graham created the PCs. […]
DM Chronicles: Session 1, That’s how you start a Campaign! Part 2
See part 1 here. The Banquet We started with all PCs participating in a seemingly endless Banquet hosted by the local Merchant Baron, Brandobaris the Fat. Late into the scene’s night, after some interesting Roleplaying, Brandobaris opened a casket of Drow Wine, reputed to turn into a deadly poison 5 minutes after being exposed to […]
