I got some news from Goodman Games today. My short D&D 4e adventure will get published! I can’t say anything about it but be certain that I will keep you updated! It should see the light of day next summer. I’m so happy and have been geeking out most of the day! For those who […]
Chatty DM Presents: RPG Blog II
Hi there. I know I haven’t been around much lately. I probably will maintain a lower profile for weeks to come. Please bear with me. I’ll be less chatty for some time, but I’m still around. One of the things I found myself having a knack for as a blogger is to get people together, […]
DM Chronicles, Session 7: Kick Door, Kill Monster, Take Stuff, Have fun, Part 2
As mentioned before, I slowed down on my crazy posting schedule. I’m still around, only less so. See part 1 here. After defeating the leader of the Bloodreavers, the slavers that brought the PCs to Thunderspire Labyrinth in the first place, our heroes noticed that no slave were left in the compound. One of the […]
DM Chronicles: Session 7, Kick Door, Kill Monster, Take Stuff, Have fun, Part 1
Previously in Chatty’s game: Our heroes come out of a 2 year retirement period to tackle a slave ring operating from within an underground complex called Thunderspire Labyrinth. Shortly after making it into The Seven-Pillared Hall, the main civilized area of the Labyrinth, they located and wiped out one of the slavers’ cells . Using […]
“But that’s not how it went” Tokens
A few months ago, I was musing on other ways to use D&D 4e’s action points. Since, I’ve been pondering the unfamiliar elements of Narrative Control (i.e. who decides where the story goes). Being a somewhat rigid DM when it comes to storylines and how scenes are played out, the concept of sharing control with […]
Book Series Review: The Malazan Books of the Fallen
The Malazan Books of the Fallen is a mouthful to say, but really that’s for the best, because it’s also a whopper to read. Currently on book eight of ten, the universe also encompasses a bunch of novellas (which I have yet to read) and an entirely different author writing novels in a shared world. Steven Erikson was an anthropologist by trade and boy does it show.
Chatty’s Mailbox: Writing an Adventure
As some of you may know, I just finished writing a draft for a D&D 4e adventure to be possibly published by Goodman Games (if the editor likes it). I’ve been posting vague updates on Twitter and Facebook and such for the last few weeks and some have been following it, being very supportive. So […]
Chatty levels up to 36!
Today marks my 36th birthday! I’m not one to make a fuss about my age. I’m a kid at heart and the number attached to my physical shell has been mostly immaterial. However, I feel I’m at a crossroad in my life. I’ve discovered the world of writing in the last 18 months that sustains […]
Bedtime Campaign: Pilot Nico’s Battlebot!
This post is part of a growing series relating the role playing bedtime stories I make with my kids. I hope you still enjoy them. Over the holidays, I concluded Nico’s Sword of Dream story. I’m not going to write about it, mostly because I forgot to record them and I don’t remember much from […]
The Michael Bay School of GMing: Say it with Rockets
This is a second guest post by reader Kitsune. With the recent debate surrounding the Rule of Cool and Critical Hits’ take on the Rule of C4, I thought this would be a good time to post Kitsune’s experimental essay on GMing. No doubt this will set some people’s teeth on edge while others may […]
