Image Credit: Labareda (As a gift to me) On July 24 2007, I wrote the first post of what was to become the biggest, most incredible project I ever tackled! Yes, a few weeks behind Stupid Ranger and Dungeonmastering.com, Musings of the Chatty DM turns one today. What’s more, true to the avatar I created […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 3: What?
I started this series to share my views on starting and maintaining a RPG blog. I first explored the “Why” and then the “How” of RPG blogging, both of which applied, more or less, to all blogs. Today I want to delve in the specific aspect of RPG blogging which is the “What” of our […]
So you wanna write a RPG blog? Part 2: How?
A few days ago I started a series where I share my views on starting and running a (hopefully successful) RPG-themed blog. Last time I tackled the “Why” which covered the reasons to start a RPG-Blog. Today I’ll tackle the “How”. Blogging Platforms and Hosting: The very first things you have to decide are what […]
Chatty’s Questions: Heroes’ Feast
One of the philosophy of tabletop gaming I adhere to is Cheetoism, which basically boils down to: We game for the snacks. And also the dice. But mostly, just to hang out with friends and tell tall stories I used to be more hardcore about ‘THE GAME’ until I realized that my gaming friends weren’t […]
Oh Noes! Joss Whedon is onto my plans…
I know, I know I’m late to the party and almost missed it. I love Joss Whedon, I like Nathan Fillion and I have a schoolboy crush on Felicia Day (She’s Codex from The Guild). Add that Dougie Howser guy (Neil Patrick Harris) and you got the weirdest, geekiest thing ever created (yeah I’m in […]
One Sentence NPC Update

Comment issues: Defensio gets the Boot, Akismet called back in
I’ve been having incresing troubles with Defensio spamming my fellow blogger’s comments and Trackbacks. Since the last thing I want is to create a hassle for readers and delay their comments, I’ve booted Defensio out and reactivated Akismet. If any of you are experimenting similar (or other) commenting issues let me know at chattydm@chattydm.net. Sorry […]
So you wanna write a RPG Blog? Part 1: Why?
Blogging is a strange beast. There are literally tens of millions of blogs on the internet. I’m sure most are inactive or are nothing more than Bot-driven post-stealing Google Ads strewn smears but it’s still a very impressive number. Even in the restricted niche of RPG blogs there seems to be scores of blogs (my […]
Moderates have fun too!
Okay so 2 days ago I posted a rant against the mere concept of the Tyranny of Fun. Now not only was I surprised to get some feedback from Mike Mearls (giving yours truly a fanboi moment) but I was absolutely astounded at the civil, dynamic exchange of point of views. Out of the post […]
I’m finally done!
After nearly 3 weeks of procrastination, World of Warcrafting and some serious intense writing, I’m finally done with preparing my half of the GM-Fu Gen Con Seminar. I wrote about 12-14 pages of tips and tricks on Tropes and Player types motivations. A lot of it is original stuff (as I felt bad recycling too […]
